Biden is turning the American dream of retirement into a nightmare

President Biden is proposing a tax hike on savings, including a 45% tax on capital gains, which would negatively impact retirement savings for millions of Americans. Biden’s proposed tax increases on investment are driven by the government’s addiction to spending, with a proposed federal budget of .3 trillion and .9 trillion in future tax hikes.

Biden’s policies are seen as detrimental to individuals and the economy, as they will hinder investment and economic growth.
