Other View: Biden tax plan would pummel average Americans

President Joe Biden’s 2025 budget blueprint includes plans to increase corporate taxes, which could ultimately cost low- and middle-income Americans more money than if their income tax rates were raised. The budget calls for record spending, soaring debt, and trillion-dollar deficits, despite promises not to increase taxes on those earning less than 0,000 a year. The plan is similar to Sen. Bernie Sanders’ approach and aims to target corporations, but economists argue that corporations pass on tax costs to consumers, impacting employees and investors, including those with pension plans and retirement accounts. Republicans may use these economic realities in the upcoming campaign.
