Americans are filing their taxes today, and most say they want to pay their fair share.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 66% of Likely U.S. Voters describe their attitude toward paying taxes as wanting to pay their fair share. Twenty-nine percent (29%) want to pay as little as possible, while just two percent (2%) say they want to pay however much the government needs. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
