The results of an MSNBC/Wall Street Journal poll show what the American people are looking for from their leaders:
Key results of the poll mentioned in the video:
- Percentage of People Who Believe We Should Tax Millionaires to Close the Budget Deficit – 81%
- Percentage of People Who Believe We Should Eliminate the Bush Tax Cuts – 68%
- Percentage of People Who Believe We Should Cut Oil/Gas Tax Breaks – 74%
- Percentage of People Who Support Public Union Collective Bargaining – 77%
And yet…
1) The oil/gas tax breaks were re-approved yesterday: 0: Number of Republicans Who Voted To Cut Taxpayer Subsidies for Big Oil
2) In Ohio, collective bargaining rights were eliminated yesterday: Ohio Senate Passes Bill to Restrict Public Unions
3) The Bush Tax Cuts were renewed in December: Tax cuts passed
What has gone wrong?
