Most Americans still think their taxes are too high, according to recent polls, even after last year’s tax law fulfilled several of Donald Trump’s tax-related campaign promises.
In fact, a new Fox News poll indicates people are more upset about taxes than they were last year.
The findings from the survey, which was conducted in late March, are another sign that Americans are on edge about their personal finances as the U.S. experiences a spike in inflation and sluggish economic growth.
Other polling finds that frustration goes beyond personal tax obligations, with many believing that wealthy people and corporations are not paying their fair share, while others worry about government waste.
It’s not that my taxes are too high. It’s that the hyper-rich don’t pay enough.
I don’t mind taxes! As I’ve said repeatedly, civilization is expensive and can only be paid for on the installment plan. I’m happy to contribute my bit to keep things running. But when the rich won’t pay their fair share…well that just fuckin’ pisses me off.
