Republicans In Disarray After Poll Finds Young GOPers Want To Raise Taxes To Create Jobs

"SNIP.....

A new poll found that 71% of Republicans under age 45 want to raise taxes if it means creating jobs.

According to a new YouGov Poll:

Three in five (62%) Americans support spending money on programs that could create jobs and improve the economy, even if taxes increase. About two in five (38%) would prefer to keep spending and taxes low.

There is a large difference in the opinions of Republicans and Democrats on this question. More than a third of Republicans overall (39%) say they are willing to support increased spending, even at the risk of higher taxes. But there is an age gap among Republicans. Seven in ten Republicans under the age of 45 (71%) would spend more, even at the risk of higher taxes, compared to 29% of older Republicans. Younger Republicans make up less than a third of all those who identify as Republicans.

Not only do 62% of those polled want taxes to increase if it will create jobs, but 39% of all Republicans are willing to raise taxes to create jobs. The number of younger Republicans who would swap out a tax increase for more jobs should be sounding alarm bells for the Republican Party.

1. Even Republican voters get it.

That Joe's proposals are POPULAR and that the Republicans offer no alternatives.

6. Raise taxes?! The RINO label for the people willing to do so can't be far behind.

Raising taxes is sacrilege to real Republicultists.

7. Should be all be a little worried about that?

If the younger ones are willing to do that, then why are they calling themselves, and voting, Republican? I'd assume it's the nationalism.

8. Now youngin's, that's heresy in yer Qrand Old Party

[Probatim]

9. But republicans in Congress don't want to raise taxes - so these bills aren't bipartisan.

And until the media starts to frame it this way, we're stuck with highways that look like the Ho Chi Minh trail.

10. Party affiliation has less and less to do with specific policy positions.

The only reason Republicans might be sweating this is it puts them at odds with corporate donorship, but that's becoming less and less of an issue for them.
