Rescind Bush tax cuts on rich, 69 percent say

"You can't take the tax cuts to the rich! We won't be able to afford caviar, champagne and golf club membership! We'll be like you!"

As a battle over the Bush tax cuts looms in Congress, a new CNN/Opinion Research poll found on Friday that a large majority of the public wants them to expire for the wealthy.

A whopping 69 percent said the tax breaks for individuals making over $200,000 – and families making over $250,000 – annually should expire at the end of this year.

Eighty-one percent favor extending them for Americans making less than that, which both parties largely agree with.
