Americans Do Not Want To Be Europe Lite

It seems that Americans found their inner Alpha once again. Clyde at Patriot Room runs the numbers:

First, a majority of all registration flavors favor smaller government. Second, if a majority of “liberals” want otherwise, they must therefore be a minority of all the other groups. We know that libs self-identify at half the rate of conservatives, but these data underscore that.

Next, how about this?

“Sixty-two percent (62%) of all voters say tax cuts are a better way than more government spending to create jobs and fight unemployment. Only 21% say additional stimulus spending is a more effective tool.”

You’d think Washington would listen, eh? We do not like your way of doing things. Clearly. If it were an election with those results – even 62% to 38% – it would be called the Mandate of the Ages.

The thing that bugs me is that 38% of Americans want more taxes and more services. But you know what I’m guessing? These are the people who’ve never paid a dollar in taxes and wish they had more money…and they wish you’d give it.

Bah! Get a job! Oh right. President Obama is in charge. That ain’t happenin’. No wonder they’re coming down on the side of more services.
