BIDEN "FIRST THING I WOULD DO AS PRESIDENT IS ELIMINATE THE PRESIDENT'S TAX CUT

Joe Biden said Monday that the first thing he’d do as president is “eliminate” the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: “First thing I would do as president is eliminate the president’s tax cut,” Biden said during the Poor People's Forum in Washington, D.C. on Monday. [Click here for video] Biden’s promise to repeal the tax cuts is a promise to raise taxes. If the tax cuts were repealed: A family of four earning the median income of $73,000 would see a $2,000 tax increase. A single parent (with one child) making $41,000 would see a $1,300 tax increase. Millions of low and middle-income households would be stuck paying the Obamacare individual mandate tax. Utility bills would go up in all 50 states as a direct result of the corporate income tax increase. Small employers will face a tax increase due to the repeal of the 20% deduction for small business income. The USA would have the highest corporate income tax rate in the developed world. Taxes would rise in every state and every congressional district. The Death Tax would ensnare more families and businesses. The AMT would snap back to hit millions of households. Millions of households would see their child tax credit cut in half. Millions of households would see their standard deduction cut in half, adding to their tax complexity as they are forced to itemize their deductions and deal with the shoebox full of receipts on top of the refrigerator. In Washington, D.C., where Joe Biden spoke, households with the median income of $82,372 received an average tax cut of around $1,990, according to a recent Tax Foundation report. As noted by the New York Times, thanks to the GOP tax cuts, “Most people got a tax cut.” The NYT also stated: “To a large degree, the gap between perception and reality on the tax cuts appears to flow from a sustained — and misleading — effort by liberal opponents of the law to brand it as a broad middle-class tax increase.” The Washington Post also stated: “Most Americans received a tax cut.” More examples of the benefits stemming from the tax cuts are shown in a recent H&R Block report, which states, “overall tax liability is down 24.9 percent on average.” In Biden’s home state of Delaware, the report found that residents received a 24.8% tax cut. In D.C. - where he made the threat to repeal the TCJA - residents received an 18.0% tax cut. Sky Pilot Radio http://www.skypilotradio.com
