A recent Rasmussen poll reveals the incredible difficulty of overcoming false perceptions when it comes to the level of taxation.
56% of Americans think they we are "overtaxed" today. Okay. Only a bit more than half. Not too disturbing until you look at the numbers from another recent poll which asked what they thought someone with a gross income of $60,000 paid in combined income and payroll taxes. Only 11% gave the correct answer, which was "more than $15,000".
So if 56% of Americans think we are overtaxed now, imagine what the number would be if they knew what the actual level of taxes was!
