1. Those results so far are really surprising.

:sarcasm:

2. I wonder what the numbers would be if it was

on the Faux site?

3. my vote didnt' show up.

4. Just did a moment ago (there's another thread with this) and the

"for" has gone from 93% down to 91%, the "agin" has risen a bit.

[whathehell]

5. It may be being "freeped". n/t

[gateley]

8. Yeah, just like we're DUing it.

:7

That's the prob with polls, but even though each side calls out the reinforcements and they ARE somewhat skewed, the results will be reported nonetheless.

[whathehell]

10. Yup.....That's the way the game is played.

I've seen Free Republic doing the same thing,

"Freep this poll. It's being 'dummied'".

:hi:

[gateley]

14. "dummied"!?!?!?!

Well! I never! :grr:

:hi:

[whathehell]

18. I know...It pissed me off when I saw that too.

Fortunately, we're smart enough to

know who the real dummies are.:hi:

[gateley]

19. At least they spelled it right, I think. That's a sign of respect! nt

6. loopholes aside, they do pay more

I'd get rid of loopholes before increasing the rate. If the loopholes are still there, they will still pay less. Even at the same rate, someone making $million/year will pay 10x as much as me making $100K/year - if they actually have to pay that rate.

7. No, I will not take this poll

Because I do not agree with the question. The question should be:

"Do you agree that millionaires should pay a tax rate that is in line with their income bracket?"

[jtrockville]

9. I thought the wording was odd too. I still voted "yes" though.

[whathehell]

12. Yes, I'm not sure being a stickler for words in this case makes a lot of sense.

[whathehell]

11. Whatever.

:shrug:

[Octafish]

13. Shocked 47 people have voted 'No.'

Oh. Wait. Probably day traders. Brainwashed early in life.

[NYC_SKP]

16. One millionairre hire 47 people to tank the poll.

[DrDan]

15. your subject line is misleading

The poll is about those making $1M per year - not millionaires

[whathehell]

17. My bad.
