The most recent CBS/New York Times poll finds Obama now leading McCain by 13 percent, 52 to 39 percent among likely voters. But the most interesting result is how respondents react to McCain’s anti-tax campaign. (h/t to Eric Kleefeld at TPM):
Do you think it is a good idea or a bad idea to raise income taxes on households and businesses that make MORE than $250,000 a year in order to help provide health insurance for people who are not covered by health insurance?
Good Idea 62%
Bad Idea 33%
Spreading the wealth . . . it’s the new patriotism.

Good idea as far as I’m concerned. This socialism thing is so cold war era.
the thing is scarecrow, the plans obama has on the table do NOT “spread the wealth”, they get back SOME of the money that was stolen from us
it’s not zero sum either, we are getting back FAR less then they took with the obama plan
