Despite Campaign Promises to Not Hike Taxes, Biden Build Back Better Agenda Will Hike Taxes on 30% of Middle-Class Families

  • President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better agenda would raise taxes on up to 30 percent of middle-class families, despite his campaign promises not to hike taxes on anyone making under $400,000 per year, according to a new analysis.
  • “Taking into account all major tax provisions, roughly 20 percent to 30 percent of middle-income households would pay more in taxes in 2022,” an analysis published late Thursday by the non-partisan Tax Policy Center found.
  • However, the report highlighted the tax increases would be “small.”
