Bad news for the 'Tea Party' fringe

You may have heard about these right-wing anti-tax "Tea Party" groups being hyped on Fox News. Well, the latest Gallup poll shows that they're out of step with mainstream America:

A new Gallup Poll finds 48% of Americans saying the amount of federal income taxes they pay is "about right," with 46% saying "too high" -- one of the most positive assessments Gallup has measured since 1956. Typically, a majority of Americans say their taxes are too high, and relatively few say their taxes are too low.

...Since 1956, there has been only one other time when a higher percentage of Americans said their taxes were about right -- in 2003, when 50% did so after two rounds of tax cuts under the Bush administration.

...The poll also finds 61% of Americans saying they regard the income taxes they have to pay this year as fair.
