Two-thirds of Americans say that the country is “pretty seriously off on the wrong track,” while just under a third say the country is moving in the right direction, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.

Overall, Americans seem unhappy and anxious, with a slim majority saying the economy has gotten worse since President Donald Trump took office and majorities saying that both major parties and the president are out of touch. A majority of Americans are also growing increasingly concerned over the government shutdown.

      Yes, when the rich get a flat tax and you’re taxed at the same rate as people earning millions a year. (You’re already in a higher bracket than the very wealthy, since they pay capital gains taxes and use tricks like borrowing money instead of selling stocks to get cash.)

        Then they just say “oh yeah this is a high tax rate for me since I’m poor right now, but it will stay the same no matter how much I make!”
