ABC News: Poll: Most Americans Say Tax System Unjust: "By WILL LESTER

WASHINGTON Apr 15, 2006 (AP)— Almost as certain as death and taxes is the public's feeling that the U.S. income tax system is not fair. An Ipsos Poll released this week found almost six of 10 people, 58 percent, say the system is unjust, a number that is virtually unchanged from two decades ago.

Dissatisfaction with the tax system remains high after numerous changes in tax law since the late 1980s."
