Simply put, higher taxes. The Build Back Better bill is going to raise taxes for many middle class families,
according to the Nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. This comes in spite of promises made by president Biden to
not raise taxes on Americans earning more than $400k per year.
In fact, roughly 20 to 30 percent of middle income households will pay more in taxes in 2022, according to a
report that looked at individual income taxes and payroll taxes. Most will see about $100 more in taxes but in
2023 this will be subject to change due to the extension of the child tax credit, set only to hold up through
2022.
Higher Taxes in 2023
According to a quote from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, “In general, the combined effects of these
changes would result in many households paying higher taxes in 2023 than in 2022. They would shrink the
average 2023 tax cuts for low-income households, raise taxes slightly for moderate-income households, and
increase taxes significantly for the highest-income households,”
With a continuity of rising taxes over the next few years, the TPC has offered information that appears to
conflict with Biden’s promise of not increasing taxes. However, a report by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
shows that the reconciliation bill holds a multitude of accounting maneuvers that lead to a bill that costs 4.1
trillion in spending, rather than the proposed 1.75 trillion, with short term tax increases until 2026.
Not the Only Expensive Bill
In addition to the already expensive BBB Bill, democrats have proposed a 2.9 trillion dollar tax hike,
affecting 85 percent of American taxpayers. In fact, Americans in jus about every tax bracket will see an
increase in their taxes by 2023 with the weight of these costs falling heavily on the middle class, this being
that 95 percent of small businesses are labeled as “pass-through entities,” who end up being responsible for
those increases.
Additionally, this bill would increase corporate tax rates form 21 percent to 26.5 percent, affecting those same
small businesses by more than 1.4 trillion operating at “C-Corporations.”
Not only will this affect middle-class taxpayers, it will significantly increase inflationary pressure.
