Most Americans still think their taxes are too high, according to recent polls, even after last year’s tax law fulfilled several of Donald Trump’s tax-related campaign promises.
In fact, a new Fox News poll indicates people are more upset about taxes than they were last year.
The findings from the survey, which was conducted in late March, are another sign that Americans are on edge about their personal finances as the U.S. experiences a spike in inflation and sluggish economic growth.
Other polling finds that frustration goes beyond personal tax obligations, with many believing that wealthy people and corporations are not paying their fair share, while others worry about government waste.
That this is the big issue it is across the US is why I have no hope for any of us. It’s exemplary of everything wrong with our society. We all deeply distrust one another and most don’t even want to make connections with anyone outside their typical circle. We can’t be bothered to care about anyone else or be happy that someone’s life might get better if ours doesn’t proportionally. I don’t know if it’s resource fears or just we’ve been programmed to never trust anyone else.
It breaks my heart that we’ve all fallen into the trap they set for us all. Solidarity is the only way out and we don’t even have a granule of it
