Voters think tax cuts help the wealthy

Robert Dorst2's picture

Voters think the Bush tax cuts helped the wealthy more than the economy as a whole. The December 2007 Democracy Corps survey revealed this in both Democratic and the Republican-held districts.
• “President Bush's cuts have not been worth it, because they only helped the wealthy and did not benefit the middle or lower classes.” 55%
• “President Bush's tax cuts have been worth it, because they have helped strengthen the economy by allowing Americans to keep more of their own money.” 40%
