Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

I’m sorry. I missed that. When did he say things didn’t change for the wealthy? I don’t understand the context.

It was the same time he was telling them racists would work with him because he wasn't Black like Obama and was actually great friends with the racists in both parties...
It's weird, Biden's biggest supporters online usually aren't familiar with Biden's words and actions
It's a lot like trump supporters. They have a candidate and they will always believe that candidate did the best thing possible.
You’re quite hostile, and make a lot of assumptions. I’m an advocate for information, and just as critical of Biden as I am supportive. My comments linked to bills were meant to inform those that assume inaction. You are right that I didn’t see this before. He said he won’t “demonize the rich.” He’s increasing their taxes, as well as corporate taxes, and closing loopholes, while funding and empowering the IRS to audit the wealthy (a process that was previously considered too difficult with the thinly-spread accounting staff). He’s not demonizing them, he’s just holding them financially accountable.
Either Biden did something significant and lied...
Or what you're saying he did wasn't enough.
Because like you said, trumps tax cuts in 2017 were in effect in 2019 when he said that.
I'm sorry there's no way for Biden to be right both times, and I understand how it's frustrating when confronted with evidence instead of just insults and insinuations.
But at the end of the day, either Biden lied, or he's not doing enough.
That's just life.
What don’t you understand? We’re going in circles now. He proposed his tax reform in March of this year. It won’t go into effect until Trump’s tax breaks on the wealthy expire in December.
And yes, the wealthy will lose money. And no, it will not affect their standard of living, just their portfolios.
Then it's not enough...
Billionaires were out of control in 2016 too...
I'm glad you realize we're going in circles now, that's the first step to understanding. To be honest, I needed that reassurance that this working.
You’ve convinced me of nothing but your willful ignorance.
Do you agree with the statement:
