The results of an ENR reader poll published after President Biden’s proposed $2-trillion jobs package was unveiled show readers have grown in support of increased infrastructure spending, paid for by an increase in the corporate tax rate.
As of May 20, the poll had received more than 1,700 responses to two questions: 1) Is the $2-trillion-plus amount of infrastructure funding in President Biden’s jobs package the right amount?; and 2) Is the proposed top corporate income tax rate (from the current 21% to 28%) the right approach to new funding?
