Biden's Campaign Strategy Revealed
Posted on 3/11/24 at 2:40 pm

$7.3 trillion budget proposal
Handouts for everybody, financial rape for those over $400k and corporations (passed straight through to customers...more inflation). Claims to reduce the deficit on the backs of the "rich".
Thankfully, this is dead on arrival.

There's no way the House goes along with that. Even RINOs would have problems keeping their seats after approving such ridiculousness.

He received a record amount of votes in 2020 without a campaign.

His proposed 25% taxes for billionaires is so stupid. It will only guarantee that we have no American Billionaires in the country... they will all move to another country.
Just pandering...

Price increases and inflation are not the same thing.
You are correct in that taxes are passed to the consumer resulting in higher prices, but that's not inflation.
Inflation is its own animal. You could actually have both - price increases to cover the cost of the increased tax burden AND whatever underlying inflationary pressure that exists in the market.

If inflation is a animal the taxes passed on down from corporate taxes and the likes is the doorman that gladly opens the doors for the animals

As always, the leftists will talk about taking it to billionaires and then propose targeting upper middle class families of the sort that fund the country already.

I would imagine the ACTUAL BILLIONAIRES in this country understand full well that it is. I bet most support him as well.

The tax is stupid for an even more obvious reason. Just because you are a billionaire doesn’t mean your income is that level. You can be a billionaire and have zero income. So what are you exactly taxing? Top 50% of earners already pay over 70% of the tax collected. The issue isn’t collection taxes we are taxed appropriately the issue is the USA has a spending problem. Until we make cuts and balance the budget they can get fricked on any new taxes.

Why wouldn't higher taxes be an underlying inflationary pressure? I understand it doesn't quite fit the supply/demand curve but it does essentially artificially inflate prices

Higher corporate taxes usually result in higher prices, but inflationary pressure isn't "anything that causes prices to go up." It's two different problems - inflation AND "other shite that causes prices to go up." My point isn't to nitpick semantics; I'm suggesting that they've already got one problem on their hands (inflation) and they are potentially going to make it worse.**
Inflation is due to demand (demand pull = price inflation). Essentially more dollars available to chase goods, resulting in a supply/demand imbalance reflected in the price (higher). Cost-push inflation is caused by cost increases on the inputs/materials, but taxes don't really fall under that. Same effect, but different cause.
Higher taxes on corporations that are simply passed onto the consumer in the form of price increases is just that.
Two different mechanisms/causes. Either can happen without the other or they can happen at the same time, one on top of the other.
**Taxes are actually an inflationary check because they reduce the money supply, resulting in fewer dollars chasing goods (reduced demand). It's more easily seen at the consumer level (higher taxes leave YOU less to spend; less to spend results in spending less; results in less demand; assuming stable supply, stable prices), but it can have effects at the corporate level too.
None of it is a straightline cause-->effect though. Economics is more like a blob - constant interaction between forces. Very reactive. All you really do is stabilize it in a way that smoothes it out and keeps it somewhat steady. Push too hard on anyone thing and the swings get volatile.
Example: Raise taxes on corporations and they pass it on to consumers in the form of a price increase. Well shite, inflation has already caused prices to increase and consumers are at their limit, so demand falls, which pushes back on that price increase.
What these idiots in office will probably do is fuel BOTH sides. Raise corporate taxes and cause consumer prices to increase while ALSO pumping "free" money to consumers so they'll gladly absorb the price increase. The cycle ends at some point - the money spigot runs dry or we keep printing our way into oblivion and the wheels fall off.

That is not how it works. It's this similar policy that is the reason for today's extraordinary inflation and Bidenomics shrinkflation.
Any new tax on the "rich" is going to be higher prices on the "poor". The increase in taxes is just another cost of goods charge that will be watered through the cost of goods and services that the rich provide.

Gotta get the poors riled up and to the polls. Politics is the best profession right?
