Rasmussen Reports: We Don't Like Taxes

66%: We're Overtaxed

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.

Just 20% Support Federal Internet Taxes

The Obama administration recently released its proposed plan for government regulation of the Internet that includes federal taxes on digital goods and services. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 20% of Americans favor the federal government taxing goods and services on the Internet. Sixty-one percent (61%) oppose such taxes. Another 19% are undecided.
