Biden campaign just released perhaps my favorite contrast doc for the general election to date:

Biden v Trump on taxes

A clear illustration of the fact Biden will fight for working families, and Trump will fight for billionaires and big corporations

A story in 4 parts
Part 1: Trump's tax record

The only big domestic accomp for Trump? He didn't get an infra bill passed, but he did get a tax giveaway for the super-wealthy passed!

83% of the benefits of that tax bill will ultimately go to the top 1%

40% of benefits went to foreign investors
In Trump's America

91 Fortune 500 companies paid no federal taxes last year

The top 100 billionaires in America have made more than $300 billion this year
Part 2: Trump's tax proposal is a new tax cut for billionaires

He looks at all of the pain being experienced by working families - families worried about paying rent, putting food on their tables in this eco crisis, and he says: let’s give billionaires some help!
Trump has pledged to lower the max capital gains rate - the tax paid on profits from investments - to just 15% for wealthy Americans

Jamie Dimon doesn’t even think it should be that low! If the JPMorgan CEO thinks you’ve gone too far, you’ve def gone too far
If Trump succeeds with his capital gains tax cut, 99% of this giveaway will flow to the top one percent

The 100 wealthiest people in this country will receive a combined $29 billion tax cut thanks to Trump
Part 3: Biden's tax agenda

Biden will ask the super-wealthy & big corps to pay their fair share & invest that revenue in growing a stronger, more inclusive middle class: fixing our roads & bridges, giving everyone access to free comm college, lowering health care costs, &more
Biden's tax agenda, cont.

Biden will not raise taxes on any individual making less than $400,000

He'll in fact give working families tax relief

Biden is proposing >12 bold policies to help working families--tax credits for child care, health care, first down payments, & more
Part 4 of this story: America makes a choice at the ballot box

The tax contrast couldn't make this choice clearer: Trump is looking out for billionaires and big corps, Biden is looking out for working families
