MURDOCK: Biden’s Socialist Budget Targets Poor, Black Smokers

Joe Biden repeatedly has pledged to raise taxes only on the affluent.

“I promise you, you have my word, if you make less than $400,000 a year, you won’t pay a penny more in taxes,” the president told voters in St. Paul, Minnesota on October 30, 2020. According to Americans for Tax Reform, Biden publicly expressed these or equivalent remarks at least 41 other times.

These are mere words to Biden. He is working furiously to send these 42 commitments up in smoke, quite literally.

Biden’s highly fluid, accounting-trick laden Build Back Better plan could wind up costing between $1 trillion and $5.7 trillion, once feuding Democrats choose from among their multiple personalities. If they ever organize themselves and pass this socialist monstrosity, it likely will include higher taxes on tobacco and vape products.
