Here’s How Democrats Plan To Hike Taxes To Pay For Their $3.5 Trillion Budget

House Democrats will consider nearly $3 trillion in tax hikes over the next decade in an attempt to pay for their $3.5 trillion budget that includes most of President Joe Biden’s domestic agenda and would overhaul the nation’s social safety net.

The hikes are predominantly focused on wealthy Americans and large corporations. Among the increases is a top income tax bracket of 39.6%, up from 37%, which Democrats say would raise $170 billion in revenue over the next decade.

A summary of the proposals leaked Sunday, and was first reported by The Washington Post.

Democrats want to raise approximately $1.9 trillion from corporations and wealthy Americans, which the White House has described as individuals earning at least $400,000. The plan draws a similar line, but includes households earning at least $425,000 and married couples earning $450,000.
