After remarking he was going to raise taxes, Biden signaled any tax hikes would only apply to the richest Americans, saying: “Many of you billionaires out there—you’re going to stop paying 3%.”

Biden voiced support for a new billionaire tax in his State of the Union address earlier this month, though he did not lay out specifics of a tax plan.

សាវតាសំខាន់

Democrats have promoted a new tax on billionaires for years, but pushback from Republicans and centrists like Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has kept the idea from becoming law. Biden’s renewed push faces even longer odds than earlier efforts, since Republicans now have control of the House of Representatives and have expressed no interest in the tax. A White House plan last year called for a 20% minimum tax rate for those making more than $100 million a year.
