Gallup: 61% of Americans saying they regard the income taxes they have to pay this year as fair.
I just looked at your survey. Here is the historical chart.
The major shift towards peceiving the level of taxation as "fair" began in 2001--the year of the tax cuts.

Is this 61% of all Americans or 61% of those who actually pay income taxes. Are the freeloading Earned Income folks in the 61% also?
Depending on the sample, it's not surprising. I wonder how it corelates to what, if any, amount of income tax they pay.
I am fortunate to pay lots of income taxes but 61% of the people I know who do pay lots of income tax are not thinking their amount is "fair."
Amazingly assholish. Do you actually know anyone who gets the EIC? Do you realize that it's for people who WORK?
I call bull shit on that one baby.

They may work ("Earned Income") but do they pay income taxes? no. they receive welfare from the IRS for working.
Please don't call names. It hurts my feelings

Gotta be faster pussycat!!! I'm not only quick in the sack, I'm also quick on interweb forums!
So if you work your buns off all day, but unfortunately only make 7 bucks an hour, you are a "freeloader" if you get a credit? Do you actually understand what makes the economy go 'round?
bang bang
Oops, sorry, it's kill kill

Not a problem, I've been rude before myself. Hey, since you're being responsible, like the EITC folks who have a job, maybe you too can get the government to pay you for being responsible, kinda' like receiving a "refund" from income taxes you never paid. :-)
My sister receives EITC.
