A little truth on Biden's tax plan - whether you like the truth or just like being gaslit by the gaslighter in chief.
From the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) - an independent think tank. California, being affected the most is shown here as the example.
Biden’s plan would generate over $289 billion in tax revenue, according to research from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP). About 1.9% of the U.S. population would see an increase in taxes.

The ITEP data broke down the impact by state. Population has a major impact on the overall total in tax increases.
Who actually pays
With its massive population of over 39.5 million people and median income of $71,228, it’s no surprise that California would see the highest tax increases under Biden’s plan.
On Biden’s campaign website, it states that “he won’t ask a single person making under $400,000 per year to pay a penny more in taxes.”
Here’s what the ITEP research shows.
On average, the bottom 95% in California will see no change in their taxes, even though collectively their tax bill may increase or decrease, according to ITEP. It’s those in the top 5% that will see a higher bill, with those making $347,200 to $948,300 a year paying $5,310 more on average each year. Those in the top 1% would see their tax bill increase by $279,300 on average.

In total, the state would see a $54.6 billion more in tax revenue.
