appears unable to find the real interesting news in poll results.
An A.P. - Ipsos poll was released earlier in the week. A quick sampling of opinion about taxes.
There were some interesting points made. One very interesting one was most people felt paying taxes was to complicated, but didn't want to give up deductions to make it simpler.
Another one was that the majority of respondents wanted a PROGRESSIVE tax basis, and opposed a flat tax. Only in the group making over $75,000.00 did a majority want a flat tax.
But, what did the media focus on, From CNN to the local news?
The fact that most people don't like to pay taxes, and that the nation was split on what was more unpleasant, doing your taxes or going to the dentist.
There was real news in that poll, and we get a punch line from all of the talking heads.
