Joe Biden’s promise to not raise taxes on the middle class was a lie, and now, even Democrats are saying no to his bloated tax plan.
Reuters reports: “Senior Democrats said on Sunday that they will likely need to scale back President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion social spending bill while passage of the linked bipartisan infrastructure bill may slip past a Sept. 27 deadline.”
Breitbart reports:
Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) added Democrats are lost in a maze of complicated congressional procedures, and no one knows “where this [package] is gonna go.” Phillips also told Politico he holds the Democrat leadership responsible for the mess.
“None of us know where this is gonna go,” Phillips said. “This is where leadership is made or broken, plain and simple. And that’s true of the president, that’s true of speakers, that’s true of majority leaders.”
…Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) told Politico he is “tired” of the bad Democrat leadership.
“I am very tired of it,” said Bowman. “I don’t think they are making their decisions based on the needs of the American or even the people in their own state.” He added that they seem more motivated by “corporate interest.”
There’s good reason for the hesitancy. The Biden plan would:
- Raise taxes on Americans making more than $50,000
- Raise taxes on pass-through entities, hurting small businesses
- Raise the corporate tax rate to higher than Communist China’s
- Create a massive slush fund for the IRS to hunt down ordinary Americans
- Raise capital gains taxes and kill investments
Does that sound like “build back better” to you? Or does it sound like a massive and punishing attack on the middle class?
