Major Tax Increases Proposed in Biden’s 2024 Budget
Posted On March 15, 2023  By Aquiles Suarez  And has 2 Comments

President Joe Biden submitted his proposed fiscal year 2024 federal budget to Congress on March 9. It contains numerous tax increases that repeatedly failed to clear the House of Representatives and Senate even when these chambers were controlled by Democrats.
