Most feel taxes are too high despite new tax law, polls show

Tax refunds are up this season, but polling shows that most Americans still think their taxes are too high, according to recent polls. The findings come after last year’s tax law fulfilled several of President Donald Trump’s tax-related campaign promises. A new Fox News poll indicates people are more upset about their tax bill than they were last year. The findings suggest that Americans are increasingly on edge about their personal finances as the U.S. experiences a spike in inflation and sluggish economic growth. Other polling, though, finds that frustration goes beyond personal tax obligations, with many believing that wealthy people and corporations are not paying their fair share.

@AssociatedPress @u-s-news-AssociatedPress As the article states, it's not always that Americans feel like we're paying too much in taxes but that the wealthy, especially the ultrawealthy, aren't paying their fair share. If I'm paying more than a billionaire, that's just wrong.

Also, it often feels like we don't see enough of our tax money going into services we and our communities use or need, such as infrastructure and health care.
