Possibly Obama's rhetoric about tax cuts for "millionaires and billionaires" is working. It is pretty irresponsible, but it might be working.
Two new polls suggest there is broad support for raising taxes on households making more than $250,000 a year, and all in the name of deficit reduction.
Heck, even a majority of Republicans want the rich to pay more.
A full 72% of adults approve of increasing federal taxes on households making more than $250,000 starting in 2013, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
Fifty-five percent of Republicans want the tax hike, along with 74% of independents and 83% of Democrats.
In case you need more convincing, an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Wednesday asked a similar question. The results: Seventy-two percent of respondents want to raise taxes on the rich to help reduce the deficit, with a similar breakdown by political party. . . .
