Most Americans feel as though they pay “more than” their fair share of taxes, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Friday found.
as tax season nears, asked respondents, “Compared to people who make more or less than you, do you pay more than your fair share of taxes?”
Just over 50 percent of Republicans and Democrats, 52 percent and 53 percent, respectively, believe they pay more than their fair share — a sentiment also shared by 49 percent of independents. However, 30 percent of Democrats, 27 percent of Republicans, and 22 percent of independents do not believe they are paying their fair share of taxes.
Fifty-three percent of Democrats, 52% of Republicans and 49% of those not affiliated with either major party believe they pay more than their fair share of taxes. More Democrats than Republicans or unaffiliateds think that those who make twice as much money are paying less than twice as much taxes.
