96 [link removed]  For Democrats, Taxes Are Always the Answer
Chairman Kyle Hupfer and Mike Pompeo, former U.S. Secretary of State and
Director of the CIA during the Trump Administration, pose for a photo
after the Allen County Lincoln Day Dinner on Tuesday.
Last Monday was
Tax Day — otherwise known as the Democrats' favorite holiday.

And
just a few weeks before that, Joe Biden unveiled his budget for the
upcoming fiscal year. Unsurprisingly, it was filled with tax hikes,
wasteful spending, and new debt. In fact, his plan contains 36 tax hikes
totaling $2.5 trillion in new or increased taxes, including a nearly $1
trillion tax increase on families. Moreover, the plan calls for
increasing the corporate tax rate and taxing unrealized gains, making
our tax rates some of the highest in the developed world.

What would
be the result if his budget was enacted? One-hundred fifty-nine thousand
less jobs, a loss in GDP to the tune of $720 billion, and lower wages.
As you know, we're already experiencing some of that now. Thanks to the
economic policies of Joe Biden and the Democrats, inflation has
skyrocketed to a 40-year high, costing the average Hoosier family $496
in March alone. On top of that, real wages are down by 2.7%. And just
yesterday, the Commerce Department announced that GDP had decreased by
1.4% for the first quarter of the year.

Higher inflation and lower
GDP seems to be the key pillars of the "Biden Plan," which he claims is
working just fine.

But Obama-era economic advisor Stephen Rattner
stated earlier this month that Joe Biden and the Democrats' $1.9
trillion American Rescue Plan "will go down in history as an
extraordinary policy mistake" and that it has put the U.S. "behind the
curve" on skyrocketing inflation.

So what do the Democrats plan to do
now?

According to Chuck Schumer, “If you want to get rid of
inflation, the only way to do it is to raise…undo the Trump tax cuts and
raise rates.”
