BIDEN RETURNS TO WHITE HOUSE TO SIGN INFLATION REDUCTION ACT FOR MULTI-STATE VISIT

JARED BERNSTEIN: There is no goal the middle class. The IRS commissioner said audits are on the rise[ing] – are those above $400,000, and well above $400,000 in fact, because that’s where most of the tax evasion happens when it comes to actual dollar amounts.

There is also a minimum corporate tax, and there is a tax on repurchases, neither of which affect anyone under $400,000. But that bill pays for itself. It pays for itself.
