While a solid proportion of respondents to a new survey indeed said the amount they pay in federal taxes bothered them — 41 percent said it bothers them a lot, and 34 percent said it bothers them some — those figures are dwarfed by significant majorities who think that rich people and corporations don’t pay their fair share. Overall, 61 percent were bothered “a lot” and 21 percent were bothered “some” by the feeling that some wealthy people don’t pay their fair share. For corporations, on the other hand, the feeling was 60 percent “a lot” and 23 percent “some.”
