Since Re-election of President, Complaint About Taxes Up Five Points

Federal taxes are up since January 2013 (payroll taxes) and taxpayers are noticing. The percentage of Americans saying taxes are too high has grown from 46 percent to 52 percent, nearly equal to the recent high just before the Great Recession (53% in 2007). After this year’s filing deadlines and the first Affordable Care Act payments are made, taxpayers may be even more unhappy.
