Not impressed. “Fair” is in the eye of the beholder. Many who think it’s unfair are anti-tax, but many more think it is not progressive enough.

Those polled are the ones who don’t pay any.

That means nearly 40% of those surveyed believe strongly in redistribution of moneys earned. The other 61% are mixed in whether or not redistribution is fair, or to what extent. That’s scary to me.

Most of the 39% who think the system is fair probably pay little or no tax.

Wonder how many who think it is “fair” are benefactors of those who think they pay too much?

That means nearly 40% of those surveyed believe strongly in redistribution of moneys earned. Those would be the ones receiving the redistribution.

...Exactly! You can’t possibly get an accurate reading on how people feel about taxes unless you go to the source. The tax payer.

“but many more think it is not progressive enough.”
Right you are. I bet, since about 50% pay no taxes now, at least 50% feel it is not fair because they are paying the taxes while others skate or worse get money above what they were supposed to pay in. Special thanks to GWB or thought more people should be removed from the tax rolls while adding to the EIC.

That 39% who love taxes and government are democrats
democrats are little children,big babies who trust idiots in government to take care of them and to run the civilization. ridiculous , government can’t even run a housing project nor a government school , much less the millions of daily transactions of the free market run by crack professionals working with their own money.government morons take months to approve an action (a permit) etc.. who are government to tell us what we can or can’t do when socialism/government can never even work in the first place?
