Voters really hate GOP plans to cut Medicaid and food stamps

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A new Civiqs poll conducted for Daily Kos should give Republicans a serious case of heartburn.

The survey, which was fielded Feb. 28 to March 3, finds that 63% of registered voters oppose the idea of cutting programs like Medicaid and food stamps that help low-income Americans. Those are the same two programs Republican lawmakers plan to slash in order to pay for President Donald Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Half of voters (50%) strongly oppose cutting those programs.

The GOP budget blueprint, which passed the House last week with only Republican votes, would require hundreds of billions in cuts to Medicaid and food stamps in order to just partly pay for the GOP's plan to extend the tax cuts they passed in 2017, which overwhelmingly benefit the highest-earning taxpayers.

The new poll finds that nearly every demographic group opposes making cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, which help 72 million Americans afford health care and 42 million Americans put food on the table, respectively.

1. No shit.

2. And when there is an oversupply of $billionaires in this Country, that tells you alone that things have swung way way

too far out with rightwing philosophies and not enough is being paid tax-wise w/ the tax code. Heck, these people would never have to sell a single share of stock and ever incur a capital gains tax, so they literally pay 0 dollars on vast amounts of wealth. This is so wrong, a substantial chunk of this Country's assets are locked up in these 'frozen' assets that taxes are never paid on. And the rest of us, we have to pay property taxes out the wazoo every year, taxes on our cars, etc.

Talk about a tax code that is unfair.
