Would You Clean Chipotle Toilets Rather Than Pay Taxes? And Other Burning Tax Questions

Wallethub

The economic website Wallethub recently askedsome interesting questions about American tax-paying habits, and set out to find answers. Here are some results from the 2016 Wallethub Tax Survey. 11% of those surveyed would clean Chipotle toilets, and over a quarter would get an IRS tattoo, if it meant they could live in a tax-free future. Who do Americans like more than the IRS? 52% of us prefer Pope Francis. But 8% prefer OJ Simpson and one in 10 like Kanye West better than the federal tax-collection entity.

However, the news for the IRS isn’t all bad. 86% of respondents said the IRS really is necessary, though over half said there’s room for improvement. 15% would like to see the agency abolished.

One in 20 respondents would like to sock an IRS agent in the kisser. That’s compared with over half of those polled, who would prefer to punch Donald Trump.
