evidence: Biden proposes to raise corporate rates from 21 percent to 28 percent — still below the 35 percent rate Trump’s 2017 law cut it from — and preserve the Trump-era tax cuts for individuals earning less than $400,000, including a higher standard deduction. [...] "This is going be a big debate we’re going to have, I’m sure through the election, because President Biden wants to raise everybody’s taxes," Rep. Steve Scalise (La.), the No. 2 Republican in the House, told The Washington Post. "He tries to act like it’s not going to affect certain people, but when you raise taxes, it hits everybody, especially low-income families. Look at what his energy policies have done. The people hit the hardest are low-income families paying higher gas prices, paying more at the grocery store and more for their household electricity bills all because of bad Biden policies." [...] Democrats are split on what to do with the revenue their proposed tax increases would generate. Previous Biden-era investments covered a broad swath of programs, from child care to internet access and housing support. Many of those programs have since expired, and with divided control of Congress, they have little chance of being reinstated. Biden’s budget, a largely symbolic reelection blueprint, called for new federal spending to lower consumer costs for health care, child care and housing.
