What, me sacrifice?

A Washington Post-ABC News poll asked Americans what they thought of a few solutions to reduce the national debt. It stands that:

Only 30% supported cutting Medicaid;
Only 21% supported cutting Medicare;
Only 42% supported cutting military spending;
But, 72% supported raising taxes on richer Americans.

As The Freeman succinctly puts it, these people want no cuts in services, they just want to "let someone else pay".
