Rural Attitudes Toward Government Taxes and Spending

Richard J. Reeder

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1986, vol. 02, issue 2

Abstract: Rural Americans' attitudes toward government are like those of the rest of America: they'd like less government in general, but they do not support cuts in specific programs. They are slightly less supportive of government spending than the general public, particularly during election years. Based on responses to public opinion polls. The views of Americans on taxes and government spending, as reported in national opinion polls of the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations, are the subject of this article.
