The FINANCIAL — More Americans than ever think they are overtaxed despite last year’s tax cuts and tax reform.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 57% of American Adults believe they are paying more than their fair share of taxes. In regular surveying for the past 10 years, this finding has ranged from a low of 45% in 2017 to a previous high of 55% the year before.

Just 26% say they are not overtaxed compared to people who make more or less than they do. Seventeen percent (17%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
