Biden Scolds GOP For Their 'MEGA MAGA Trickle-Down' Proposals

Biden: “Republicans criticize my economic record. But look at what I’ve inherited and what I’ve done and look at what they’re offering. They want to double down on the Trump tax cuts for the wealthy, make them permanent because they’re going to expire in 2025. They want to send jobs overseas, where big corporations can, in fact, pay lower wages and increase their profits. And these are tax cuts that give most benefits to billionaires and wealthy corporations. And let’s get specific. They want to abolish that 15 percent — 15 percent — what a terrible thing to ask a corporation to pay — 15 percent tax that I insisted that those 55 corporations who’ve made $40 billion and didn’t pay a red cent. They now, oh my God, they got to pay 15 percent.”

“Republicans are working really hard. I have to admit, every once in a while they surprise me. They have three, not one, not two, three plans to cut Social Security benefits, three plans. And they’re not going to stop there. They’re going to do big farmers bidding to repeal my plan to allow Medicare to negotiate prescription drugs prices. We pay the highest in the world. And doing so it’s going to raise drug prices. And they’re going to raise big farmers profits. They’re doing fine, Big Pharma, they’re not hurting at all. And they’re going to raise your health insurance premiums. It’s mega MAGA, trickledown. Mega MAGA trickledown, the kind of policies that have failed the country before and it’ll fail it again.”
