Originality007:
Joe Biden has a slew of proposals for new economic programs, and the tax hikes to pay for them. But the Democratic presidential candidate doesn’t have much to say about his economic plan, even though the nation’s in a deep recession and some fresh ideas might be welcome.

Yahoo Finance has asked the Biden campaign several times for an interview with a Biden economic adviser able to comment on the candidate’s plans. The campaign hasn’t responded. The New York Times wrote on June 11 that “few aspects of Joseph R. Biden’s presidential campaign are shrouded in as much secrecy as the counsel he receives on the economy.” Biden has reportedly formed an advisory committee with more than 100 economists, who are sworn to silence regarding their participation.

Why so sketchy? Part of it probably involves a strategy to let voters focus on President Trump’s negative marks for handling the coronavirus pandemic and an outbreak of racial unrest, rather than Biden’s own ideas. “The Biden campaign would love to make this election a referendum on Donald Trump and not a choice between the two candidates,” Washington policy analyst Ed Mills of financial firm Raymond James says on the latest episode of the Yahoo Finance Electionomics podcast. “The more Biden talks about his policies, the more it becomes a choice between the two candidates, and that is an opening for Trump.”

Biden’s whole campaign has been in stealth mode, as the coronavirus pandemic forced the cancellation of campaign rallies and the former vice president laid low at his Delaware home. Biden has been holding online events with supporters, and he has shown up for a few in-person events. While bashing Trump, however, he’s saying little about his own policies. Axios recently reported that Trump is frustrated by Biden’s low profile and is trying to develop a “smoke him out” strategy that goads Biden into speaking out more and gives Trump more opportunity to attack Biden’s remarks (or mistakes).

The chances of tax hikes going through
Biden’s economic plan involves a variety of tax hikes more modest than those proposed in the Democratic primaries by Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. But they’d still be a substantial change from the Trump status quo. Biden would raise the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%, establish a new minimum tax on large companies, raise income and capital gains taxes on high earners, and repeal some corporate tax breaks. He’d use the additional tax revenue to finance new spending on clean energy, expanded health care, more college aid, infrastructure and other initiatives.
There are two scenarios for Biden’s economic plan. If he wins the presidency but Republicans maintain control of the Senate, he’d have difficulty getting tax and spending hikes passed and most of his ideas would remain on the shelf. If Biden wins and Democrats take over the Senate, his tax and spending plans might be more likely to pass. But it’s not a given that Congress would raise taxes with the economy still struggling to recover from the coronavirus recession.

Americans aren’t necessarily opposed to the tax hikes Biden has proposed. Trump, of course, signed a major tax cut in 2017, with a large reduction in business taxes and other tax cuts for the wealthy. Lower earners got tax cuts too, but they were relatively small and the Trump tax cuts remains unpopular. “There is a sense a lot of voters have that that tax cut did not individually help them,” Mills says. “In polling data, you actually see a pretty large swath of Americans in support of reversing that.”

Biden won the Democratic primary because he seemed like a moderate compared with the likes of Sanders and Warren. But Biden has been drifting toward some leftist proposals, in an effort to appease Sanders and Warren supporters who can provide an important edge in November. Biden has adopted Warren’s idea of a minimum 15% tax on companies that report a profit to shareholders, even if they use legal tax breaks to lower their federal tax payment well below that level. And he favors the Green New Deal in principle, even if he doesn’t embrace specific provisions that would heavily regulate the energy and transportation sectors. One idea Biden hasn’t adopted is a wealth tax on multimillionaires.

Trump isn’t shy about distorting and belittling the views of his political opponents. He refers to the Biden campaign as “radical left Democrats” and at some point will probably attach the socialist label to Biden’s tax plans. Biden may have to answer such charges, especially in the three presidential debates scheduled for September and October. But with Trump’s poll numbers sinking amid a pandemic, a recession and a revolt over racial disparities, he’ll let Trump campaign against himself for as long as possible. Trump trails Biden in the polls, but if you start to hear Biden saying more about his tax and spending plans, it probably means Trump is mounting a comeback.

exactly the tactics apc used to remove Jonathan and nigerians(ediots) are regretting more than ever. Apc had no economic plan .. buhari even didn't know there was fuel subsidy...he was more clueless than even the ediots that were shouting sai baba. Anyways im pretty sure the media rhetorics will not deliver a bidden victory. He has simply not said anything about the economy all he keeps hammering are Racism, blm etc I've never had so much disappointment at the democratic party than now. I cant wait for the debates. ....ermmm speaking of debates ..in nigeria. Our useless president refused to debate and guess what my supposed educated brothers said. ....WHO DEBATE HELP.....Make una enjoy am.

This cannot kill a human. Just a very painful sting.

its clear most people here have no clue about nothing. Solutions here are so unrealistic, never taking into consideration that laws take a lot of time for ammendment and there are three tiers of government. Of your solution involves changing the laws then its useless. Imagine somebody saying he'll introduce technology into civil service as a solution.....how is that going to help nugeruas economy. Clueless youths.

COMPAQ:
Asides education and security though. But left to me everything else like power, airports, sea some roads, seaports, stadia, national theatre etc all deserve to be in private hands.

yes education, security and health would be a ppp

I would simply privatize everything and strictly assume a regulatory role. CAPITALISM is the solution to Nigerias problems.

Obasanjjo still our best president. Capitalism at its peak in naija. The only way nigeria can succeed.

Abegy... there are so many igbo guys that didn't listen to their parents concerning yoruba wives....they regretted and it failed. Yoruba culture is very different from igbo culture but more important is the fact parents see certai. Very dangerous red flags and a are kids about them. The wise ones listen....

This story get as e be. We don't know whether fake rape stories are true again. Too many non sensible flags here.

So u ppl thought u.k would let her leave when they can get a piece of the loot
....loooll... na stupid countries like Nigeria dey extradite wanted rich criminals..

Vyzz:
Now look at it




What the don't know is that black are slowing gaining America


Very soon there will be more blacks than white in the country

this is how u ppl stay in ikorodu n be talking nonsense. Blacks used to be 2nd largest race but have been overwhelmingly overtaken by the latinos. Soon blacks may become a minority. If you don't know anything pls Google census figures of the u.s. white make up about 60percent. Whites/Caucasians are still a majority here.

This is getting boring. The fact we blacks keep asking the white man for our rights implies he is superior. The germans were forced to sign a treaty of Versailles in 1918 by the allied forces, they didnt whine and complain, they went ahead and built the most powerful army in history and though they were conquered(wwii), they proved a point and earned their respect. The jews have always been massacred all over, the climax was the holocaust, they didnt whine and ask for rights, they went ahead and built a tech giant in a landlocked middle east(supported heavily by American jews e.g the Rothschild family et al), with no single resource there. The Chinese were once referred to as " the sick men of Asia " , slaves to the Japanese and Mongols, they didnt whine and ask for rights they decided they'd build the tallest buildings in the world just to make a statement. They isolated themselves and trained themselves to invent the wheel like the white man. They REFUSED any stipends from the white man. In U.S.A there were jim crow laws against colored people(blacks, Mexicans, Chinese, red Indians, Indians etc), The blacks were majority of the colored people strata. We had a civil rights movement asking for rights from the white man, it didn't end systemic segregation, though the laws forbade it. The other coloured people realised this and decided to build their communities and empower themselves and earn respect. The Chinese have China towns all over the U.S, these have earned them so much respect that in some cases public utilities have chinese inscriptions. The Mexicans/Latinos decided they'd seize the opportunity in America and make as much profit as possible, by bringing in lots of illegals for cheap labour. Now they have the Jeff bezos etc they ensure their people get jobs. They're respected and white supremacists even fear they might takeover the U.S. These communities have fought against Jim crow laws and seized the opportunity to develop themselves knowing respect and rights aren't given. They're earned. My black people keep asking for rights from the same Whiteman who has benefited from segregation and somehow we think he'd ever give up that power. My black people are the only race that segregate against their own kins from africa and other places(vice versa). Creating movements like ADOS(American descendants of slaves) etc. We go into a beautiful enviroment and after a few years it becomes the hood. Gang violence, dirt, decay and retrogression. Affirmative action was provided(a Trojan horse in my opinion). For those that do not know what this means. It implies a black man in the U.S by law can get into certain social science courses in the university by scoring relatively lower grades than the white man. So we loved it and took the easy way out, while the white kids kept their A game while striving to beat records. Affirmative action isn't applied in SCIENCE courses if you must know. To be fair on the system, affirmative action has created an opportunity for lots of black kids to go to school but the greatest damage it did was reduce our standards. How do you expect rights if we do not build ourselves as a people. First step is EMBRACE SCIENCE, next step EMBRACE SCIENCE. We need to viciously combat the spate of single parent homes in the black community.... I'd explain why. Society begins from home/family. If the home is dysfunctional a part of society becomes dysfunctional. We need more fathers in the black community to teach men, not to act based on emotions but realise there are consequences for their actions and think long term. We need more men with bigger egos who will ask questions like WHY DO WE NEED HELP AND RIGHTS FROM FELLOW MENA? WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THEM THAT GIVES THEM A SUPERIORITY COMPLEX?. Only a man can teach a boy to be a man. A woman will teach a boy to be a woman.....vice versa. In as much feminists might find this appalling, ego provides the impetus for success and the desired to get up from slumber. We need more fathers to raise men in our communities We also need to understand that while we were fighting our brothers from Africa(vice versa)and segregating against them the Latinos united and outnumbered us. America is a democracy if you know what that implies. We need to stop getting involved in crimes since we know the police is out to get us(as most of us believe). BLM should be channeled more on educating the black community on the need to up our game by fighting the enemies within. We need to teach our kids this basic principle, RIGHTS/POWERS ARE EARNED NOT GIVEN. How do we earn these rights? By achieving what the other races have achieved. Support ourselves and ensure we protect our family systems more than ever. We need to bypass affirmative action if possible and increase our standards. Perhaps even create ours. Unfortunately these issues do not only affect blacks in North America but blacks all over. Its the very reason the transatlantic slave trade was made possible and lasted over 300 years. We didn't move along with the rest of the world ie embrace the gun powder/science. We rather believed in religious dogma than respect the blacksmiths. How would we move along when we had no idea what was going on around us? We were asleep. Still are today.

He's a rapist because they said he raped. Interesting.
And you wonder why people are making sextapes everyday. So someone doesn't suddenly decide sex was rape because a relationship didn't suffice. .

Don't mind these fake newsers...they think its easy to walk into white house. With hi-tech defense mechanisms eerywhere .lllloooooll

A stupid thing to do. We know all lives matter but u don't come antagonizing black lives matter protesters, mourning a dead black dude.

This is how u ppl talk nonsense. 3 ppl were arrested but u came to spew this nonsense. Without verifying. Th a t how u ppl were shouting sai..baba

My friend from university days, she had this bf, he didn't marry her cause it was a few months to his wedding when they started dating, though he'd been pestering her for long, she no gree. Her excuse? he's a bit elderly - 8/9 years, not sure.

A relationship started and it was hot. My friend, according to her, didn't know he was that close to marrying his girlfriend, she wouldn't have agreed to date him.

They made love on his wedding day, dunno how the guy managed with that. He hid it from her. She got to know later that that was his wedding day.

It's been years now, they're both married
and they still see. They said they can't stop. I wonder if the two of them are not crazy, they would've just married each other.

So, so for a match made in heaven.

when they catch her the guy will run o......loool
