    Here are the massive tax increases coming your way in a second Biden term | Fox News

    Biden would increase the corporate income tax from today’s 21% to 28%. That’s a higher tax rate than communist China and France and the U.K., each at 25%.

    Now add the average state corporate income tax at 4% and the average combined Biden rate would be 32%. That would be the second-highest corporate income tax in the developed world. Just below Colombia.

    California businesses would pay the 44.6% federal capital gains tax plus a 14.4% state capital gains tax for a combined rate of 59%. New York state businesses would pay a combined 53.4% on capital gains.

    Biden promises to impose a tax on "unrealized gains." If your land or stock account has increased in value in the last year you would pay taxes on the unrealized gain. You have not sold the property; you do not have the income. It isn’t "real." Yet you will be taxed as if you had made the sale and received the income.

    This is just what our country needs more taxes

    It's nice you are admitting Trump will lose but the rest is Fox garbage.

    At least I'm honest, I admit there is a chance that Biden gets reelected. I mean there's a lot of idiots out there that will still vote him. So are you claiming all of what Fox is reporting false?

    There is no reason to ever believe anything Trump or Fox has any truthfulness. No other "news" org has had to pay out $787M for defamation for election lies like they have.

    I don't know why I even asked you a question, you're one of those that voted for Biden, and you know what I think of them

    The tax on unrealized gains would be aimed at a pretty small percentage of people , right?

    Is that all your getting from this article? What's a small percentage to you? Or does this not affect you, so you don't care

    Liberals are ugly, jealous people who covet others success.
    They always consider taking from others in order to squander it just to say they made it fair.
    I will NEVER vote blue.

    Good grief, slow down on the negativity. Geez. There’s obviously a lot in there. the implication in your post was that the unrealized gains tax would apply to everyone. But that’s not correct, right?
    And, yes, my initial responses to something like that are:
    Is it true?
    How would it affect people like me?

    Effective tax rate is the only number that matters. Gotta pay dividends to offshore job creators;)

    I am opposed to the corporate tax increase but must note that you cannot stack the state rate on top of the federal rate in determining the effective total rate. Unless the law is changed, state income taxes paid by corporations are deductible for federal income tax purposes, thereby reducing the actual net impact of state income taxes.

    One change that should be considered is a surcharge on the profits/distributions of pass through entities to corporations and individuals that exceed a certain amount.

    OP, last time I checked your political hero was cutting taxes and raising deficit spending at the same time. For several years. BEFORE Covid.

    I guess he just wanted to get something for nothing. Let someone ELSE pay the bills, but consume. To me that is called WELFARE. But at least Biden wants people to pay their own bills.

    OP, why do you support such a welfare queen? Do you just want to be a welfare queen also?

    I do think that's important to remember. I don't know if Biden's tax goals are good in the long term or not. But it seems the Republican approach is to keep cutting taxes on the wealthy while complaining about the deficit. That doesn't make sense, does it?

    Bluke apparently decided to play "2 lies and 1 truth" without telling anyone.
