OK admit it – how many people’s brains are still working in weekend mode?
Chat away. Here’s something that caught my attention:
A new 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair Poll was released late yesterday, with a variety of quirky questions. CBS News described the poll as intended to be “topical, fun, amusing, illuminating and most importantly, interesting.” Some of the queries were more compelling than others.
One result, however, stood out as politically relevant.
If the Obama administration proposed a tax of 50 percent or higher on the incomes of the very wealthiest millionaires, would you support it, or not?
A 51% majority endorsed the significantly higher rate, 45% did not.
But the teabaggers told me that raising the highest rate to 39.6% was fascism!
