We cant not know yet. But Trump's policies have made wealthy people and companies become even wealthier. The new policies is a way Biden promising to reduce the rich-poor gap and improve the standard of those who live under condition. Though, nothing ensures that everything will be ameliorated after new policies. Just wait and see how we use the tax for national purposes.

I acquiesce because the policies made in Trump era were supposed to help big business because Trump himself is a businessman so I am happy the new policies are working towards having a more balanced economy where the poor people are relaxed via means of better policies, I was reading the article and was glad to read one sentence, that is - Free college for families that make less than $125,000 a year.

Imagine how big of a relief it would be for a below average family to have free college because education is ultimately the biggest help one can get and they are working on it. I must say, I am impressed with Biden and his policies already.

And in the United States, does the president have the right to single-handedly pass laws or must they be approved by the Senate?

For example, in Russia every candidate promises to take more from the rich and give to the poor (like Robin Hood

), but in practice, the more earnings, the less tax.
There are cases when the tax rate is reduced, but a new tax is added, which ultimately only increases the tax burden.

Whatever he or any other USA president will do will leave USA to spend more then they produce. Debt will increase as it did under a USA presidents so far. This will go on only until it will stop and then it will return like a boomerang.

He is going to destroy the whole energy industry and makes taxes bigger for rich people. Of course first one will hurt economy, and the second will cause leave of the rich people from usa

That might be a possibility because big businesses would always want to operate in a country where taxes are minimal and while having more taxes is beneficial for the government and spending it on lower earning Americans is even better but they would not want to lose big businesses because of a few absurd policies. Keeping a keen eye on this drama and lets see how it pans out.

No matter how his new tax policy is good, America will not escape the recession phase. Due to covid19, it would be impossible to recover those losses. Resources were drained as well as the debt of America continuously moving up.

The flip side is that everyone is going to face the same problem as America and when each country faces the same problem you can't really call it a recession because it is more like a worldwide problem caused by the pandemic.

In my opinion, this is an uneconomical policy and will only make America worse. This policy will soon cause a political crisis in America, the rich will no longer try to develop. Naturally, that action will lead to an economic recession in America soon.

I believe that we all know what Biden’s tax policy is going to be, as he had clearly advocated this in the run up to the elections

I'm not very much into politics, but one thing I do know is that politicians often make pre-election promises that they either have no intentions of keeping or are unable to keep because they meet resistance in the House or Congress. Therefore, I wouldn't presume to predict what's actually going to happen.

However, it's no sweat off my back if people earning over $400k/year have to pay more in taxes (though I think that's unfair for them to be targeted). As long as taxes for the average working class stiff don't increase, I'm fine with that. But what I'm really concerned about is how all of this money printing and stimulus relief and everything else is going to get paid for. I don't see how that can happen unless everyone's taxes are increased dramatically. And if the government has a plan for that, I certainly haven't heard a word about it.

A lot of people on their own are very greedy. They'll just take millions and millions and won't even spend half of it.

Why should they be required to spend it? Would you like it if your government mandated that you had to spend X% of your earnings in order to stimulate the economy? Probably not.

I understand the sentiment of the taxes that are mishandled and mismanaged that might be the reason that taxes leave a sour after taste but trust me, taxes is the reason why there are roads and bridges.

You have a point, but there must a balance between taxes and production.

There is also another reason to have roads and bridges: People with money to travel from one place to another.

If rich people left to somewhere else, there will be less new roads and bridges.

Sometimes small taxes increase production and the government makes even more money. Look at this Laffer chart:

There is a point where increasing taxes hurts the economy and the taxes revenue itself.

You can take a look here, USA already has high tax rates:

1) This policy plans to target those who earn $400,000 in wages, and levy an additional 12.4% tax on their existing tax structure.

2) Those who earn $125,000 a year will see lots of benefits from this policy:

Another robin hood socialist bastard. Take from the rich and give to the poor is always a good way of buying votes, because in every society there's more poor than rich.
Any idiot who wants to win elections and doesn't have any real business plan can base his whole campaign on socialism, but the problem of socialism is that it sounds great and seems to work at first, but always loses in the long run. Biden is old enough to know that.

Like always some will love it, others will hate it! But let's wait and see what will happen, we all know how big words politicians have before they got elected, after they forget almost everything! Why would be different now?
What this pandemic did is crazy for the global economy, and for some countries it will be very difficult to get back their normality, if I can say it like that. New governments are in a deep shit, sort of speaking, and they didn't even start! Of course, they will try to fix many problems, but as always I doubt in success!
At least we in crypto know what to expect from someone (anyone) with big (huge) promises!

The above taxation is really unfair for the rich and this tax disparity will also reduce people's ambitions. Because if you work hard, the higher your salary, the heavier you will be taxed, so why work hard to get rich?
This is Biden's weakness in taking care of the economy in America. If Biden really elected, I think the United States will once again fall into critical.

In any way, when you work hard, you still get more money than those who get less income. If I earn $100 000 and don't get taxed but you earn $200 000 and get 20% tax, you still have higher profit than me, $160 000.

Personally, I like this idea. A lot of people on their own are very greedy. They'll just take millions and millions and won't even spend half of it. If we want to create a better future, then we should set higher tax on rich people. Higher tax on them means that money will go from those who have surplus to those who have a deficit of it. I don't mean direct movement but that money should be invested in strategically needed businesses and services. We don't have to push poor people harder but we can take some money from rich people and invest in necessary things.

I hired about the Biden's tax policy any many people are talking about it and making articles. some compiling and some not. the whole point is the policy is known yet because any tax and economic policy will take effect in long or mid-term considering what we saw in the history of taxing if they target people who earn 400K, they people wont stay slice and they will surly try to do money laundry and stop paying taxes by some tricks. So I would downvote this tax policy, however we need to wait and see the effects.

To increase the size of the relief fund for the recovery of the economy that collapsed due to the coronavirus. Republicans on the other hand rejected the Democrats' spending plan. This created a stalemate in the discussion now again Republicans are hinting that they will make a deal before the new president enters office. China will find a way to deliver the goods to America. but what chance does America have if the cost of a trade war is to be reimbursed by Americans with taxes then Biden's tax policy will hurt Americans.

No matter how his new tax policy is good, America will not escape the recession phase. Due to covid19, it would be impossible to recover those losses. Resources were drained as well as the debt of America continuously moving up. However I think he wants to habe a regressive tax reform to ensure that the low income earner and high income earner will be equal in terms of paying taxes. But I am sure that businessman will definitely become less profitable because of this tax policy.

How could people think that the economy right now that is going bad could ever be Bidens fault considering he is not even the president. If you think Biden's potential presidency could hurt the economy today before it happens, you have no idea how economy works at all.

Even during early days of Bidens presidency the economy could be going bad and it wouldn't really be Bidens fault because economy is something that takes time to reflect on changes that was made, which means if you are talking about first 6 months of Trumps presidency that was Obama as well and first 6 months of Obamas presidency was Bush and first 6 months of Bush' presidency was Clinton, that has always been seen that way by economists. If you think you know better, you could always believe in what you believe, doesn't make it right but nobody also can force you to change your mind, it is your own free will.

Donald Trump's reduced tax rate cuts have not succeeded in creating jobs in America.

Yet the number of employed people during his term has grown by 6 million.

"You will see a depression the like you have never seen before" - DJ Trump.

Taxing the top 1-5% only makes them get out from the US and invest elsewhere. It also makes foreign investments into the US not appealing. Hence, fewer jobs, less income, less consumption -> downward spiral.

I've never been remotely convinced by this argument. It's pure scaremongering. A small tax increase for the ultra-rich doesn't suddenly transform the US into a socialist dystopia where everyone is haemorrhaging money and it's impossible for billionaires to make a profit, and they have to spend vast amounts of money uprooting and establishing a base in a different country.

It is already hurting Americans.
Usd is losing value against most currencies world wide. And he didnt even started doing what he promised.
I understand it was hard to vote in Donald Trump... but to raise taxes is quite crazy also.

Tax raise policy that Biden wants to propose does not hurt Americans, remember that taxes is used to fund infrastructure that benefits the public. I think that it is fair that people earning more money should pay more taxes. USD will not completely lose its value because there is a gold backing the fiat. I understand the sentiment of the taxes that are mishandled and mismanaged that might be the reason that taxes leave a sour after taste but trust me, taxes is the reason why there are roads and bridges. Just consider tax as your rent to your country that you are living in, sort of.

While it indeed benefits the low-income families, I think it is extremely untimely and quite unfair for the government to levy additional taxes to certain sectors in the middle of a pandemic and economic crisis. I think a new tax policy could wait for several months, until the smoke of the present crisis settles down. It could be implemented while the recovery is ongoing. But, as it is, Biden's tax policy looks fair enough.
