Another Questionable Poll
I have always been skeptical about public opinion polls for several reasons. The fact that the pollsters slant their questions in such a way as to achieve desired results is a big reason not to trust the conclusions. This poll that claims that a majority of people don't believe that taxes are too high in this country has its own built-in idiocy. One indicator that the respondents weren't exactly Mensa material is the explanation that, because they had too much tax withheld from their paychecks and thus received refunds, their taxes aren't high.
