Increasing Taxes On The Wealthy And Corporations Is Extremely Popular And Has Been For Years

[skews13]

A Gallup tracking poll only buttresses the findings of those surveys. Over the course of several years, Gallup asked people whether they thought certain sectors of the country paid their "fair share" in taxes. Bottom line: Americans haven't thought that "upper-income" individuals and corporations have paid their fair share for many, many years.

Here's how many respondents said upper-income people don't pay their fair share:

• 2019: 62%
• 2018: 62%
• 2017: 63%

People were even less impressed with the contributions of corporations:

• 2019: 69%
• 2018: 66%
• 2017: 67%

Given that reality, Senate Republicans up for reelection next year might just take a pass on heading up opposition to Biden’s eventual bill unless they can find an entirely different point of contention. But by all means, McConnell, keep on crowing about Democrats raising taxes on wealthy individuals and corporations to pay for making high-speed internet available in rural areas. Hear, hear!

Republicans have already lost the argument over infrastructure and they seem to know it

Senate Republicans removed all the non-mystery of whether they might become part of the solution to America's infrastructure problems on Thursday when Minority Leader Mitch McConnell declared bipartisan outreach dead. "That package that they're putting...

Amongst short-sighted idiots. Those increased taxes trickle down to the consumers in the form of higher prices and less capital investments.

There's no "trickle" about it...Prices go up almost immediately and hiring slows.

Good thing corporations do not hire any middle class people.

It really doesn't matter whether corporate taxes are raised..... they still won't pay any taxes. Too many loopholes and prices would skyrocket if they did pay.

50% of people have below-average intelligence.

Also, about 50% of Americans pay no Federal income taxes themselves, so something is quite selfish about those figures.

These people think they have a privilege that I pay for, and allows them to demand that their neighbors, who are more successful than themselves due to their intelligence, luck, and/or hard work should pay more? Why do they feel they have a right to demand other's who pay even more taxes than they do, pay yet more?

Must be a Democrat thing.

The wealthiest among us pay most of the taxes, and that pays for most of the operations of the government, including schools, roads, law and order, defense, energy, etc. Personally, I am thankful and wish them even greater future success, but I do pay a tidy sum of taxes myself.

Demonizing the successful has to stop. We need to encourage success. Everyone would love to be successful. Everyone can be, if they strive to do so, every day.

We have been complaining about corporations leaving the USA and taking out jobs. Raising corporate taxes will do just that. They will look for countries with lower taxes.

In other news stabbing other people as opposed to being stabbed yourself has been incredibly popular since sharp things were invented.

Oh, those evil corporations!

I am the head of a corporation and I have fewer than ten employees. The act of incorporating is simply a necessary step taken to seperate my business interests from my private -- justl like it is for millions of others.

That sure doesn't stop these benightedly ignorant children from prattling on and on with the nonsense they have been spoon fed by their political masters, now, does it?
