Apparently Joe Biden’s decided that it’s time to pander so with that being said, let’s talk about his latest shtick.

Michael Collins with USA Today writes:

“Wealthy Americans will pay higher taxes under the proposed budget that President Joe Biden will send to Congress on Thursday, but Biden says he will keep his promise not to raise taxes on middle-class Americans.

“I want to make it clear: I’m going to raise some taxes,” Biden said during a trip to Virginia Beach, Va., last week.

However, people making less than $400,000 a year “will not pay an additional single penny in any tax,” he said.

The budget blueprint will be the first that Biden has submitted to the Republican-controlled House, which is unlikely to go along with his proposal to raise some taxes. Congress is in charge of writing the federal budget, and Biden’s spending plan will become the starting point for negotiations between lawmakers and the White House…”

Politicians are just so lazy, aren’t they?

Oh, and we can’t forget just how much nerve they have, too.

Joe Biden has no actual interest in raising taxes, and we all know it. At least, not…
