Representative Louie Gohmert of Texas said the intention of President Biden and many in Congress to tax the wealthy, as well as the energy provisions included in the “$3.5 trillion spending bill, will hurt the nation’s poor while barely affecting the country’s richest people.”
“When you hear people say we’re going to tax the ultra-wealthy, the mega-wealthy, then the middle class and the poor of America need to grab their wallets because they’re coming after you,” he said.
He stated the president’s tax plan to fund the $3.5 trillion social spending agenda has more concerning costs included in it. “They’re going to raise energy costs drastically, and they might as well call that the PPP, the penalty on poor people, because they’re the ones that get hammered. When you have stuff like this in this bill about climate change, that is going to skyrocket the price of energy. That’s inconvenient to the very wealthy, but it is devastating to the middle class and those on a fixed income,” Congressman Gohmert said
