Biden is considering a major federal tax increase

@jon-nyc said in Biden is considering a major federal tax increase:
He campaigned on it.
I'll grant you that it was a subject of discussion, but I'm not sure "he campaigned on it" is accurate.
In fact, I'm not sure he really campaigned on anything other than the fact that he is not Trump, LOL.
-
True that. But he talked openly about repeal of the 2018 corporate tax breaks and raising taxes on 400k+.

If those increases happen, we will quickly settle the debate about Presidents and their effects on the stock market.
Education is extremely important.

@horace I haven't really followed your debate with TG but it seems to me the debate can't be 'quickly' settled. No one is on the side of 'US president can't move markets in short term'. The debate is more about multiyear market trends, is it not?

I am sure one can handwave the idea that higher corporate taxes are better for the stock market in the long term, even in the face of an incontrovertible fact of the demonstrated short term effect.

He and Harris are doing a road show for that and an infrastructure bill this week.
Hard to argue against investing in infrastructure.

Yes, as long as that's what it for.
Will it be (cough) "Shovel Ready?"
I'm sorry to be so skeptical about this, but, does anyone really believe that any such program won't be filled with crap like the most recent COVID "relief" bill?

Trump begged for one. The Dems said no bueno.

Trump’s infrastructure plans were wishful thinking bullshit.
The 2018 infrastructure plan proposed that the federal government put up $200B but expect unnamed states, municipalities, and private sector partners to put up $1.5T for the plan to work. It’s essentially an unfunded PR piece, a gimmick.
In 2019 the Trump administration and the Democrats were talking about a $2T infrastructure plan but Trump himself cancelled the follow-up meeting after railing about Congress’ investigation of Trump.
In 2020 the White House talked about a $1T infrastructure “plan”, again without saying where the funding would come from, but never actually put out a plan — it was in the middle of the pandemic, and cut close to the election. Empty talk with no concrete plan, misplaced priorities against the COVID-19 pandemic, election year noise ... put the three together and you know it couldn’t be taken seriously.

An investigation on silly bullshit, that even the people pushing it knew it was bullshit.
You want to compromise and move the country forward? Blame that dumpster fire on Pelosi and Schumer,who put political power ahead of country.

Is part of the tax increase to fund the record number of immigrants coming in? It’s the highest in 20 years.
Rich people deserve to know where that money is going.

Nah, the money is for infrastructure. It only tangentially goes to Manual Labor.
