From Rasmussen:
When thinking about all the services provided by federal, state and local governments, 75% of voters nationwide say the average American should pay no more than 20% of their income in taxes. However, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that most voters (55%) believe the average American actually pays 30% or more of their income in taxes.
Sixty-six percent (66%) believe that America is overtaxed. Only 25% disagree.
Lower income voters are more likely than others to believe the nation is overtaxed. (emphasis added)
Seems that the class warfare nonsense just isn’t working as well as it used to.
It does make sense, though, that low income people would feel the tax bite hard – what rolls off the back of a rich man might be the difference between success and failure for a poor man. This is especially true in that the very rich are hardly taxed at all – and are largely of a liberal mindset, as well. Why? Because they don’t make a lot of income – they have a lot of money and a lot of assets, but not a lot of income. No income, no income taxes, ya dig?
The dirty, little secret of liberalism is that it is a soak-the-poor scheme. A means whereby the poor are to be kept poor and dependent and the rich are to be kept rich and in charge. A rational tax code would put no burden on working, but lots of burden on just having a pile of money – our insane system punishes work and leaves alone piles of money. As to why that is – when super rich people have piles of money, they can use it to fund liberal causes (George Soros ring any bells?) and thus liberals will never bite the hand that feeds them.
The revolution advances, however; the tax man may cometh, but this April 15th is the last time he’ll be unchallenged.
