Former President Donald Trump said Thursday during a meeting with top CEOs in Washington, DC, that he wanted to slash the corporate tax rate to 20% — hours after discussing trade and other policies with Republicans on Capitol Hill. The presumptive 2024 Republican nominee held a private meeting with 80 executives to pitch the rate … Read more
Tax Policy The differences in proposed tax policy between the presumptive presidential candidates, at this point, in the two main parties — President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump — are vast, according to Garrett Watson, senior policy analyst with Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan tax policy think tank. “The differences between what (the candidates) … Read more
President Biden posted on social media that he plans to let the individual provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act expire at the end of 2025, leading to criticism and accusations of tax hikes for all. However, Biden’s budget includes ways to revise the TCJA without raising taxes for all households, potentially cutting taxes for some and raising them for others. Biden has promised not to raise taxes for those making 0,000 or less, but it remains unclear if this includes corporate taxes. Biden’s plan to revise the TCJA while retaining some key features has led to debates on whether he is scrapping the law or simply rewriting parts of it. The tax law is constantly evolving, and major changes are not binary exercises, with some provisions surviving while others are remade. Biden’s plan to let the TCJA expire in name is seen as an attempt to move away from Trump’s tax policies, which were unpopular with the public.
Larry Kudlow asserted that President Biden’s tax policies are part of “racial warfare against white folks” and criticized the push for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives. Biden’s proposed tax policies include raising the capital gains tax, which Kudlow believes unfairly targets white people who disproportionately hold assets. Kudlow argued that these policies are antithetical to traditional American values and will harm the economy. Biden has also proposed a 25 percent minimum income tax on those worth at least 0 million and raising the corporate tax rate.
President Biden proposed to reverse the 2017 Trump tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans by raising the corporate tax rate, denying tax breaks for corporations whose CEOs earn more than million in annual compensation, and requiring billionaires to pay at least 25 percent of their income in taxes. California faces a billion budget deficit and has a regressive tax system, with the lowest income earners paying the largest share of taxes. State and local governments can take action to ensure the ultra-wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share by ending tax breaks, increasing the corporate tax rate, and implementing a wealth tax on extreme wealth. Governor Newsom opposes the wealth tax, but public pressure is building with a majority of California voters supporting the idea.
The US government intends to focus on taxing business aircraft, but it is inappropriate to characterize large corporations and high-net-worth individuals who use business aircraft as “flying under the radar with their tax responsibilities.” The IRS plans to increase audits of business aircraft usage, which could be costly and disruptive for affected companies. A letter from six senators supported the IRS audit initiative and requested an increase in the rate at which income is imputed to executives for their personal flights on company aircraft. President Joe Biden’s budget proposes lengthening the depreciation life of business aircraft and increasing the fuel tax rate on jet fuel used by business aircraft, both of which would increase taxes with respect to business aircraft.

Donald Trump is blaming migrants in the U.S. illegally for fueling violent crime as part of his campaign to win back the White House, repeating rhetoric used during his previous run for the presidency. Studies show immigrants are not more likely to engage in criminality.
