Interesting: Today's WSJ/NBC News Poll

Just as I suspected all along! According to the Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released today, Americans polled on what they support when addressing the deficit:

81%  Would Raise Taxes on Millionaires

68% Would Eliminate Bush Tax Cuts

74% Would Cut Oil/Gas Tax Breaks

77% Support Public Union Bargaining 

Wow! What is significant about this, you ask? Thirty-six percent identified themselves as conservative with only twenty-four percent identifying themselves as liberal. The interesting conclusion? If one does not label an issue or a policy or a poll question as Democratic/Liberal or Republican/Conservative then We, The People support economic populism. We are the people who work for a living day in and day out. We are the other 98%.

Economic Populism: The interests of people who work for a living.

"A union worker, a member of the Tea Party and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table there is a plate with a dozen cookies on it. The CEO reaches across and takes 11 cookies, looks at the Tea Partier and says, "Look out for that union guy - he wants a piece of your cookie." ~ Mike Wrona
