This is the essence of America ... Biden received 150 million purportedly anonymous donations, four times what Trump received, (therefore, I tend to agree that such measures are aimed at the pockets of wealthy middle-class Americans.). I would not be surprised that the lion's share of these donations was made by Bill Gates, since he fiercely criticized Trump in everything + he publicly approved the idea of raising taxes. One way or another, I will continue to adhere to the opinion of the Biden administration's distorted views on the current situation, (a simplistic view of wealth and disregard for financial discipline).

In addition, the Biden administration's claims that the tax code update will ultimately bring trillions of dollars into the budget ... are wrong, (in the sense that in reality it will only increase the public debt).

What disregard for financial discipline is that again? The majority of the top 10 budget deficits in history are under republican administrations. Republicans routinely run up the deficit by increasing spending and cutting taxes. America wouldn't be in such a dire financial situation if it wasn't for the massive debt accumulation that started with Regan and accelerated under Bush Jr. and Trump, who inherited the best economy in decades and shrinking deficits and managed to blow the deficit back up to over a trillion dollars a year.

In addition, the Biden administration's claims that the tax code update will ultimately bring in trillions of dollars are absolutely correct. Clamp down on the tax cheats by hiring more IRS personnel and the program will pay for itself multiple times over without changing any tax laws, just enforcing the laws already on the books. That's such an obvious fact it's stupid trying to pretend otherwise.
