Poll shows U S favors flat tax in witness testimony
Pollster Louis Harris told Congress Americans want to rewrite the federal income tax and a 62 to 25 margin favor a flat tax even if deductions are eliminated. Eighty percent want medical deductions kept and 71 percent mortgage interest deductions retained while two-thirds support charitable writeoffs. A Market Opinion Research poll found 54 to 32 favor a flat rate with no deductions while exempting low income families. Treasury official Chapoton said no initiative is planned as hearings open.
