We are drowning in debt.

We cannot continue to pass that debt to our future generations.

Freebies cost money! Only one way to fund our lazy, un respecting youth and that’s to raise taxes. No way around it.

Agree. No prebates. Everyone pays the VAT tax from penny one of their spending on retail goods and services.

Corporate Taxes-Biden would increase from 21% to 28%. The previous reduction was to be competitive with other countries. Our previous 35% was driving companies offshore.

Capital gains and dividends from 23.8% to 43.4%. They will pay higher taxes than earned income, discouraging investment. It removes the lower rate and keeps the 3.8% Obamacare tax.

Small business taxes-raise from 29.6 to 39.6%.

Income and payroll taxes-raise top rate from 37 to 39.6%. Add a 12.4% payroll tax on incomes over $400,000, so a top rate of 52%.
With open borders, the money to support all the economic immigrants will have to come from somewhere. Isn't this what one would expect under socialism? Break the economy, and the government takes over everything, and we become the slaves unless we can get out, which most of those businesses they are going to tax to death will be doing, getting out. Private business is a no-no, especially small business which I am watching being choked by the "COVID 19" response which allows big box open and everyone else going under. Those that work and earn will be sharing with those that sit in the basement and play video games 24/7.

Small businesses are currently under fire, some literally.

For the second stimulus package, the Democrats want to spend 3.4 trillion, the Republican package is 1 trillion. So whos spending like a drunken sailor here?

~55% of Americans pay NO net federal income tax....yep, its now more than 1/2 ofus are takers...not makers.

I am for making the 55% pay something, and leaving the rates for the top 45%, who are like Atlas carrying the World in his back, alone.

Every wage earning American should be paying something in federal income taxes.

Somehow, I don't think this is what Joe Biden has in mind.

Has ANYONE seen Joe Biden's 2021 proposed budget? If he does jack taxes, where wil the money go exactly?

I want to see precise numbers, not wide platitudes. Trump's budget is out there for all to see.

Go and preach your nonsense to the Soy Boys. They are the only ones that might agree with you.
I wouldn't make fun of those Soy Boys because they may be rioting in your town soon.

LMAO

Republican "fiscal conservatism" logic at its finest.

This is a tombstone quote if I ever heard one.

They've already tried once. They saw the homeowners with shotguns, grabbed their skateboards, and headed back to California.

If you aren't making $400,000 a year, I wouldn't worry about it. If you are, you should be willing to help the country out that made your income possible.
