President Joe Biden’s 2025 budget blueprint, if implemented, would result in record spending, soaring debt, trillion-dollar deficits, and higher taxes, particularly on corporations. Despite Biden’s promise not to increase taxes on those earning less than 0,000 a year, the proposed corporate tax hikes would ultimately impact all Americans, including middle-class families. The plan mirrors Bernie Sanders’ approach of targeting corporations, but experts argue that these taxes are ultimately passed on to consumers, employees, and investors, including those with pension plans and retirement accounts. Republicans may use these economic realities to challenge Biden’s proposals in the upcoming campaign.

The 2017 tax cuts resulted in benefits for working people, including lower unemployment rates and increased wages. Increasing the corporate tax rate would also lead to higher taxes on pensions and retirement savings for many Americans. Experts agree that raising the corporate tax rate is the most economically harmful tax increase, hurting investment, growth, productivity, workers, consumers, and savers.
