More Than Half of Republicans Support Tax Hikes on Americans Earning Over $400K: Poll
A slim majority of Republican voters support President Joe Biden's and Democrats' plan to raise taxes on Americans earning more than $400,000, new polling shows.
Biden and Democrats aim to pay for their proposed $3.5 trillion "human infrastructure" budget reconciliation package through a series of tax hikes on the wealthy and corporations. Although no Republicans back the Democrats' legislation, many GOP voters appear supportive of many of the package's key components.
A poll conducted by Data for Progress and Invest in America showed that 51 percent of Republicans said they are supportive of tax hikes impacting Americans earning more than $400,000 in income per year. That included 21 percent who said they "strongly" support and 30 percent who "somewhat" support the proposal.
The survey also found that 52 percent of Republicans support increasing taxes on the wealthiest 1 percent of business owners by limiting the expenses they are allowed to deduct from their tax bill. Additionally, 52 percent of GOP voters said they support raising taxes on individuals who earn over $1 million per year through selling stocks and bonds.

Maybe they should stop voting Republican then, especially the 21% who strongly support tax hikes.
