No one making less than $400,000 a year would see their taxes go up under the plan. Instead, Ms. Harris is seeking to significantly raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and large corporations. Congress has previously rejected many of these tax ideas, even when Democrats controlled both chambers.
Strong disagree… it’s a problem because we need our taxes to go up so that we can actually fund public services without going into deeper debt. I’m cool with everyone under 80k not seeing a tax increase but the rest of us are paying unrealistically low taxes.
I’d like to see people making 50k and under pay 0 in tax, but still get tax breaks in the form of refunds, and have those who make 400k+ and businesses make up the entirety of the lack. (Assuming we can’t do UBI for whatever conservative bullshit reason)
It’s much easier to do that way than the way we are doing it now with taking from people who have next to nothing to spare…
Depends on where those taxes are used. I really hate how much goes to our military instead of social services.
That is a quite fair concern, especially given what our military tends to do with that money.
Federal taxes do not fuel government spending.
