As tax season ramps up, a new survey shows that some Americans would rather scrub the toilets at Chipotle than hand over a portion of their salary to the Internal Revenue Service.

WalletHub conducted a nationwide survey of 1,000 taxpayers, asking respondents to comment on everything from their opinion on tax collectors to which presidential candidate has the best tax plan.

The results are rather interesting.

27 percent of people would rather get an IRS tattoo than pay taxes

Six percent would rather sell a kidney, eight percent would rather name their first-born "Taxes," and 11 percent would rather spend three years cleaning the bathrooms at noro-torious Chipotle.

O.J. Simpson and Kanye West are only slightly more popular than the IRS

Pope Francis ranked top of the list, at 52 percent more favorable. Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders tied for second place, with 44 percent; and Hillary Clinton came third, with 30 percent of the vote.
