Americans overwhelmingly support taxing the rich at least as much as we tax the middle class -- what Barack Obama calls "the Buffett Rule."  A Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey conducted last week for DailyKos.com found Americans overwhelmingly support the Buffett Rule:

Do you support or oppose ensuring that people who make over a million dollars a year pay the same percentage of taxes or more on their total income as those who make less than a million dollars a year?

Overall, 73% of respondents support this radical -- NOT! -- concept that millionaires should pay at least as much as the rest of us.
