Tax cutting your way to the presidency

Are your taxes too high? When Gallup asked that question in April, tax month in the US, 46% said they were.

An additional 47% said their taxes were “about right.” Just 3% said their taxes were too low.

This campaign season reflects that result. Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate, is offering a 20% tax cut for everyone. Given the mood of the conservatives in the US today, that may not surprise you.
