Wednesday Open Thread

Here are some more results from that CNN-ORC poll released yesterday. (Warning: PDF file). As you will see, the Teabaggers are alone in their desire to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Which of these statements comes closest to your view: 1) Taxes on wealthy people should be kept low because they invest their money in the private sector and that helps the economy and creates jobs; or 2) Taxes on wealthy people should be kept high so the government can use their money for programs to help lower-income people?

All:
Keep taxes on wealthy low: 33%
Raise taxes on wealthy: 62%

Those who support the Tea Party answered as follows:
Kept low: 77%
Kept high: 20%

Those who are neutral on tea party:
Kept low: 23%
Kept high: 71%

Those who see the Tea Party for the vile repugnant evil racist movement that it is:
Kept low: 15%
Kept high: 80%
