From the Guardian: Joe Biden Taxes Corporations Richest Americans
Excerpt:
The free-ride is over guyz-'n-galz. And, it's been a lonnnnng wait! But, it's time to pay your fair share.
Since when? Since Reckless-Ronnie-RAYGUN zapped us yokels to pay a larger share of the Federal budget by lowering Upper-income Taxation. His 1981 Business Deductions also helped to enrich their Net Worth even further.
All that illicit money gone to the rich and super-rich so they could leave it to their "kids" (to play-with).
What a waste of Taxable Income that could be employed to enhance generally America's standard-of-living. Whazzat?
Like this!
(1) A national-healthcare-plan that drops quickly upper-income costs of doctors and healthcare-in-general for everybody. (Uncel Sam's is the most expensive health-care in the developed world!) And,
(2) Free- or Nearly-free post-secondary education that prepares our young for this Brave New World of Services Industries that require a much higher level of education. Regardless of one's level of education, there should be free (or nearly free) post-secondary schooling available to learn any trade or simply go on to degree-related schooling. And not all states need the same post-secondary education-plan - if national in nature, the cost of the schooling can be assumed by Federal-spending and open to all comers.
My Point: Both of the above are necessities throughout the country - in some places more than others. But all states should be allowed to pursue the same objectives as stated above. The Federal government must assume the cost - as it does for the DoD!
The post-secondary education-costs in the US are legendarily expensive - they are far, far too much and thusly an effective barrier against learning ... !

Joe Biden said it is time for corporations and the richest Americans to “start paying their fair share” of taxes as he hit the road on Monday in a concerted effort to promote his administration’s huge new infrastructure and welfare spending plans totaling about $4tn.
Speaking at a community college in Norfolk, Virginia, on Monday afternoon, the US president made the case for increasing taxes on the wealthiest in the US in order to help fund his ambitious $1.8tn American Families Plan and $2tn infrastructure plan.

The packages would provide funds for childcare and free universal pre-school education facilities, as well as massive programs to rebuild America’s crumbling transport systems and public-sector housing in ways that also contributes to government action on the climate crisis.
