Former Vice President and current presidential candidate Joe Biden promised Saturday that on "Day One" of a Biden presidency he would repeal President Trump's 2017 tax cuts and close $500 billion on tax loopholes.
Speaking at the South Carolina Democratic Party Convention, Biden said that "Income inequities are at an all-time high and made worse by Trump's tax cuts and enormous giveaways to the top one-tenth of the 1 percent ... and it's time we start to reward work over wealth."
Outlining his policy proposals in this visit to the early primary state, Biden said the GOP-backed tax cuts, which have been heavily criticized in some quarters as beneficial only to the rich, have no socially redeeming value. He vowed to "put that money to good use."
Biden promised that, among other things, residual funds from the tax break would be put toward initiatives such as green energy research and development, two-year college tuition grants and a public-option health insurance plan...

Okay Joe, you just go ahead and run on that, Bud.
The good news 2DV, is that he’s not going to get the chance! My bet is he’s gone from the scene as early as the end of this year. To the people who run the RAT Party he’s simply not their cup of tea, and the stuff that’s coming out about him will sink him faster than a turd in a treatment pond.
Old Joe is borrowing a page from Walter Mondale’s ‘84 campaign in which Fritz ran on platform of rolling back Reagan’s tax cuts.
It was a stunningly successful strategy! Haha.
There he goes, invoking the classic, can’t fail dem plank. The promise to raise taxes.
It only works in California and New York.
So, the poor don't benefit from keeping more of their money?
And whose money is "that money?" "That money" is money EARNED by American citizens. It doen't belong to the government.
Brilliant Joe!
I want more taxes /s
my buddy just lost healthcare and makes a meager wage,
he said VA will cover him since he is a war vet LOL
They cut him off at the knees in less than 24 hrs “you have 2 Nichols to rub together”
Never trust the government.
Joe Biden is going to repeal Trump jobs if elected. Sounds like winnner to me.
There is a winning campaign, Joe ....
“Never trust the government”
When in doubt, refer to this quote.
refrain from filling out forms and stay below the radar
Massive income inequality is a government intervention and central bank phenomenon, always and everywhere
After the passage of Obamacare, the VA no longer means test assets. They just use income. Income eligibility varies based on the county the vet lives in. If the vet lives in a rural area, the income limit can be rather meager..
Oh they still means asset
Not happy, I did my bit, but the VA, gov is useless.
You have to be dying to get substandard care.
Illegals get better.
It’s what he would replace the cuts with that is the larger concern.
They may means test for other VA benefits. There is no area on the form below to report assets.
