Obama: As far as Democrats are concerned, I think that President Biden is handling it exactly right



“I think anybody who pretends that it's a hardship for billionaires to pay a little bit more in taxes so that a single mom gets childcare support … that's an argument that is unsustainable.” —
@BarackObama on Pres. Biden’s $3.5T Build Back Better infrastructure agenda.


'When you look at the overall package, it's got a headline pricetag of $3.5 trillion. But that's not a single year, this is spread out over a number of years. And most importantly, it's paid for by asking the wealthiest of Americans to pay a few percentage points more in taxes in order to make sure we have an economy that's fair for everybody.'


Taxing the wealthy to balance their rights and responsibilities for a fair and just society. Oh my!
