President Joe Biden on Wednesday defended raising the corporate tax rate to help pay for his infrastructure plan, saying he’s “sick and tired of ordinary people being fleeced.”
Biden slammed former President Donald Trump’s corporate tax rate cuts, which he said mostly benefited the ultra-wealthy.
“I didn’t hear anybody hollering in this recovery, so-called, before I became president, this k-shaped recovery. … Where is the outrage there?” Biden said in a White House speech. “I’m not trying to punish anybody. But damn it, maybe it’s because I come from a middle-class neighborhood, I’m sick and tired of ordinary people being fleeced.”
