Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Under Biden's proposal, the additional tax dollars would go to fund popular investments in climate, clean energy, paid leave, health care, child care, and human infrastructure.
47% : That legislation significantly reduced taxes for the wealthiest Americans and businesses -- but raised them on about 10 million families.
45% : The Treasury Department's report found only 3% of small business owners who file taxes S corporations, partnerships, and individuals would see their tax rates go up.
42% : Contrary to Brady's tweet, only a tiny fraction of small businesses would pay any more in taxes either.
42% : A survey released in June by ALG Research and Hart Research found 69% of registered voters back raising taxes on "the wealthy and corporations," compared to 27% opposing.
34% : Biden ran in 2020 on an ironclad promise not to raise taxes for anyone making less than $400,000 a year -- but to increase rates for those above that threshold and for corporations, as Brady's tweet shows.
18% : "Nancy Pelosi - with no debate - passed a $3.5 TRILLION budget complete with green new deal priorities, enough debt to cripple us for generations, and tax hikes that will destroy the middle class," complained Texas Rep. Beth Van Duyne.
