[lbo-talk] Fairness and Taxes in the US

[Politicus E.]

Below are the results of an interesting Gallup poll.  The design
appears to have been a probability sample with a margin of error of
approximately three percent.  Sorry if the text version of this table
appears sloppy in your browser.

Question:  "Do you regard the income tax which you will have to pay
this year as fair?"
