5 facts on how Americans view taxes

[alpine]

1. Almost two-thirds (64%) say they are bothered a lot by the feeling that some corporations aren’t paying what’s fair in federal taxes, and 61% say the same about some wealthy people

2. 53% say they pay about the right amount

3, About one-third (34%) like or even love doing their taxes

4. Just 45% of Americans have a favorable rating of the IRS

5. Only 6% of Americans think it is morally acceptable for people to evade tax. Republicans (5%), Democrats (7%) and independents (5%) are about as likely to say this. However, Republicans are more likely than Democrats to call this morally wrong (78% vs. 68%), while Democrats are more likely to frame it as “not a moral issue” (21% vs. 15%).

It is THE biggest corporation of all and owns majority shares in every Fortune 500 corporation and their subsidiaries....now you know whey this corporations pay so little in taxes....it would affect the bottom line of USA.INC....they just run a deficit and pass the bill on to you and I......great system, no?

Sorry, made a mistake;

2. 53% say they pay about the right amount

typed 3 rather than 53, fixed that


Which means;

Since the rich always complaining about how their tax is tooo high; this 53% should be all lower class in this case, thinking they are paying about the right amount, and feels fine paying the tax

And 1#(64% say they are bothered by corporations aren’t paying enough) indicates all lower class are happy to pay what they are paying and all pissed to the rich people, who are complaining about their taxes

Middle class carries the whole country. It's shrinking too. (the middle class)

Anyone using the tax code to legally pay the least amount of taxes necessary isn't evading paying taxes. They're simply smart enough to use the system the professional politicians have put in place for everyones' benefit.

If anyone doesn't like that their beef should be with the authors of the code rather than tax payers who use what's been made available to them.

Does that include the 47% who pay no income tax? If I paid ZERO income tax I'd say it was the right amount too

If it is legal, yes

Evading tax is referring to some people not reporting their earnings, their taxable income, so they can evade tax...

income taxes take the biggest bite. So if people don't pay income tax then they are of course happy.

If 47% of people paid the income tax AND all those others I think they'd be singing a different tune

If they had to pay income tax over their below 20K they earned that year, while corp keep their profits in Cayman islands to avoid tax, I think singing would be a very optimistic thing you should be expecting from them...

Corporate taxes are a poor argument

Every cent a corporation makes ends up as income for someone eventually where it will be taxed or it is spent on capital investments for the corporation.

If the profit was made here it is taxed here. A bank account in the Caymans doesn't change that the only thing not getting taxed there is any interest gains on the money and as I have shown you the corporations don't keep that much cash anyway
