President Joe Biden heartily attacked Florida Republican SenRickScott's tax plan, claiming that the proposal would raise taxes on more than 6 million small business owners.
Biden's comments came at the top of a Thursday meeting at the White House with several small business owners who had received aid to float and start businesses through the American Rescue Plan."Anything and everything is possible in America, and my administration is working tirelessly to open doors for more outstanding entrepreneurs," the president stated."Unfortunately, Republicans have a different approach.
"They oppose making big corporations pay their fair share. They want middle-class families and small business owners to pay for it," he continued."Our administration estimates that the Republican proposal would raise taxes on 6.1 million small business owners, including 82% of small business owners who earn less than $50,000 a year. That's not right."
Biden claimed that Democrats want"to expand access to capital for small businesses, make historic investments in technical assistance programs, and direct hundreds of billions of dollars in government contracts to small businesses in every community." The White House and allies have escalated attacks on Scott's plan as the midterm campaign season kicks into full swing. One senior Democratic National Committee official previously told the Washington Examiner that the party expects its poor approval ratings to jump as voters hear more messaging about how the GOP plan is to"tax poor people."
