ECONOMY/JOE BIDEN/TAXES: “The idea that we have a tax rate for corporate America at 21 percent is ridiculous. It should be at 28 percent. That would raise almost $800 billion a year.
The idea that we have companies not paying anything at all, they should have a minimum tax of 15 percent. That would raise another $740 billion a year…
We should be rewarding work, not just wealth. And the American people, the middle class is getting killed, and the poor have no way up.”
-Joe Biden as quoted by NBC News, “Full transcript: Ninth Democratic debate in Las Vegas,” nbcnews.com, Feb. 19, 2020
