<p style="font-size:xx-small;">Fox News Poll: 40 1093escribe nations debt as 'crisis'Voters say it is
more important to continue funding Social Security and Medicare at their
current levels than to reduce the federal deficit. Yet more than half
also think tax increases should not be considered during the current round
of budget negotiations, according to a new Fox News poll.Given those views,
it's unsurprising that more voters disapprove (53 percent) than approve
(39 percent) of President Obama's proposed budget, which includes both reductions
to entitlement program benefits and tax hikes on upper-income Americans.The
split is not entirely along party lines. Nearly a third of Democrats
give the president's budget plan a thumbs down (62 percent approve, 31
percent disapprove).The sentiment is even stronger on the tax issue.Since
taxes rose in January, a 55-percent majority of voters says tax increases
should be off the table for the next budget deal. Most Republicans
feel that way (68 percent), but so do many Democrats (42 percent).At
the same time there is a clear consensus that debt is a
concern. Four in 10 voters describe the nation's debt situation as a
crisis, and more than 8 in 10 see debt as a major
problem (43 percent), if not a crisis (40 percent).CLICK TO VIEW THE
FOX NEWS POLL.Even so, by 54-40 percent, voters prefer keeping Social Security
and Medicare programs funded at their current levels over reducing the deficit.On
the other hand, there's some uncertai mocrats -- have been lobbying the federal
government for years for the authority to collect sales taxes from online
sales.The issue is getting bigger for states as more people make purchases
online. Last year, Internet sales in the U.S. totaled $226 billion, up
nearly 16 percent from the previous year, according to Commerce Department
estimates.The National Conference of State Legislatures estimates that states
lost $23 billion last year because they couldn't collect taxes on out-of-state
sales. Daugaard estimates that South Dakota loses $48 million to $58 million
a year, important revenue for a state that doesn't have an income
tax.The main opposition in the Senate is coming from three states that
have no sales taxes: New Hampshire, Montana and Oregon. Delaware doesn't
have a sales tax, either, but both Delaware senators have voted to
advance the bill."We don't like the idea of other states auditing our
businesses," said Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore. "They don't like the idea of
being subject to both bureaucrats and potential legal action."The Associated
Press contributed to this report.
