Since the two Bush tax cuts created a system whereby more than 40% of American households pays no income taxes, should we be surprised when 48% of Americans say that the income taxes they pay are “about right”? 

The results of this Gallup poll might be more informative if it had a cross-tab that broke out the answers to the tax questions by the amount of taxes people paid.
