Biden wants another $2 TRILLION from U.S. taxpayers!

It was only a few months ago that Reason described Joe Biden's spending spree as president as "unprecedented."

It was in just eight months that Biden pushed the national debt from $30 trillion to $31 trillion, spending that much more than the government took in.

His spending totaled $3.37 trillion in just two years, including the $1.8 trillion "American Rescue Plan," the $785 billion "Infrastructure" spending, the $278 billion "Toxics" plan, the $255 billion CHIPS Act, and such.

And he's wanting to spend trillions more, handing out cancelation notices for student debt – a fight that is before the Supreme Court now.

So at some point the bill comes due, and the Hill is reporting that's now, with Biden's new budget proposing new taxes "he says will reduce the deficit by $2 trillion over the next decade."

He is claiming the taxes will be paid by "the wealthy and big corporations."

Already, there's a plan for a raise in the Medicare surtax on earned and unearned income above $400,000 from 3.8 percent to 5 percent.

Biden also wants those worth more than $100 million to pay a 20 percent tax on income and the unrealized gains of liquid assets such as stocks.

Biden also wants to quadruple the stock buyback tax, and increase the top marginal income tax to 39.6%.

In a related issue, there's no shortage of ideas in the Biden administration on how to spend even more.

The Washington Times reports Biden is calling for a 5.2% pay hike for all federal employees. That would be on top of the 4.6% hike from his executive order in December.

That would be the largest pay increase for roughly 2 million federal workers since President Jimmy Carter proposed a 9.1% increase in 1980.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Long the world’s most Christian nation, America today is being taken over by a new “official” national religion, one being imposed on the entire populace by every major societal institution, from government, media and big tech, to academia, entertainment and business.

This new state religion is Wokeism. “Going woke” conjures up visions of someone claiming to be acutely sensitive (“awake”) to “systemic social and political injustice.” And not just alleged bigotry against blacks, but toward every other “minority” as well, from LGBT folk – especially everything transgender and “nonbinary” – to “undocumented immigrants.” All of them, being VICTIMS, intrinsically more virtuous than the shameful oppressor class: primarily heterosexual white males.

This new “woke” consciousness has turned America upside-down – from the nationwide Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, to tearing down of historic monuments, to demanding multi-million-dollar reparation payments for blacks, to appointing transgenders as top government officials, to rampant reverse discrimination in every area of life, to the U.S. military imposing mandatory “diversity training” and transgender pronoun use on all personnel, causing recruitment to disastrously plummet.

Yet there is hope. Being “saved” – which in Wokeism is called being “woke” – is largely a matter of worshipping victimhood by becoming an “ally” and “defender” of all the many victim classes, and a determined enemy of the straight white male oppressor class. Thus, “joining the righteous” as an ally – even if one is cursed to be a straight white male – opens the door mercifully for salvation, even to the most wretched.

That is the power of the religion of Wokeism. And it’s explored as never before in the February 2023 issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine. If you’ve ever wondered, for example, exactly how the most radical elements in American society are successfully pressuring the biggest corporations into adopting the most outrageous and immoral policies imaginable, even when doing so permanently damages and devalues the company, the stunning answers are in this issue of Whistleblower, titled “WOKEISM: AMERICA’S OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION.”
