House Democrats are plotting a huge tax raid on the wealthy, businesses and investors to raise $2.9billion to cover the cost of President Joe Biden's domestic plans, leaked documents reveal.

The plans are a major rollback of Donald Trump's tax cuts and will see the corporate rate hiked from 21 per cent to 26.5 per cent according to the draft proposal circulating among Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee.

Democrats are also expected to propose a 3 per cent surtax on individual income above $5million, which alone will raise $127billion.

3 per cent surtax on individual income above $5million, which alone will raise $127billion.

Not sure where that number comes from at all...

Some people are so uninformed that they think they will not be hurt by high taxes on corporations or the supposedly rich. Those people are so willing to take other people’s money that they don’t see how they, themselves, can be affected. That is the essence of liberalism: Increase the power of government by taking advantage of public ignorance and selfishness.

Wonder how the Biden and Pelosi families feel about getting taxed. Or is their stated income $4.99 million so they’re exempt? But we all know they skate around it by any means necessary.

Those silly “House Democrats.” They won’t confiscate any money from the selfish rich or those demon big corps.

The corporations will build the increase into cost of their goods and services.

The individual incomes over 5 mill will be dumped into trusts or other corporate entities.

Us poor slobs that have no means to shelter or pass it on will pay the tab.....

This is what these woke businesses and millionaires wanted when they supported Biden.

Tax them at 100% for all I care. They wanted woke socialism, they should get it good and hard.
