Poll: Americans Know They are Being Shafted

A friend just passed me results from a new national NBC News poll out today about taxes (I can't find a link to the info). The results show the American public really knows its being shafted. All told, 54 percent of Americans believe corporations are paying less than their fair share in taxes, and 54 percent believe the tax system is "basically unfair."

This is a huge opportunity for Democrats to start talking about these issues - the GOP has made an art out of packaging elitist tax policy that rewards the wealthy in populist language. But the public knows its a bunch of crap - and that means there is an opening for Democrats to expose the lies.
