President Joe Biden proposed increasing taxes on America's wealthiest households Monday in a budget blueprint that looks to cut the deficit while boosting military spending, funding for cops and a range of domestic priorities, including mental health and housing.
Biden requested a $5.8 trillion budget from Congress for the 2023 fiscal year, which begins in October, that includes $1.6 billion on discretionary programs, a 7% increase over the current year. The linchpin is a new "minimum tax on billionaires" that targets roughly the country's highest 700 earners.

We need to transfer more wealth and power from the people to the Washington D.C. Oligarchy
The political elite deserve more.
Households don’t really EARN $100 million.
It’s in stocks and financial equivalents
How about you quit spending money like it’s going out of style. 14 months in office and he has spend almost 10 trillion dollars.
fraud
Where’s the passports ?
Too expensive to keep a bank account in US anymore.
Government taxes you 28% earning the dollar then taxes you another 20% for holding the dollar.
If excess amount of wealth is heavily taxed, they will not be incentivized to take so much from others who have lost their small businesses and self employed enterprises.
Brandon gonna spend our way out of inflation
