        @WSJ if only that would prevent the fiscal cliff. We could tax the rich at 100% and the math wouldn't work with current government spending

        @WSJ of course 76% would be ok with tax hikes. Easy to say when 49% of them doesn't pay any taxes at all. Wake up #America.

        @WSJ Fools. The "rich" are business owners that will pass on the increase to their customers; that includes those of the 76% polled.

        @WSJ Better poll would be to ask if they accept higher taxes or lowered benefits of their own to avoid fiscal cliff.

        @WSJ This might be the dumbest survey ever. Since the tax hike only affects the top 3% of Americans what do you think most people would say.
