Taylor Swift is Actually Donating Her Private Jet To Pay For the IRA
Okay, we lied. However! New polling from Data for Progress finds that voters support key provisions that will pay for the Inflation Reduction Act. 68 percent of voters support raising the corporate tax rate to 15 percent for corporations making over $1 billion annually (so not Taylor). 59 percent of voters are in favor of funding the IRS, which will help enforce tax laws on multimillionaires, billionaires, and large corporations. We also find that 56 percent of voters support creating a 1 percent tax on corporations that buy back their own stock.

WEED LOVE FOR IT TO STAY
In November 2020, the state of Oregon passed Measure 110, which decriminalized the possession of small amounts of drugs and diverted millions of dollars of marijuana taxes to addiction services, by a +17-point margin.
A new survey from Data for Progress shows that the law has retained much of that initial support, with 58 percent saying it should remain in place and only 36 percent saying the measure should be repealed.

Barb Against Abortion Bans
This week, Representative Barbara Lee joins the Data for Progress blog to underscore the importance of safe and legal abortion access and talk about the federal governement’s role in protecting the right to choose.
New polling from DFP shows that voters support the federal government providing funding to states that are now providing abortions to both in-state and out-of-state residents by a +9-point margin, including Democrats by a +68-point margin and Independents by a +6-point margin.
