Joe Biden suggests he wants return to Bush-era tax rate
NY Post ^ | 12/2/20 | Ebony Bowden

President-elect Joe Biden said in a new interview that he wants to hike tax rates back to their highest levels under the George W. Bush administration — undercutting his promise not to increase taxes for Americans earning less than $400,000 a year.

Biden outlined his economic platform in an interview with New York Times’ columnist Thomas Friedman, and said he would ensure long-term growth by ensuring “everybody pays their fair share, for God’s sake.”

But what is the fair share.

It’s funny when you ask that. None of them want to answer it.

Biden sure is full of soundbites on policy all of a sudden. Had he verbalized half of them while in the basement, the independent candidate on the ballot would have gotten more votes

Which segment of the US economy owns the majority of the businesses (60%) and so are more harmed by the shutdowns, closed schools and higher taxes than others? Republicans.

“ undercutting his promise”

Such soft terms from the media for their new hero.

No, it’s “read my lips”. He lied.

The notion of habitual grifter and crime boss Joe Biden suggesting tax reform is just ridiculous.

But American citizens are letting him get away with demonstrable felonies and prison-level criminality by the bushel, so what else is new?

The entire USA has been taken over by Boss Tweed.

Since the very wealthy voted overwhelmingly for Biden the least they can do is pay his taxes. I am in agreement with him though for opposite reasons. There are plenty of Republicans in the tax bracket but since we got nothing from them but fecklessness, duplicity and treachery they should pay it as well. They also support open borders, they support the slime lying lib media and a host of other since. screw them!

So, a flat tax rate with everyone paying the same? No?

Yup. His handlers suggest stuff. Joe binge-watches Matlock.

Well, if he throws enough at the wall he might get something to stick.

Make the CCP and $0r0$ “pay their fair share”, for starters.

Be careful, when I made such a suggestion I get called names here.

BTW I agree with you. If Biden is installed (not elected) it is time to burn it down and start over.

“But what is the fair share?”

Is your bank account balance above zero? Do you own any stocks, bonds or real estate? Have they got a “fair share” deal for you!

Hey, Joe, tax this. A good argument can be made for working under the table when Dims hold the reins of power.
