Joe Biden entered the White House with the promise of selling off the richest Americans and paying huge sums of money in order to raise billions of dollars in cash off the U.S. financial system off Wall Street.
But as the Congress debate on Biden’s tax agenda comes to an end, prominent Presidential Democrats are trying to bring them down, announcing potential opportunities in the US economy and other wealthy families.
The drive to Capitol Hill due to Biden’s tax evasion comes at a time when lawmakers in the Democratic Republic of South Africa are playing a key role in boosting the President’s economy. Growth of $ 3.5tn of tuition fees, child care and green energy.
It is a stage where big lawmakers and their allies have to translate their aspirations into concrete words, with strong pressure from tourists and politicians at the White House and members of the Democratic Party.
This week, Richard Neal, a Massachusetts Democrat and chief taxman of the House of Representatives, unveiled a $ 2.9tn tax increase plan to support the $ 3.5tn Biden package, finally highlighting his intentions and details of what can be done professionally.
Neal’s theory includes the increase in personal income tax from 37% to 39.6%, but he still avoids paying more profitable taxes, which bring in more and more billions and billions of dollars.
Biden wants to add high income tax from 20% to 39.6%, which resulted in a special selection of wind turbines compared to the earnings. But Neal’s opinion could only increase by 25%.
Nor does Neal claim that the unpaid income tax exceeds $ 1m after his death, which the White House sponsors. And while his idea concerns the special taxes on “interest rates” – a major source of income for regulators of secret societies – they do not exclude.
“To be honest, this is a disgrace to management,” said James Lucier, a researcher at Capital Alpha Partners in Washington. “This avoids many of the things Wall Street has to worry about.”
White House officials have hailed Neal’s plan as a way to advance Biden’s political campaign without the support of Republicans and a handful of Democratic parties across Congress.
He says that while Biden has made another suggestion, tax lawmakers at the Democratic House are still achieving their goal of increasing corporate and American taxes on more than $ 400,000 a year.
In addition, many debates are still under way, both with the White House and Democrats in the Senate, where Ron Wyden of Oregon, a top-ranking taxpayer in the upper chamber, is moving ahead than Neal.
However, Biden’s tax reforms outlined in the House reflect the growing number of returnees among Democratic donors, tourists and those living in areas where they have not listened to the President in trying to tax them – in particular financial gain.
Many lawmakers in the Democratic Republic of New York, New Jersey, and California have been warning of a tax increase for the wealthy. They had previously been pressuring the White House to remove the trophy that Donald Trump retired from state taxes and that benefits the rich.
But vulnerable Democrats in key national governments also question Biden’s tax plans for fear of colluding with family businesses – including farms – and making it easier for Republicans to say the party is corrupt.
“Prominent and aspiring Democrat leaders are ready to increase tax increases, but the pursuit of unfulfilled wealth is not their main goal. It is not the battle they think is necessary to protect their seats. [in the 2022 midterm elections], ”Says Ben Koltun, chief research officer at Beacon Policy Advisors in Washington.
“They don’t want to take more drugs than they need to get the best,” he added.
Neal offered a 3% surtax proposal at a cost of over $ 5m, another way to deal with the overweight and fluttering the party’s progressive wings, but this still seems to be inadequate on the left.
“Neal’s policy fails to properly pay taxes and spreads wealth,” said Niko Lusiani, director of the corporate power at the Roosevelt Institute.
Lusiani said the failure to pay the taxes they receive upon death “is tantamount to restoring inequality, rebuilding restitution”, adding: “It maintains the same wealth that divides our wealth.”
Many generous legislators want a huge economic tax, even though Biden did not want to go too far.
On the corporate side, Neal failed to follow Wyden’s plan Friday, which could force another segment. to buy and large companies. House Democrats too he wants to raising corporate tax to 26.5% from 21%, down from the 28% expected by the White House.
But while there were differences between Biden’s views on several seats, Democrats did not expect Neal’s views to attract more Republicans or business groups.
Many protested in a press release this week, Neil Bradley of the US Chamber of Commerce said it was “a major threat to American economic recovery and future development”.
Some observers in Washington predict that taxes could be reduced beyond negotiations.
“The fact that Democrats have tried to over-regulate the tax system and acknowledge that politics is more than they can afford,” said Ken Spain, a Republican legal expert.
“Raising taxes has always been well-documented by some, but it is difficult to exercise regularly. As soon as people become aware of the consequences, they become firefighters. ”
