‘A lot of Americans supporting’ Joe Biden’s proposal to ‘tax the super-rich’

University of Melbourne International Relations Professor Michael Wesley says a lot of Americans are “supporting” US President Joe Biden’s proposal to “start taxing the super-rich”. Mr Wesley said it would be a “real point of demarcation” between Biden and Donald Trump. “If it gets up and it is popular, it would end a long period of time of which taxes were seen as a bad thing.” Mr Wesley says there are “so many unknowns” about the 2024 Presidential race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. “Whether it be the trials that Donald Trump faces, you could have something as basic as a major fall for Biden or a massive gaff during one of his campaign speeches or indeed something happening internationally.”
