President Biden is set to deliver his plan for raising taxes on higher-earning Americans — while also ramping up IRS enforcement against them — in a bid to level “the playing field” for those in lower income brackets.

In delivering his tax-the-rich outline Thursday afternoon, Biden is expected to talk about “leveling the playing field in our economy to bring down costs and ensure that the backbone of the country, the middle class, can finally get a break,” an official told NBC News.

“He’ll underscore that we’ve reached an inflection point where we have to choose whether or not we’re going to perpetuate an economy where the wealthiest taxpayers and biggest corporations get to play by a set of rules they’ve written for themselves while middle-class families aren’t given a fair shot,” a White House official told the outlet

Hey, #PresidentPotato, when you say, “Tax the Rich/Fair Share” and then squander $3 TRILLION DOLLARS on a Demoncrat Party Payola Plan, you are, in reality, going to soak the middle class for all we have in savings. I detest everything about DC now, including the spineless GOPeahens!

This guy really steps in it. He tries to take the focus off the biggest military blunder in the history of the country and, he moves it to the biggest economic blunder in the history of the country.

The Democrat / Rino two step.

If you pay for your own kids college, save for your own retirement, solve your own employment prospects, and remain a stable married family, you are the enemy of the left and the patsy of the Rinos.

Sick Administration and a cancerous bureaucracy in Washington.

Half the country isn’t paying income tax now. Don’t give me the BS about leveling the playing field. High income people pay a huge percentage of the total income tax and this thieving Marxist pig just wants to take more of what they earn and have earned so he can buy more votes from the non productive.

Didn’t the IRS practically double their workforce in the Hussein years to enforce the Obamacare mandate? Since the mandate was never enforced, don’t those IRS auditors have a bunch of free time on their hands? Or are they too busy trying to shut down conservative groups?

I know the ruling elite (clinton, biden, soros, obama, bezos, gates) will not have to pay a cent. I know my taxes/expenses will be going up. I know he’s lying.

This is a massive DECEPTION.

The idea is to roll back Trump’s state/local deduction limits from the wealthy. They have been complaining about it to the Democrats since it was enacted.

This bill will actually LOWER taxes on the wealthy by allowing them to deduct all their state/local taxes from their federal.

“Outline a plan?? He can’t even color by numbers.”

Exactly right, nothing is “His”.

The idea that he has even two brain cells to rub to together of his own needs to be corrected across the board.

“leveling the playing field in our economy to bring down costs and ensure that the backbone of the country, the middle class, can finally get a break”

The middle class got a break thanks to Donald Trump. Now the middle and lower classes are being taxed by inflation.

These people are trying to ruin the economy, and they know it.

Since these upper class individuals are the same who own and run the MSM, the woke corproations the elite universities and live in elite lib cities it sounds like a good idea to me. The more we lowered the taxes for these wealthy persons the more left they become. This is not what I thought 20 years ago but as these people and times change so have I.
