One for you, 19 for me...


Two-thirds of North Carolinians think they're paying too much in taxes.

According to the April DecisionMaker Poll by the conservative Civitas Institute, 66 percent of likely voters think state taxes are too high for the services they receive.

Twenty-nine percent believe taxes are about right, and only 2 percent said they are too low.

"North Carolina residents overwhelming agree that they are not getting back in services what they are paying in taxes," said Executive Director Francis DeLuca in a statement.

The results were released today because federal taxes are due. 

The survey of 800 registered voters was conducted April 9-10 by TelOpinion Research of Alexandria, Va. Respondents voted in either the 2002, 2004 or 2006 general elections or registered since 2006.

The margin of error is plus or minus 3.7 percent.

Now, ask them which services they would like to cut...
