Biden’s tax plan isn’t socialism. It just undoes the GOP’s indefensible giveaways.

washingtonpost.com/opinions/biden…
Joe Biden has been pretty clear about where taxes on upper-income Americans and corporations are headed if he’s elected: up. Highlights of his plan include an increase in the top marginal rate, and a limit on deductions for those earning more than $400,000 per year;
an end to the favorable “step-up” treatment of inherited financial assets; an increase in the top corporate tax rate from 21 to 28 percent, with a minimum of 15 percent for large companies; and imposing Social Security taxes on wage income above $400,000.
Taken together, Mr. Biden’s plans would raise about $3.8 trillion over 10 years, with 72 percent of that coming from the top 1 percent of earners, according to an analysis by the Tax Foundation.
Contrary to much Republican rhetoric, Biden’s proposals represent not confiscatory socialism but an effort to undo the least defensible giveaways in the 2017 #GOPTaxScam passed by a GOP Congress and signed by Trump, while preserving parts of that law that broadened the tax base.
Biden added additional teeth — and complexity — to his corporate tax plans, targeting the perennial issue of “offshoring” of U.S. jobs by multinationals.
he specified that his proposed minimum tax on the foreign profits of U.S.-based companies would eliminate an automatic exclusion worth 10 percent of assets, and apply on a country-by-country basis, in effect making firms
pay more to the United States on what they earn in low-tax countries such as Ireland. In addition, he would apply a top corporate rate of 30.8 percent on earnings from products U.S. companies make abroad and sell in the United States —
coupled with a 10 percent tax credit for investments that reopen closed plants or “reshore” jobs from abroad.

Trump Admin protected businesses, not people.

Nursing homes are increasingly seeking to shield themselves from a raft of wrongful death lawsuits from the families of Covid-19 victims by invoking new liability protections they received from Trump Admin.

politico.com/news/2021/05/2…
About 200 lawsuits in nearly half the states have already been filed, and the industry says it’s bracing for many more in the coming months given the virus’ outsize toll on residents and staff.
But an emergency preparedness law expanded by Congress last year limiting health providers’ exposure to coronavirus-related lawsuits — and the Trump administration’s broad interpretation of those protections — are upending litigation against nursing homes.

175 Cowardly House Republicans chose not to "back the Blue" to investigate & hold those responsible for enlisting & inciting the Jan 6th attack.

We won't let them ever forget...neither will Americans & the world who watched in horror,
The Capitol Police aren't forgetting what happened.

Looks like Kevin McCarthy & Mitch McConnell are not "Backing the Blue" after all.

If those are not held accountable for enlisting & inciting January 6th attack...history will repeat itself.

Who/what are Kevin & Mitch covering up?

They're putting more lives in danger/harms way.

We must have a January 6th Commission @AlexPadilla4CA

Republican elected officials and political operators are simultaneously enabling his dangerous corruption and lining his pockets. The latest example of this took place last weekend as the Save America Summit hosted at Trump National Doral.
Women for America First, the dark money group that hosted the summit, was also behind Trump’s January 6th rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol.

Who knew?
