The winner of November’s presidential election will face a challenge with the expiration of nearly trillion in tax cuts next year. Biden’s White House is highlighting the issue and emphasizing differences with Republicans over taxes. Biden wants to raise taxes on corporations and the ultra-wealthy to support the middle class. Trump argues that tax increases would harm the economy. The 2017 tax cuts failed to deliver the promised growth. Biden wants to extend middle-class tax cuts while raising taxes on profitable companies and the richest Americans. Trump believes growth comes from choices made by companies and wealthy investors, while Biden believes it comes from spending and saving by middle-class households. Extending all of Trump’s tax cuts would add .6 trillion to budget deficits through 2034. Biden’s plan does not include the cost of extending tax cuts for those making under 0,000. Republicans may need to consider spending cuts to address the higher debt load from extending tax cuts.
