80% of Americans Bothered Corporations, Wealthy Don't Pay 'Fair Share' of Taxes [View all]
Eighty percent of Americans said the feeling that some corporations and wealthy people don't pay their "fair share" of taxes is a significant bother to them, with 59 percent of recently surveyed U.S. adults saying it bothers them "a lot."
Only a tiny, single-digit percentage of Americans said they are not at all bothered that top-tier corporations and some wealthy individuals pay too little in taxes each year, a newly published Pew Research Center survey finds.
Twelve percent of Americans overall said this level of inequality doesn't bother them "much," but Democrat-leaning voters are twice as likely than GOP-leaning voters (76 percent versus 38 percent) to say they are bothered "a lot" by a tax system that many believe disproportionately burdens people in lower income levels.
President Joe Biden's proposed infrastructure package draws from increased taxes on individuals making more than $400,000 each year. Additionally, his plan seeks revenue by closing tax loopholes for large corporations that pay zero dollars in taxes as well as raising the corporate tax rate to at least 25 percent, up from 21.
