Biden: Nothing Will Be More Expensive for American Families than a No Vote on the Build Back Better Plan

‘I feel we simply can’t afford to do nothing and wait and see what happens’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: “What I propose is a way to lower some of the most difficult costs families have to pay every month by asking big corporations — 40 of the Fortune 500 companies paid zero in taxes, making $40 billion in the process — and the wealthiest of Americans to pay their fair share in taxes. Look, remember, we're in a situation, as far as Republicans are concerned, they would rather the bills at your kitchen table be higher so the tax bills of corporate conference rooms and big mansions can be lower. In this case, let me tell you something. Nothing will be more expensive for American families than a 'no' vote on the Build Back Better plan. I believe we simply can’t afford to do nothing and wait and see what happens. In the moments we face today, that just isn’t a responsible course."
