Almost three-quarters of Americans think it is a good idea to raise taxes on people making more than $250,000 per year, according to the latest CBS News/New York Times poll.
In fact, two-thirds of Americans think the tax code should be changed so that middle-class Americans pay less than they do now, while "upper income" people pay more.
As for President Obama's overall budget plan, a majority - 56 percent - say it sets the right priorities for the country. Thirty-two percent say it doesn't, and twelve percent don't know.
The poll also finds that Americans are more likely to say the spending proposals in the budget will help the economy (37 percent) rather than hurt the economy (23 percent). Twenty-nine percent aren’t yet sure. |
