The Inflation Reduction Act Will Hurt the Middle Class

Throughout his campaign, Joe Biden repeatedly promised not to raise taxes on those making less than $400,000. But that was back then. In the current political climate, the oddly and incorrectly dubbed “Inflation Reduction Act” Chuck Schumer-Joe Manchin spending scheme makes Biden look like a liar.

An analysis from Fox Business shows that the proposal, which would spend hundreds of billions of dollars on green projects, would cost individuals earning less than $10,000 a year 3.1% more in taxes in 2023 when the legislation would increase tax revenue most. The tax rate for those making $20,000-$30,000 would increase by 1.1%. In 2023, tax revenue from those making $100,000 or less would increase by $4.8 billion.

With government math, all those income levels fall below the $400,000 mark Biden established as a new tax boundary. Fox Business reported that the “vast majority” of Americans would pay more taxes under the Democrats’ inflationary plan. Moreover, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation, it would take another $16.7 billion from those earning less than $200,000.

According to Senate Finance Committee ranking member Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, analyzing this bill by impartial experts reveals Democrats are trying to sell a bill of goods to the American people. As a result, this bill increases middle-class taxes and has no meaningful effect on reducing the deficit when gimmicks are removed and full costs are accounted for.

Even when Democrats put together their latest tax hike, Biden reiterated the claim that those earning under $400,000 will not be taxed more. The Democrats are trying to spin this like a tax on the wealthy. If you look at any of these taxes, take something like the [corporate minimum tax], according to Mike Palicz of Americans for Tax Reform. There will be a drop in wages and a loss of jobs as a result. He also said there is a tax on crude oil worth $25 billion. Everyone is going to be affected by that. Those are regressive taxes on poor people that increase energy costs and gasoline prices.

According to the New York Post, in addition to the $16.7 billion the Manchin deal would cost those making under $200,000, $14.1 billion would be paid by those earning $200-500,000.

According to the assessment, by 2031, people earning less than $400,000 will be responsible for paying two-thirds of all additional tax revenue. However, a spokesperson for Senate Finance Chair Ron Wyden, D-Ore., claimed families would not pay additional taxes. It would cost taxpayers $369 billion for climate spending and another $64 billion to continue federal health insurance subsidies. A minimum of 15% corporate tax is demanded, which is passed on to company customers, whether they are wholesalers, retailers, or consumers, which means the hidden costs will eventually trickle down to middle-class families.

    Thank you for this informative article! It puts real numbers and real facts with the projected ramifications if this Inflation “Increase” Act that is being forced upon the American people against our will is passed in US Senate! As you point out so well this “Inflationary” Act of 2022 makes President Biden out to be a liar as he repeatedly promised in his Presidential Campaign that no one making under 400K would be taxed! This Administration is trying to crush America’s middle class which makes up the backbone of America! I can’t wait for 2022 mid-terms and for 2024 election to change the course of where America is heading… which right now, is socialism and more misery for average US citizen!

    The bullshit trickery with words is old, old, old, just like the asshole speaking them. We are not that stupid. The climate change analysis by the current administration is only a way to tax the citizens and indirectly put the money in the pockets of friends and family of the current administration. Who will own and operate the new businesses cleaning up this climate scare??? We all know who. Stop fucking us before people begin killing you. It will happen. The sooner the better in my opinion.
