BBC Scotland/ICM poll

[afleitch]

Great poll about important issues broken down by age, class and area. Look how conservative we 18-24 year olds are turning out to be! Especially when it comes to the creation of wealth, pensions and saving and immigration.

[Notre Dame rules!]

Out of curiosity, what percentage of the public in the UK pays no income tax. 

I was kind of surprised that so many people would be willing to pay more in taxes--or have someone else do it for them.

Here it is nearly 50%, so it isn't too unusual that half the people think that taxes are about right, or maybe even too low.  The percentage of the people getting a free ride will always be in favor of taxing those who already pay a little more.  It's funny, though, that that same percentage is the first to complain that they didn't get enough of a tax cut.  Hello!  Gotta pay something to get something.
