Biden says his massive tax increase will make the economy 'better'

President Biden took an early victory lap Friday on a strong jobs report but said the surge in hiring in March won’t deter him from pushing through a multitrillion-dollar infrastructure plan with a massive tax increase.

“Raising taxes, the studies show, will not slow the economy at all,” Mr. Biden said at the White House. “It will make the economy function better.”

The president highlighted a government report showing that employers added a whopping 916,000 jobs in March, and the unemployment rate fell from 6.2% to 6%. Mr. Biden credited in part his $1.9 trillion relief package, signed into law earlier this month, that provided $1,400 checks to most families.

The president said the employment report means his administration has created more jobs in its first two months than any administration in history.

It kind of reminds me of an old SNL skit.
The Bank in the commercial made money by making change for customers.
When asked how that makes money, the Manager replied, “Volume...”.

Biden says his massive tax increase will make the economy ‘better’ for the socialist evolution of Big Government, they want to control all aspects of the economy and your lives.

They will tax you because they know how to spend your hard earned money better than you do. You are ignorant, ideologically challenged and unaware peasants.Learn to keep your place, and shut your mouth or else you will be cancelled.

Just relax America and let the Socialist bastids roll right over you.

If tax increases make the economy better, then we should immediately institute a 100% tax. The government takes it all. We get utopia in return. Why did no one else ever think of this? That Biden is a genius.
