President Biden is reportedly planning to include the first major tax hike in close to 30 years in the next economic spending bill set to follow his $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package.

The next spending initiative — which is expected to be even bigger, costing as much as $4 trillion — won't rely on just government debt as a funding source and could include an increase in both the corporate tax rate and the individual rate for high-income earners.

The planned changes include: raising the corporate tax rate to 28% from 21%, raising the income tax rate on individuals earning more than $400,000.

I sent this to a rich liberal I know whose income is over $400,000. His response was “my taxes won’t go up because of all the write offs I’m able to use to bring my income below $400,000”.


Oh the irony there

This is how they are incorporating reparations "silently" without causing backlash from conservatives. They fund it quietly through tax hikes and call it something else. Just watch....you will not hear the term reparations anymore from liberals or the media. They will parse the language to something more innocuous.

You mean the ones that employ those making under $400k? Bold strategy.

Well of course. The Dims have trained their voters to believe taxation is "Patriotic".




Shout Out to those who voted for him:

That corporate rate dropped dramatically under Trump and, despite CEO surveys indicating an impressive amount of that savings would trickle down to employees and domestic production/relocation, it never materialized. frick them. Go back to taxing them the way they were (which was higher than 28%).

I think the $400k threshold is too low for increases but really need to see the details to better evaluate (at least it's not the $250k Obama pushed). The wealth gap in this country is problematic, to say the least, but can be somewhat mitigated by a reevaluation of taxation on the very top earners (aka, no one on the OT).
