Last week, Katie Bauerlin wrote a letter to the editor critical of Biden’s tax plan and asked where the money is coming from.
Joe Biden’s higher taxes hit mostly the top 0.7 percent. They are the ones that own the majority of the wealth in our country. The vast majority of the population will not see any tax increase.
The bottom 95 percent would see no change in their tax billing in 2022.
Just 0.3 percent or fewer people in our state will see a tax increase.
If you are one of the lucky ones in the top 0.7 percent, congratulations and thanks. Maybe I can soon be driving without the fear of hitting a puddle of water and losing my frontend because of a hidden pothole.
This infrastructure bill is for the good of everyone, not like the other so called bailouts, the sort of socialism that favors the wealthy rather than workers.
And in reference to Katie’s quote of Adrian Rogers in 1931 about the poor, I’m sure that FDR’s quote, I’m going to save us all during the depression meant more to the people than Rogers’ quote.
They needed help immediately, not in some distant future.
A good example is in the lyrics of “Song of the South”:
Papa got a job with the TVA
He bought a washin’ machine and then a Chevrolet
There are a lot of poor people in our country, and mostly because of other people’s greed.
Biden’s bill, if passed, will close the inequality income gap that is desperately needed.
