Biden Unveils New Details Of $2.2T Infrastructure Plan | Morning Joe | MSNBC

66 comments

    1. Joe Biden’s radical plan to implement the largest tax hike in American history is a massive giveaway to China, and many other countries, that will send thousands of factories, millions of jobs, and trillions of dollars to these competitive Nations. The Biden plan will crush American workers and decimate U.S. manufacturing, while giving special tax privileges to outsourcers, foreign and giant multinational corporations.

      Biden promised to “build back better”—but the country he is building up, in particular, is China and other large segments of the world. Under the Biden Administration, America is once again losing the economic war with China—and Biden’s ludicrous multi-trillion dollar tax hike is a strategy for total economic surrender. Sacrificing good paying American jobs is the last thing our citizens need as our country recovers from the effects of the Global Pandemic.

      Biden’s policy would break the back of the American Worker with among the highest business tax rates in the developed world. Under Biden’s plan, if you create jobs in America, and hire American workers, you will pay MORE in taxes—but if you close down your factories in Ohio and Michigan, fire U.S. workers, and move all your production to Beijing and Shanghai, you will pay LESS. It is the exact OPPOSITE of putting America First—it is putting America LAST!

      Companies that send American jobs to China should not be rewarded by Joe Biden’s Tax Bill, they should be punished so that they keep those jobs right here in America, where they belong.

      This legislation would be among the largest self-inflicted economic wounds in history. If this monstrosity is allowed to pass, the result will be more Americans out of work, more families shattered, more factories abandoned, more industries wrecked, and more Main Streets boarded up and closed down—just like it was before I took over the presidency 4 years ago. I then set record low unemployment, with 160 million people working.

      This tax hike is a classic globalist betrayal by Joe Biden and his friends: the lobbyists will win, the special interests will win, China will win, the Washington politicians and government bureaucrats will win—but hardworking American families will lose.

      Joe Biden’s cruel and heartless attack on the American Dream must never be allowed to become Federal law. Just like our southern border went from best to worst, and is now in shambles, our economy will be destroyed!

    2. @HS The republican party wants China to Capitalize on Green Energy jobs and leave America behind in low paying hospitality and low paying service jobs! The republican party loves to outsource America jobs to China! Bush still holds the record for outsourcing over 2 million jobs! Bush and the Republican party even rewarded Corporations with tax cuts if they outsourced American jobs!

      American Civil Engineers have given America’s infrastructure a grade level of C -. Our bridges are falling apart our electrical grid needs to be updated. America use to do big things like build the Golden Gate bridge, the Hoover Dam, and national highway!

    3. @HS Trump and the Republican party gave Billionaires Trillion dollar tax cuts which added Trillions of dollars to our debt! Tell me what other industrialized countries in the world gives Billionaires Trillion dollar tax cuts/Corporate Welfare?🤔

    4. @Paul Crozer I don’t know what the Republican party wants to do….they are not the Government.

      I only see what Biden IS doing.

    5. @Richard Batchelder it’s your problem anymore, I paid my taxes as a good citizen! I pity on you

  1. When a 70 year old retired school teacher pays more in taxes than Amazon, the President and his business dealings there is something extremely wrong with our Country’s tax system.

    1. @Corey Ham as I’ve pointed out many times. Twizzlefuck just did the old switcheroo trick.

      Increasing the deficit to give the fabricated illusion that the US Economy was running on eight cylinders!

    3. @HS When I listened about no tax increase for people under $400 K, i’m reminded of the promises that we heard about being able to keep our insurance and keep our doctor. I’m also reminded about what the MIT professor Gruber told President Obama about Americans being stupid if we thought that somebody else was going to pay for healthcare.
      All we need to do is basic mathematics to determine that the only way we could pay for this massive tax increase is just confiscate all of the money of people making $40OK and above.

    4. @HS Since when does the republican party care about the working class Americans? They have the lowest paying jobs in America! Who benefits from this regressive policy? Corporate America not the working class Americans! The republican party hates the middle class they only want a two class society, the rich and the poor!

      Moscow Mitch blocked a raise in the minimum wage under Obama and Trump while Corporate America is making profits. This is now the first time in U.S. history the Federal minimum wage hasn’t gone up in a decade! Perhaps you gullible cons will love to work for peanuts when Moscow Mitch gets rid of the minimum wage?🤔🤣🤣😂😂

  2. We do not need to raise corporate taxes. We just need to abolish ALL of the corporate deductions. The American taxpayer should not be subsidizing poor business decisions. This would generate more income than raising the tax rate. Also, businesses need to be taxed on the figures they present to their boards, stock holders, and lenders.

    1. @T. R. Campbell You seem like a nice guy. I think that you mean well. However, I’m concerned about a system that gives corporations and rich individuals tax breaks in excess (Trump paid $750 in taxes, Jeff Bezos pays none?) but then goes bananas because Biden wants to raise the minimum wage. All of those assets that your wife is protecting is coming on the backs of those people and those tax breaks that Trump ushered in. Btw, no one gives Obama credit for walking into the mess that Bush left and setting the stage for Trump. Oh, and I own a P&C insurance agency. I was Series 7 licensed in the past and helped wealthy people dodge taxes through vehicles like Charitable Remainder Trusts. I know how the system works. Unfortunately, there are no such tax avoidance measures like that for most of the middle class.Why not close the loopholes that allow companies and individuals to shelter those dollars and use them to fix potholes and create jobs? How many cars, houses and yachts do these people need to own? Would that be a mistake? But it seems easier (and more profitable) to simply deny certain people the right to vote.

      I’m sorry. I got a little carried away and you don’t deserve it. But the last few months have been an example of a lot of heavy things.

    2. @Richard Horton I am a nice woman and not a guy. We talk about loopholes but there are no loopholes. These are all tax laws voted by Congress. The rules and regulations have been formulated by various IRS components over the years.
      We should have learned over the Obama administration that if draconian and measures are employed to take hard-earned money away from people or corporations that earned it. These people and corporations will take their money and flee. We saw that during the Obama administration win money and jobs and investment lead the country. On a smaller level when you see this in some states such as New York state in New York City, California where people and corporations are leaving in droves because of high taxes. Excessive regulations are also an issue.
      Trump understood this and enacted our iconic JFK tax plan the supercharge the economy back then and super charge the economy most recently up until the time that COVID-19 ravaged the worlds economy and killed millions of people.
      We need to understand that we cannot tax ourselves into prosperity.

    3. @T. R. Campbell Unnecessary spending? Are you aware Trump and the Republican party gave Billionaires Trillion dollar tax cuts which added Trillions of dollars to our debt?🤔This is why the Republican party wanted to give less stimulus money for millions of working class Americans! Republicans complain about the deficit when they’re out of office. When they’re in power they spend like drunken sailors!

    4. @Paul Crozer yes, so what is your point. Should we then turn right around and spend trillions? It’s like three rolls standing on a playground and saying, “well, well, well, we can spend that amount because little Donnie over there did..” When are we going to grow up and learn that we cannot attach our way to prosperity.

    5. @T. R. Campbell Millions of good paying Union jobs will create millions of additional tax payers! Millions of low paying hospitality and low paying service jobs don’t get you much in tax revenues.

  3. A bill endorsed by members of the 2 parties shouldn’t be the threshold of bipartisanship. A bipartisan bill should be one that the majority of Americans with different party affiliation approve.

    1. @Paul Crozer Sir, did you actually read the bill. Only a fraction actually goes to the American people.🤣👍🏻 Read what’s one the bill before you come here to lecture that it’s “to put millions back to work”.

    2. @Paul Crozer Not every state is the same and can substain high wages. High wages means more inflation.

    3. @Paul Crozer If these policies actually work, why are a lot of people in California leaving to Republicans states like Texas and Nevada. Even Corolado before it got infected by Democrats.🤣

    4. @高橋あみや The last time wages kept up with inflation was before 1980! You could thank Ronald Reagan and the Republican party for giving millions of illegal immigrants Amnesty all for cheaper wages in America! This is why the southern red Republican states has the lowest paying jobs in America! This destroyed the middle-class an Unions! The past 40 years most of the income has gone to the top 1%. Corporate America can raise their prices anytime they want to an they usally do! I guess you never heard of Corporate Greed before?🤔

    5. @高橋あみや I belong to the Teamsters local 786. Collective Bargaining thanks to the Teamsters gives me the power to negotiate with my employer a raise in my pay. If my employer or company is making profits then my pay goes up! If no profits are made then I don’t get a raise in my pay. Why let all the profits go to your employer/company when it’s the employees who are making them rich?🤔

  4. This is where we will find out who is for the people or who is for themselves. We need Term Limits at the House and especially the Senate. But yet, tax breaks for the wealthy are ok. Yeah sure. SMH.

  5. We could probably pay for this by simply removing outside military contractors overseas. Replace them with enlisted military if they are necessary. Evaluate military and government spending.

    1. jerome! i agree! i don’t like the way they have let privatized contractors take the jobs from our military!

  6. I’m hesitant to raise taxes right now. Better to close loopholes and go after individuals and entities that are hiding their money offshore.

    1. @Mastodon1976 Go and be a martyr for U.S. business and see what you get—a minimum wage life and the cheapest possible hole in the ground.

    2. @fancy ma The reason why Trump tried to promise a middle class tax cut just weeks before the midterms? Trump and the Republican party knows the majority of American people doesn’t support giving Billionaires Trillion dollar tax cuts. Trump is the first President in U.S. history to lose the House of representatives in the midterms with a record low unemployment rate. The biggest issue concerning the majority of Americans in the midterms was Healthcare not the economy.

    3. @Paul Crozer Trump promised that as a campaign tactic.. idk how you’re not able to see that. Lol, and his unemployment rate was NOT record low, in fact it was one of the highest yet..

  7. I think most conservatives and libertarians too, have observed and felt by now, how our mode of low, working and middle class income households paying their taxes just for those investments to get gobbled up in one way or another by megacorps that don’t contrinute a single dime – isn’t sustainable anymore. And certainly notin any way fair. And they don’t spend their winnings on investing in their workers, decent wages, their communities – there’s nothing in it for anyone but their shareholders, and 8-9-figure-salary corporate chonkers.

  8. Hope it includes job training for current and future openings especially for those underrepresented in the trades, science & technology.

    1. @Juan Perez I hope you are joking. You know sports players are selected based on perceived talent by the coaches of the team. The NBA and NFL don’t care what color their players are as long as they get butts in seats and views on cable. Now if you want to speak about management positions than that is much longer conversation that is still under represented across all demographics.

  9. I’m interested to see the details of the plan. That’s what will determine how effective this will be.

    1. @Dawn Fulk no it won’t flop. The economy will soar, you’ll get richer, and you tax will pay for itself. Please shut up.

    2. @Anon Nympho Dude wish I could like this reply more than once! 🎯🎯💯👍Put him in his place. You speak super FACTS!!

    3. simple “take from the rich and give to the poor” the socialist plans that have destroyed many great countries like Cuba, Venezuela ect.

    4. @Dawn Fulk More crazy right wing unproven conspiracy theories is the best you got?🤔Trump and the Republican party loves Socialism for the rich! They gave Billionaires Trillion dollar tax cuts which added Trillions of dollars to our debt! Tell me what other industrialized countries in the world gives Billionaires Trillion dollar tax cuts/Corporate Welfare?🤔I’m waiting.

    5. @Dawn Fulk The states will get to decide on what to spend the money on not the federal government. If I know these crafty politicians they will be making sure their donors projects get earmarked in the bill.

    1. You could thank the republican party for that. Trump and the Republican party gave Billionaires Trillion dollar tax cuts which added Trillions of dollars to our debt!

    2. @Reid Earl All of Trump’s top officials got Covid-19 at a rose garden event at the WH. None of them were wearing a mask. Ignorance is a bliss when your Trump an the republican party! I like how Republicans claim to be Pro-Life yet they refuse to wear a mask?🤔Hypocrisy is the best thing the Republican party has to offer the American people?🤔

  10. Depending on one stream of income had never made any millionaire and earning check don’t put you on forbes

    2. @HS Bubba Bobby our economy was already destroyed before Biden came into office! Record job loss under Trump! Trump promised infrastructure jobs and Healthcare what happened?🤔

      The republican party wants China to Capitalize on Green Energy jobs and leave America behind in low paying hospitality and low paying service jobs. The southern red Republican states has the lowest paying jobs in America!

    1998 China started the construction of 36,000km of high speed railways and high speed trains.
    2021 US still has NO high speed railway and NO high speed trains.

    1. China will never pay off its infrastructure debt. Chinese officials believe it is in the country’s best interest to spend trillions in infrastructure. When all is said and done, China will probably be devastated by this upcoming financial crisis. But, again, Congress continues to throw money out the door by giving it to nonprofits, which should be independent of government funding. I say tax nonprofits and religious organizations, these powerful entities are raking in the dough as American consumers are wallowing in financial despair.

  13. This is your biggest news social security and DMV offices need to be open especially in oregon.people in social security offices are working from home where the he’ll is all of that private information going homes are not secure as in office social security offices.this is insane.
