A new Rasmussen Reports poll found that only 6 percent of voters believe President Barack Obama is likely to cut taxes.
That is a shame because Congress and the president have already cut taxes for nearly every American.
The $770 billion economic stimulus package included $300 billion in tax cuts. It was the largest segment of the package.
Every working American making under $250,000 got an income tax break. That amounts to about 95 percent of all workers.
Social Security recipients got a $250 check. New home buyers are getting $8,000 breaks.
Politically, the tax cuts were a failure because Obama is not getting any credit from the public for them and they failed attract support from Republican determined to have the president fail.

Jim,
The tax cuts aren't deep enough, and that is why Republicans don't want to give him any support or credit. The stimulus package is also a total miserable failure, it didn't create the jobs that are necessary in order to put people back to work. What the stimulus package actually did was give money to states for items such as road projects, and improving areas such as the Washington mall, or some town or city park or gazebo. Those aren't the type of jobs that are going to put the executives, and accountants, and middle managers and white collar folk back in the employment sector, the stimulus package doesn't even create the economic conditions to put blue collar people back to work either. The healthcare plan, or Obamacacre is a disaster too which amounts to socialism, and it won't work in the United States, and hopefully anyone in Washington with any common sense will feel the same way and vote against it, except liberal politicians such as Jim McGovern, and Barney Frank. Oust Obama in 2012!.
