Joe Biden: Tax Tyrant, Tax Cheat, Tax HypocriteIssues & Insights, Sep 27, 2021
If there were any doubts that the Democrats are closeted authoritarians who sometimes crack the door and reveal their urge to rule like autocrats, all should have been removed last week when President Joe Biden yapped about federal tax policy.
“I’m running to change the dynamic of how the economy grows,” he said. “I’m tired of trickle-down. Trillionaires and billionaires are doing very, very well.”
First, as has been noted elsewhere, there are no trillionaires in the U.S. It shouldn’t be too much to ask a U.S president to know this, but Biden, afflicted with a sharp cognitive decline and a long history of wild embellishment, is no normal president.
Second, it’s not up to Biden to change the “dynamic” of how the economy grows. That’s not his job. An economy grows organically, through the spontaneous, non-coerced actions of free people. Central planners cannot command an economy to expand. Biden was elected to be the CEO of the federal government, and to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution, not to carry out his personal preferences.
Furthermore, Biden has neither the moral nor constitutional license to meddle in private affairs and employ authoritarian means to abolish something simply because he’s tired of it. He is not a king whose whims are law.

So he continued, later saying that it’s necessary to hire more IRS agents, “not to try to make people pay something they don’t owe,” but to “just say, ‘Hey, step up. Step up and pay like everybody else does.’”
“I just think it’s about just paying your fair share, for Lord’s sake,” he said.
This from a wealthy career “public servant” who reportedly owes up to $500,000 to Washington in unpaid taxes, because he might have “improperly avoided paying Medicare taxes before he took office,” based on the findings of a Congressional Research Service report, says Fox News.
