President Joe Biden is campaigning on tax hikes on the wealthy and corporations of the kind that he has mostly failed to implement thus far.
Biden will make stops on Tuesday in his home state of Pennsylvania, where he will use the opportunity to contrast his tax policy vision with that of his opponent, former President Donald Trump. Biden has advocated higher taxes, although he has said his proposals wouldn’t raise taxes for anyone earning less than $400,000 annually.
“Starting tomorrow in Scranton, the day after Tax Day, the president will outline how Trump’s tax plan is a handout to the rich and leaves the middle class holding the bag,” Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler said on a call with reporters ahead of the trip.
Some of Biden’s biggest tax proposals have failed, thanks to opposition from Republicans and members of his own party. Here is a look at the tax policies Biden has pushed for and those that have made it through.
