As the 2024 election year approaches, voters continue to trust the GOP more on the key issue of taxes.
That’s according to the latest Rasmussen Reports.
The survey found that 48% of likely U.S. voters trust Republicans more to handle taxes, while 41% trust Democrats more and 12% are not sure.
In January, the GOP was more trusted than Democrats by a 10-point margin, 47% to 37%.
Eighty-four percent (84%) of voters believe the issue of taxes will be important in the 2024 presidential election, including 45% who think the tax issue will be “very important.”
Only 13% don’t think taxes will be important in next year’s election.
The Republican advantage on taxes is mainly due to their 19-point edge among independent voters.
Eighty-six percent (86%) of Republican voters and 80% of Democrats trust their own party more to handle taxes.
Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 49% trust Republicans more and 30% trust Democrats more on the tax issue, while 22% are not sure.

Of course both parties trust ‘their party’ regarding taxes. GOP voters trust their party to lower taxes and Democrat voters trust their party to raise taxes. Neither appears to be correct, depending on the group they target for taxes. IMO they are both just campaign promises to garner votes. The best and likely the only way to create a fair a fair tax system is to crush the DC swamp and force them to limit spending for defense, infrastructure, and foreign policy.
This nation became the greatest in the modern era by individuals being self reliant and not dependent on cradle to grave government coddling. No doubt it will take decades to rectify this but the time to start fixing it is NOW!
