President Joe Biden took a dig at his predecessor, Donald Trump, during a campaign stop in the working-class Scranton, Pennsylvania, where he pitched his plan for higher taxes on the rich.
“I want to cut the federal deficit even more by making big corporations, the very wealthy begin to finally pay their fair share,” Biden told the swing state crowd Tuesday afternoon. “We're not asking anything that’s unusual.”
“Under my plan, nobody earning less than $400,000 will pay an additional penny. I hope you’re all able to make $400,000,” the president said. “I never did.”
“But they’re not going to pay an extra penny in federal taxes. That’s a promise,” Biden continued. “Nobody. Not one penny.”
“You know, I have to say, if Trump’s stock in the True Social, his company, drops any lower, he might do better under my tax plan than his,” he remarked, prompting applause and laughter from the audience.
“It’s possible,” Biden added with a wry smile.
