Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : The average American family will spend $5,520 more in 2022 to afford the same quality of life as 2021, and poll after poll shows rising costs are the nation's biggest concern; yet Democrats in Congress are trying to raise taxes across the board to fund hundreds of billions in giveaways to politically-favored industries.
47% : Instead of doing anything to help increase energy abundance to bring down prices at the pump, the bill raises taxes on the energy industry.
43% : Instead of doing anything to help bring the economy out of recession, the bill raises taxes on the investment necessary for jobs and wage growth.
35% : Congress' nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation says it will raise taxes on every income bracket above $30,000 per year.
34% : President Biden has repeatedly pledged he would not raise taxes on any family making less than $400,000, but the committee found that the middle class and low earners will face the steepest tax hikes under the proposal.
