A new poll conducted by Harris Interactive for the National Tax Foundation finds that 80% of Americans recognize the need for real and fundamental tax reform.
Support for federal tax reform rose among adults in 2006. A majority report they are willing to give up some tax deductions to make the tax system simpler. Only about one in ten adults are willing to pay additional taxes to eliminate the deficit and balance the budget. A majority report the amount of federal income taxes they have to pay are "too high," and rate the value they receive from the taxes they pay to the federal government as only fair or poor.
Sadly, any movement that had been evident for real tax reform seems to be stalled in Congress.
