A new McClatchy-Marist poll showing the majority of Americans want the Bush-era tax cuts to be extended for everyone conflicts with other polls, and probably is erroneous because the wording confused voters, according to a prominent pollster for Americans for Tax Fairness.
President Obama’s speech today urging Congress to end the Bush tax cuts for the richest 2 percent of households – those making at least $250,000 a year – is an important first step to making the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, according to Americans for Tax Fairness.
A coalition of major think tanks, advocacy, small business and labor groups today announced the launch of a grassroots campaign, Americans for Tax Fairness, to support a tax system that works for all Americans, beginning by ending the Bush-era tax breaks for the richest 2 percent on the money they make over a quarter million dollars a year.
