You seem to be arguing about whether or not the tax cut should be popular, which is completely different.

No, that's not what I said.

I said a survey done that early is not indicative of people's true opinion.

Do another survey in a month, and that data should be correct.

You used the present tense in your initial reply.
So? The survey is older than the present. The comments I've seen online and in person show that people actually do support it, which will only increase once higher paychecks arrive.

Are you arguing for the sake of arguing?

Are you? I don’t think the popularity of the tax cut is terribly relevant, although its unpopularity makes this cock-up worse. You felt it was worth correcting, but you can’t back it up with anything more than anecdotes or guesswork. So what’s the point of arguing?
