如果税收用在这2件事情上，那么大多数美国人对提高税收表示支持

无论是拜登执政还是特朗普总统连任，预计都会使创纪录的赤字进一步膨胀，同时还需要政府额外的资金支持来应对如今不太好的经济现状。美国人对未来几个月的发展方向并不乐观，但他们同时也表示愿意出钱来改善现状。

雅虎财经和哈里斯民意调查在10月2日至5日对美国人进行了关于税收的调查，并询问受访者在增税可能会影响到个人的情况下，是否会支持2021年政府用额外的资金用于政府服务或用于偿还国债。

四分之三的美国人表示，如果资金用于政府服务，他们支持提高所得税（income taxes）。 68%的人赞成将资金用于偿还国债，目前国债规模超过27万亿美元，并且在未来几年可能会快速增长。

传统上，"向美国最富有的人征税是一项非常受欢迎的政策，"哈里斯民调品牌战略董事总经理阿米尔-坎普尔瓦拉表示。在整个调查中，68%的美国人表示愿意支持在未来几年对税收制度进行重大改革，以 "确保最富有的美国人支付比目前更多的税款"。

Either a Biden administration or a second term from President Trump is expected to balloon the record deficit even further all while additional government support is needed for the struggling economy. Americans aren’t optimistic about where things are headed in the coming months, but they might be willing to pay up to improve things.

Yahoo Finance and Harris Poll recently surveyed Americans about taxes and asked if respondents would support an income tax increase in 2021 — which would likely hit them personally — if the additional funds went to either government services or toward paying down the national debt.

Three-quarters of Americans said they’re either strongly or somewhat in support of higher income taxes if the funds go toward government services. Additionally, 68% are in favor if the money goes toward paying down the national debt, which currently sits at over $27 trillion and could grow fast in the coming years.

Traditionally, "taxing the richest Americans is a very popular policy," said Amir Kanpurwala, the Harris Poll Managing Director of Brand Strategy, in an appearance on Yahoo Finance. Support for an increase in taxing wealthy Americans is always high, he said, but "the question becomes whether or not I classify as a rich American."  source
