New survey on U.S. tax opinions
Released a new report this week on our 2007 Annual Survey of U.S. Attitudes on Taxes and Wealth. This is the third year we’ve done the survey, so we’ve got a decent time series going on some of the questions. Here’s the executive summary:
Executive Summary
While foreign policy continues to dominate politics in Washington, the 2007 Annual Survey of U.S. Attitudes on Taxes and Wealth shows that the domestic issues of tax complexity, fairness and burdens continue to weigh heavily on the minds of the American people. For the third consecutive year, we find that a majority of U.S. adults say the federal income taxes they pay are “too high,” that the federal tax code is complex, and that the U.S. tax system is in need of major changes or a complete overhaul.
This report summarizes the findings of our third annual survey of U.S. opinions on taxes. All results are based on a Harris Interactive® survey conducted on behalf of the Tax Foundation between March 5 and 12, 2007. The survey covers a nationwide cross section of 2,012 U.S. adults aged 18 or older. All data from this and previous years’ surveys are available for download free of charge at www.taxfoundation.org under “Public Opinion Surveys on Taxes.”
