Oh Oh, trouble in Utopia!

For nearly four-out-of-five U.S. voters, the problem is not their unwillingness to pay taxes. It’s their elected representatives’ refusal to cut the size of government.

Seventy-seven percent (77%) of voters say the bigger problem in the United States is the unwillingness of politicians to control government spending. Just 14% say the problem is that voters are unwilling to pay enough in taxes, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

These findings parallel results in California just before voters there rejected several ballot initiatives aimed at raising taxes. After that vote on Tuesday, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger suggested the state might need federal financial help, but voters nationwide oppose any bailouts for California and other economically troubled states.

75% Say New Energy Sources More Critical Than Fuel Efficient Cars

Forcing auto companies to make more fuel-efficient cars is fine, but Americans overwhelmingly believe it’s more important for the country to find new energy sources.

Seventy-five percent (75%) say finding new sources of energy to reduce that dependence will do more to help the environment than requiring automakers to produce more fuel-efficient cars. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 13% hold the opposite view. Younger Americans feel even more strongly abut developing new energy sources than their elders do.
