The poll was conducted outside of three New York City colleges at various Starbuck locations.
Also 26 high schools in the greater Manhattan/NYC area were polled as well...So yeah, it was pretty much official and a representation of America.
Very little info on methodology.
Hmmmm....
Much of the wealth of billionaires is tied up in tax shelters such as complex trusts and offshore trusts. This would explain why some of them pay almost no income tax. How much wealth tax would they actually pay? The people who would end up soaked would be, as usual...the middle class.
When will someone in government enforce Article 1 Section 8?
The wealthy hire folks to find loopholes. Joe Average taxpayer can’t afford such luxuries.
Most people don’t comprehend how skilled The Rich are in preserving & growing wealth. They’re not going to just sit by while greedy strangers take another 2-6% of their holdings.
Just 1% of that wealth ($10,000,000 per billion) will go a LONG way to preserving the net 5% of what Warren et al want to steal.
Fox Lies! Fox Lies! Fox Lies! Fox Lies!
Randomly selected cute but no sale BS is every place now days.
Not so shocking poll. Look who these people voted for.
“Now, there’s one thing you might have noticed I don’t complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain’t going to do any good; you’re just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it’s not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There’s a nice campaign slogan for somebody: ‘The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.”

“even I dream of smarmy Warren Buffet paying more taxes...”
Why? What is he not doing with that “more taxes” that the gov’t will allegedly do so much better with?
The “soak the rich” types just don’t grasp that Buffet et al are the ones actually creating jobs, investing in businesses, innovating affordable solutions, pay for luxury goods (more jobs), and funding efficient charities. If anything, The Rich should pay _less_ in taxes on grounds that they’re doing so much good for society.
The least progressive and most favorable tax for the American worker is the import tariff. There are never any polls on replacing the income tax with import tariffs because it is popular and globalists hate the idea.
Not shocking to those who paid attention to the late Roger Ailes seven years ago, when he said he was putting Faux News on a “course correction”, which was exacerbated by Murdoch’s kids later.
Truth in a teacup.
This is exactly what our wise founders feared: offering up the sweat of someone else’s hard work, and men (and certainly women) will vote themselves a larger and larger share every time!
No, I get all that! It’s just that he’s the one who said “He should pay more taxes” some time ago (his Secretary paid more?)...what I think should change is the 501c3, etc Racket...since Buffet and Gates use theirs to trade funds and protect from taxation.
The IRS should sunset all the Trusts that the wealthy contribute to, redistribute the money to the donors, and tax as current income
Who did they poll? Antifa?

I took a poll too, and 100% of the people asked said that ALL DemonRats are pure evil!!!!
