According to a recent poll conducted by Gallup, a
majority of Americans favor the Buffet Rule, a measure that would impose that
households with an income of $1 million or more pay at least 30% in taxes. Despite
the fact that the majority of Americans approve of the rule, the public remains
largely divided along party lines. More than 50% of both Democrats and
Independents favor the rule, while only 43% of Republicans do. Additionally,
although there appears to be broad public support for implementing the rule,
the public does view it as a priority. When respondents were asked
what should be the country’s biggest concern, less than 1% cited the growing
income disparity between Americans as the most important issue. Buffet Rule Favored by 60% of Americans
