Biden Plan Would Raise Taxes on Corporations and the Wealthy

It’s my goal to cut the federal debt even more by making big corporations and the very wealthy begin to pay their fair share. I’m not anticorporation. I represented the state of Delaware. More corporations incorporated in Delaware than every other state in America combined. Combined. But guess what? But I’m a capitalist, man. Make all the money you want. Just begin to pay your fair share, your taxes. I had a tax code that charged them [billionaires] 25 percent. Not the highest rate — 25 percent. You know how much that would raise over the next 10 years? $400 billion. [$400] billion a year. Imagine what we could do, from cutting the deficit to providing for child care, to providing health care, to continue to provide our military with all they need. So, folks, look, this is not beyond our capacity.
