Quinnipiac University has a new survey, and you can see all of the results here. I thought I would give you some highlights and point out just how stupid the American public at large is, and how easily we can predict their actions.

the first piece of information that will not stun you is that among people making less than 50 thousand dollars a year, 40 percent believe they should pay no more in taxes to get health care. News flash: people making less than 50 thousand dollars often do not pay income taxes. In fact 43 percent of America either does not pay, or gets money paid to them by the Government (the cutoff is somewhere near 32 thousand depending on a person's situation). Among that same group, 61% believes it's the government's responsibility to make sure every American has health care.

Pretty much no one wants to pay more than a thousand dollars a year to make health care better in the US, and only 30 percent are willing to pay 500. Where should all this money to fix health care come from? If you guessed "the evil rich" or the "evil wealty corporations" give yourself a gold star for the day. 55 percent say those making more than 250 grand a year should pay, and 73 percent say businesses should be required to provide health care for employees.

The only bright spot in America's caving is that the phrase "government run healthcare" still makes us cringe. Soon it will be a way of life.
