President Joe Biden

“Now Trump is running again on the same failed trickle-down policies. Nothing has changed. Just a few months ago – at a closed-door event in Mar-a-Lago he told his billionaire donors ‘You’re rich as hell. We’re going to give you tax cuts.’ Folks, they laughed about it – not because they didn’t think it happened – but because they know it will happen.”

“No billionaire should pay a lower tax rate than a teacher, a sanitation worker, a nurse!”


— 


“Trump wants to get rid of [the Affordable Care Act] and as a consequence that would cost millions of American who lose coverage an average of $6,000 a year. And it would mean billionaires get a $3.5 Million tax cut."


“You heard that right – billionaires would EACH get a tax cut of $3.5 million EVERY YEAR! That’s 70 times what a typical family here in Scranton takes home in a year.”

“Under my plan, nobody earning less than $400,000 will pay an additional penny in federal taxes. Nobody. Not one penny. I want to cut taxes for hardworking folks here in Scranton and across the country.”
