#2 A moron and lifelong BS artist-cum-buffoon, with a brain-dead ex jockette swimmer for a press secretary, answering Q's about price-elasticity and the macroeconomic effects of marginal tax rates. O-Kay.

Like asking the staff of "The View" to hold forth about likely impact of Fed policy on the long bond.

#5 More like the exact opposite occurs. A friend of mine owns a local beer distributor in PA. Every tax or tariff added he hikes prices a bit higher to cover the increased tax plus a few dollars in his pocket. Any one who complains he bitches right along side of his customers how the politicians suck.

GAS up $.69 per gallon since Jan 20th.
Food prices depending of the item jumping 15 to 20% monthly in Wally World.

While Volume and content package sizes are shrinking. Compare Pre-Woke to WOKE packaging. Some are not the same size. Not all, just some...

In all honesty its not just BIDEN.
Less we forget it is in a major part Nancy's House control also. Since ALL Taxes are written in Congress.

BTW: Store Brand Bacon $3.99 to $4.29 14 oz for 14oz. or about $4.59 to $4.89 per/lb.

Makes it cheaper to buy ground beef @ $3.29 80/20 to $3.89 80/20 (ground chuck)
Ground Beef is cheaper in our Super Markets .

#7 "He also believes that the American people are smart. They’re invested in this. They’re going to pay attention and that they know that corporations do not need to raise the cost of goods in order to pay more taxes and pay more of their fair share"

What the hell is that gonna matter. I bitch about rising fuel prices. Yet I don't see them going back down cause of it.

#8 Reduce all CEO's salaries 10% to help pay pay for the tax increases. Oh yeah and cut members of congress' pay the same amount.
