Biden planning first major tax hike in almost 30 years

The Hill-

 Biden is reportedly planning the first major hike in federal taxes in almost 30 years to fund the economic program set to follow the recently approved $1.9 trillion pandemic stimulus package.

Unidentified sources told Bloomberg that the increases will reflect the promises Biden made during his 2020 campaign.

The planned increases reportedly include: raising the corporate tax from 21 percent to 28 percent; increasing the income tax rate on people making more than $400,000; expanding the estate tax; paring back tax preferences on pass-through businesses such as limited-liability companies; and setting up a higher capital gains tax rate for individuals making at least $1 million.

The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment. 

As Bloomberg notes, an independent analysis of the Biden campaign’s tax plan conducted by the Tax Policy Center found that it would raise around $2.1 trillion over 10 years. read more

  1. Let’s shutdown the economy even more than it has been by raising taxes.

    Biden isn’t doing this. He probably isn’t going to the washroom without being told to go.

  2. When all of this hits i.e. inflation, interest rates, taxes, go head down, butt up, DIG DIG DIG for cover.

    Don’t be lulled into complacency by short term DJIA.

  3. Fritz – add in the escalating State and Federal pension crisis for good measure (retiring Boomers) and then the coming Medicaid crisis (with Biden’s open borders) and then, finally, the Medicare debacle down the road for all the sick and dying Boomers (plus COVID VAX diseases)…

    …head for the hills and plant potatoes!

  4. Government borrowing and spending goes into the economy and provides the fuel that runs it, taxes take money back out of it so that we don’t end up with massive inflation caused by an ever increasing money supply without a corresponding increase of goods and services to keep the money evenly valued.
