Helping working families and the middle class get ahead and reducing the deficit at the same time are not mutually exclusive.

Potentially deadly serious.

Those promises are piling up, but their numbers aren't adding up.

I would like for them to have that feeling of relief once again.

But it actually refers to pretty devastating stuff, does it not?

The President's budget would impose a minimum tax of 25 percent on total income, inclusive of unrealized capital gains.

That a great number of us on this committee signed to the Acting Director of FinCEN.

President Biden is absolutely right when he says that the tax system in America is deeply unfair.

The short answer is 'no.' Not even close.

The debt is like paying our national credit card.

I appreciate the President not taking that tack, and instead of saying fair share.

Well thank you, because that is a huge issue, and we need to invest a lot more.

The idea that we're going to cut taxes on the rich, which is what the Republican plan in the House is, and put this massive additional tax on the ordinary families, I know it would not sell in my state one moment.

I for one think that the richest 400 families should pay at least what a middle-class American pays, rather than eight percent.
