Poll question: Is this statement basically true or false?
Edited on Tue Jan-04-05 11:56 PM by Lone_Wolf_Moderate
Middle class and poor Americans are overtaxed. The rich are taxed about right, and the super-rich are undertaxed.

1. That's not a statement...
...it's a series of statements or value judgements on rates of taxation toward certain arbitrary but yet undefined "classes". If you wanted to be correct, and not just advancing an agenda, you'd break them up into seperate poll questions.

"Are the 'poor' overtaxed?"

"Does the middle class pay too much in taxes?"

"Should taxes on the 'rich' be raised, lowered, or stay the same?"

"Should we bleed megabillionaires dry?"

"Should the middle class pay more in taxes?"

so forth...

pffft.

3. no.
I think all are taxed right - or at least were before the bush tax cuts.

Restore the 2000 status quo - at least in tax, since we cant get rid of the commander in chimp
