As President Joe Biden visited Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, he called for an increase in taxes on the rich.

“When I look at the economy, I don’t look at it through the eyes of Mar-a-Lago,” Biden said during his speech. “I look at it through the eyes of Scranton.”

Biden explained that he wanted to make the tax code fair, in order to allow regular American citizens to keep more money in their pockets.

In an attempt to make the tax code fairer, Biden suggested a 25% minimum tax rate for billionaires, while slamming former President Donald Trump for being a billionaire.

Which really means soaking the middle class.

I got a mailer saying the tax writers are pushing eliminating the current law that allows a decedents property to revert to market at his death ,leaving the cost basis at what it was. That would have a big negative impact on farms and businesses people built up over a lifetime to leave their heirs.

You can be sure that any Biden “tax on the rich” will exempt Regime billionaires in Tech, Wall Street and Pharma.

THE RICH PAY MORE WHEN TAXES ARE CUT, AND LOOPHOLES CLOSED.
