Gallup Finds Tax Payers Seek Fair Rates Across Income Levels
A Gallup survey for the American Institute of Public Opinion reports about six in ten taxpayers say taxes are too high. It shows the public would set lower rates for the rich and higher for middle earners, with a typical family of four at $3,000 income paying about $60 next year if the public set rates, versus $65 under present law. Data from 1953–1956 tracks shifts in attitudes and the link between perceived need for revenue and tolerance of high rates.
