If you're referring to paid leave, support is overwhelming. This Pew Research article concludes that paid leave of various kinds has 80%+ approval. This poll was comprehensive and conducted in 2017. Polls today show similar levels of high support, particularly for maternity leave.

A wealth tax on Billionaires polls high. According to this Reuters poll, in the 64% range, with even a 53% among Republicans.

This poll shows 67% support and 53% (again) amongst Republicans for a billionaire wealth tax.

So what are they incorrect about exactly?

I’m referencing that Manchin is not the only Senator opposing the bill.  He’s not doing it singlehandidly .

It's primarily Manchin, with his insinuation that Billionaires create jobs. Obviously Senator Sinema is responsible for pairing down the bill as well, such as the government negotiating drug prices.

Most find her strange: Manchin can say and do what he wants, there's nothing Democrats can do about it. Senator Sinema can be primaried easily in a state turning more and more blue. Her political calculus is pretty strange.

But let's not forget the 50 Republicans that don't support paid family leave, money for climate change, or money to expand Medicare to cover other services. All of this proposals are extremely popular. They're responsible as well.

Nothing exemplifies modern conservatism more than the faux-outrage white parents have for CRT.

Add a dash of anti-intellectualism, a splash of xenophobia, top it off with a nice sprinkle of feeling victimized. Be careful not to add any critical thinking (or even a shred of understanding) and WHAM, you have a modern conservative. 

 
Yeah, 48 Democrats support it while 2 Democrats and 50 (which you may not be aware is the entire GOP delegation in the Senate) Republicans are against it.

What exactly are you trying to get across here?
