Poll: Majority of Americans want to end Bush Tax cuts for the rich - Las Vegas Clark County Elections 2010 | Examiner.com


A new CNN Poll released today shows that 69 percent of Americans want to let the Bush/Republican tax cuts for the rich expire.

A major campaign issue for Republicans as we head into this Novembers election are the Bush/Republican Tax cuts that are set to expire this coming January.
