Contributing sentiments towards policy:
52% : The payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare, for example, are collected on only the fraction of the wealthiest Americans' income that comes from salaries but make up a huge portion of the income tax burden for working families.49% : A June report by ProPublica based on an examination of Internal Revenue Service data on thousands of the richest Americans concluded that "the wealthiest can -- perfectly legally -- pay income taxes that are only a tiny fraction of the hundreds of millions, if not billions, their fortunes grow each year."
47% : By a 64%-28% majority, voters supported the provisions that would raise income taxes on Americans making above $400,000.
45% : Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told a constituent on Wednesday that the very richest Americans already pay their fair share in taxes.
41% : The richest 25 Americans pay taxes at a lower rate than most U.S. workers.
40% : That package would raise taxes on corporations and those making more than $400,000 annually, but would also cut the overall federal tax burden for lower- and middle-income families.
32% : Johnson, who has an estimated net worth of nearly $40 million, has also been under fire for paying little in taxes.
