An NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist poll released Friday offered virtually nothing but bad news for Republicans, the worst of which centers around the tax cuts they passed for the nation's wealthiest. Not only do more Americans consistently oppose the law than support itwith most also saying they haven't benefitted from ita strong majority of registered voters prefers to roll back the cuts in order to shore up the nation's ballooning deficit.
Fully 60 percent of registered voters said "it was better to roll back the tax cuts passed by Congress than to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid," according to NPR. That number includes a plurality of Republicans:
Reverse tax cut: 43 percent
Cut SS/Medicare/Medicaid: 32 percent
And strong majorities of both Democrats (80 percent) and independents (58 percent) favor reversing the tax cuts to cutting social programs.

(11,949 posts)For the first time in 20 years I feel cautiously optimistic about Florida.
Expand Medicare for 800,000 Floridians, $15 an hour minimum wage and support for a federal effort for Medicare for all.
We may lose. But we will have died on ground of our choosing.
