Tweet - "Let me give you the facts. In 2020, 55 corporations made $40 billion. And they paid zero in federal taxes. My Inflation Reduction Act puts an end to this."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 22, 2022
|
Tweet - "Let's look at the facts: The federal deficit went up every single year in the Trump administration. On my watch, things have been different. The deficit has come down both years that I've been in office."

Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 22, 2022
|
Tweet - "Republican leaders made clear that they'd extend the reckless Trump Tax cuts, allow wealthy companies to go back to paying nothing in taxes, and repeal lower prescription drug costs -- costing the federal government billions. Their plan would add $3 trillion to the deficit."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 21, 2022
|
Tweet - "Last year, the deficit fell by $350 billion. This year, it'll fall by $1.4 trillion. And, because we're making corporations pay their fair share and giving Medicare the power to negotiate lower prices, we'll reduce the deficit by another $250 billion over the next decade."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 21, 2022
|
Tweet - "This is the largest one-year drop in the federal deficit. Since we took office, the deficit has come down every year. We'll reduce the deficit by another $250 billion over the next decade by making sure the largest corporations pay their fair share in federal taxes."

Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 9, 2022
|
Tweet - "We are on track to reduce the deficit by more than $1 trillion this year -- and that's on top of a $350 billion deficit reduction last year. Don't let anyone tell you we can't afford to invest in America's families."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 8, 2022
|
Tweet - "Republicans had no problem enacting a $2 trillion tax cut that overwhelmingly benefitted the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations. Now, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, corporations will have to pay a minimum corporate tax of 15%."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 3, 2022
|
Tweet - "I said we'd be with the people of Puerto Rico for as long as it took. I meant it. In the wake of Hurricane Fiona, I'm announcing a $60 million investment to shore up levees and flood walls, and create a new flood warning system to help residents better prepare for future storms."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Oct. 3, 2022

|
| Oct. 1, 2022
|
Tweet - "Republicans are always talking about the deficit. Well, guess what? The last guy increased the debt with tax cuts for big corporations. Not a penny of it was paid for. This year, we've reduced the deficit by more than $1 trillion."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Sept. 24, 2022
|
Tweet - "Congressional Republicans can talk all they want about spending. Their tax bill added $2 trillion to the deficit. My economic plan isn't just paid for, it'll reduce the deficit by hundreds of billions."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Sept. 19, 2022
|
Tweet - "In 2020, 55 of the Fortune 500 companies didn't pay a single penny in federal income tax. Firefighters and nurses paid more in taxes than some of the largest corporations in the country. The Inflation Reduction Act rights that wrong."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Sept. 15, 2022
|
Tweet - "Hard-working Americans pay the taxes they owe. It's time billionaires did as well."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Sept. 7, 2022
|
Tweet - "If you're a cop, teacher, or steelworker, you shouldn't be paying two to three times the rate that millionaires and billionaires are paying in federal taxes. The Inflation Reduction Act builds a better, fairer tax code."

Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Sept. 6, 2022
|

|
| Aug. 23, 2022
|

|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Aug. 21, 2022
|
Tweet - "As we promised, we will not raise taxes on families making less than $400,000 a year. The Inflation Reduction Act will be paid for by our nation's largest corporations finally paying their fair share."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| Aug. 19, 2022
|
Tweet - "For decades, the tax code has allowed big corporations to avoid paying their fair share in this country. Not anymore under the Inflation Reduction Act."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| Aug. 18, 2022
|
Tweet - "It's now law that big corporations pay a minimum 15% tax on the profits they report to their shareholders, instead of getting away with paying zero dollars in federal income taxes."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| Aug. 16, 2022
|
Tweet - "The Inflation Reduction Act will be paid for by our nation's largest corporations paying their fair share in taxes. This legislation does not raise taxes on anyone making less than $400,000 a year."

|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| June 24, 2022
|
Tweet - "Republicans in Congress still refuse to even consider changing any part of the Trump tax cuts. They still refuse to even consider a minimum corporate tax. They seem to think that the problem in America today is that working families aren't paying enough."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| June 17, 2022
|
Tweet - "All I'm asking is for the largest corporations and the wealthiest Americans to begin to pay their fair share in taxes. I made this commitment from the beginning. Nothing's changed. No one making less than $400,000 will pay a single penny more in federal taxes."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| June 16, 2022
|
Tweet - "Congressional Republicans like to portray me as some sort of big spender, but let's compare the facts. Under my predecessor, the deficit exploded -- rising every year. Under my plan, we cut the deficit by $350 billion last year. And we're cutting it by $1.6 trillion this year."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| June 14, 2022
|
Tweet - "Under my plan no one making less than $400,000 per year will pay a penny more in federal taxes. But we'll no longer have a situation where 55 of the largest corporations in America pay zero in federal income taxes on $40 billion in profits."

Pres. Joe Biden
|
| June 14, 2022

|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| June 8, 2022
|
Tweet - "Congressional Republicans want to raise taxes on working families by $1,500 and put Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid on the chopping block. I disagree. And I'll work with anyone to deliver real savings to the American people -- not take money out of your pocket."

|
| June 8, 2022

|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| May 23, 2022

|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| May 22, 2022

|
| May 18, 2022

Pres. Joe Biden
|
| May 17, 2022
|
Tweet - "A plan by Republican Senator Rick Scott would increase taxes on 70% of the American public and put Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid on the chopping block every five years. Under my plan, no one making less than $400,000 will see their taxes increase."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| May 14, 2022
|
Tweet - "Under my predecessor, the deficit increased every single year. This year, we're on track to cut the deficit by $1.5 trillion -- the biggest one-year decline ever. It matters to families, because reducing the deficit is one of the main ways we can ease inflationary pressures."

Pres. Joe Biden
|
| May 13, 2022
|
Tweet - "We need to fund the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities. That's why we designed the American Rescue Plan not only to beat the pandemic and rebuild our economy -- but to restore public safety."

Pres. Joe Biden
|
| May 12, 2022
|
Tweet - "Senator Rick Scott's ultra-MAGA agenda could raise taxes on 75 million American families, over 95% of whom make less than $100,000 a year. Their plan is going to make working families poorer."
|
Pres. Joe Biden
|
| May 12, 2022
|
Tweet - "Our Administration has called on Congress to pass $22.5 billion in additional emergency funding against COVID. $5 billion of that would be dedicated to helping to save lives around the world. We'll continue to advocate for critical resources as part of our global commitment."
|
Kamala Harris
|
| May 10, 2022
|
Tweet - "The Congressional Republican plan will raise taxes on 75 million American families -- over 95% of whom earn less than $100,000. The average tax increase would be about $1,500 per family."

| May 4, 2022
