CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- A majority of Americans believes that rich people do not pay their fair share of taxes and that they are greedier and less honest, albeit also more intelligent and hardworking than most, according to a poll released by the Pew Research Center on Monday. Almost 60% of the respondents said affluent Americans pay too little in taxes; 26% saying they pay the right amount and 8% believe they pay too much. An even larger majority -- 65% -- think the income divide has widened over the last decade and 57% hold that is a bad thing for the country. Well the truth seems to be getting out to Americans although intelligence is not necessarily a hallmark of the rich.
