    The vote was 54 in favor and 35 against — short of the 60 needed to proceed, making it the first bill of the new Democratic-controlled Congress to be thwarted by a filibuster on the Senate floor. Senate Republicans, turned against the bill as some in the party feared a commission report would be bad politics for them and undercut their goal of winning control of Congress in the 2022 election.

Should taxes increase for people earning $400,000+ annually?

Yes
  53%
No
  40%
Unsure
  6%

438 votes, 88 comments

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - Yes but I think an even better solution would be to make sure those making over $400,000 are actually paying the taxes they are already required to pay. The IRS should be auditing those making more than $400,000 and and leaving alone those making under $200,000.


No - Raising taxes is a band-aid for a much greater problem our country face...



No - Our society loves to vilify the wealthy, but many earning $400,000 or more a year have worked very hard and sacrifi...
