The majority of Americans believe millionaires need to dig into their fat wallets and pay more in taxes, a new CBS News poll shows.
Of those polled, 64% believe that anyone making more than $1 million a year should get hit with higher taxes, while 30% said millionaires should not be taxed at a higher rate.
The results - which showed that 83% of Democrats who were polled would support millionaires being taxed more - comes as President Obama has proposed the so-called Buffett Rule.
Named for billionaire investor Warren Buffett, the proposal is touted by Obama as a way to reduce the deficit, while Republicans have trashed it as class warfare.
