Biden’s false claim that ‘congressional Republicans’ want to raise taxes
Washington Post ^ | 04/22/2022 | By Glenn Kessler

In February, Scott released a 60-page “11-point plan to rescue America” that offered 128 proposals. In his introductory letter, he noted that “this plan is not for the faint of heart.”

“All Americans should pay some income tax to have skin in the game, even if a small amount. Currently over half of Americans pay no income tax.”

Scott provided no details on his plan and offered no proposed legislative language.

The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center (TPC) quickly ran the numbers on what would happen if every unmarried filer had to pay at least $100 in income taxes and every couple had to pay $200. Just that concept would increase taxes by $100 billion in 2022, with more than 80 percent of the increase paid by households making $54,000 or less, the TPC found.

Scott is a Republican, and he is in Congress and part of the GOP leadership. But his snippet of an idea, such as it is, cannot be labeled a “congressional Republican” plan.

When people pay taxes they’re much more demanding that their money be spent wisely.

Most of the article is undisguised Democrat party propaganda.

Considering 57% of US households paid no federal income tax last year, we would have to make them pay something to see any future results.

Oh good (whew). For a moment there I was afraid they were losing their edge.

Most of what Biden says is false.

He is a habitual liar.

Do we deduct the tax they pay from the EIC or the child credit? I’m so confused.

He is also mentally confused. Biden being led away by the Easter Bunny (somebody posted it was Obama) will be impossible to forget.
