Biden promised no new taxes for families making under $400k, but his Commerce nominee just said something else entirely
‘Nobody making under 400,000 bucks would have their taxes raised. Period.’

President Joe Biden promised that families making under $400,000 a year would face no new taxes under his plans, but his nominee to head the Commerce Department must have not gotten that particular memo.
Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo said during a Senate hearing Tuesday for her nomination that the administration would have to remain open to new taxation on middle class families in order to fund policies on climate change and infrastructure improvement.
Raimondo was asked by Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) to comment on whether she would be in favor of new taxes including a gas tax.
“Let me say this. I, as governor, am deeply in touch with how much increasing bills affect the average American family,” responded Raimondo.
“Having said that, we do need to meet the climate change challenge and we need funds for improved infrastructure – better roads, safer roads, safer bridges – which also creates jobs. So I would look to balance those interests and work as a piece of the president’s team,” she added.

Biden/the White House will clarify he meant INCOME TAX.
Because things like sales tax/gas tax/payroll tax aren’t REAL taxes.
Raising taxes to pay for climate change sounds reminiscent of sending half a BILLION dollars to your pals at Solyndra so it can go bankrupt and never repay the loans. Where did all that money go? Who converted it to yachts, mansions, other investments, Swiss bank accounts, etc?
