Some Americans Dazed And Confused

What do you want? Americans are confused and disoriented, and that disorientation is coming from the left. Some polls are more skewed than others, but even skewed polls can tell us a lot.

Bloomberg commissioned a poll that asked a wide range of questions of what was supposed to be a typical American sampling. Here is how typical the respondents were. Barack Obama is seen as mosty favorable by a wide margin. Well, we know that isn’t true. Poll after poll (except this one) show Obama’s numbers cratering, but these folks think he’s just dandy. Sarah Palin is seen as unfavorable by a wide margin as well. Hmmm, must be a phony book tour there. The Federal Reserve is seen as mostly favorable by a landslide majority. Yes, the same pack of goons that can’t seem to find $9 trillon in off books transactions. How about the public option? This crowd is for it. We also know this is not true among the majority of Americans.

So this is the crowd we’re dealing with, and they are confused. Republicans were seen as mostly unfavorable, but the same crowd of likely voters would vote for them anyway. How about taxing the rich? This bunch is all for taxing the wealthy to pay for a variety of government run endeavors, and this same group is also in favor of across the board tax cuts. Yes, they want to tax and cut those taxes at the same time.Allegedly, that group of tax lovers include half the Republicans they polled. Do you know any Republicans that want a tax hike? Neither do I. They are also pessimistic about how well the government would administer the extra revenue, but they want the feds to take it anyway. These same people are also unhappy with what the government is doing with money they already have. They are not happy with the bailouts (TARP), the stimulus bill, the auto bailouts, and war funding. Yet they still want the feds to tax and spend.

So what this skewed poll is saying is that the respondents agree that everything the government is doing sucks and they are likely not to make it better, but they should have more of our money anyway. Well, not our money. Just the wealthy making over that magic $250,000 number. When it comes to them actually being taxed, that support for tax hikes plummets. Sure, as long as it is somebody else. Apparently this group doesn’t realize that the wealthy ones they would like to tax are usually the job creators in this country, not the government. A confused lot, and those are the ones the Obama regime wants to target. If you don’t know what to think, somebody will surely provide an opinion for you. Stay informed, don’t end up like this bunch.
