Nationalist in name only. Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images Donald Trump believes that tailoring U.S. tax policy to the preferences of the American people — rather than to those of multinational corporations and their lobbyists — constitutes a “globalist betrayal” of the United States and an act of “economic surrender” to “special interests” and their lobbyists. Orwellian denunciation of Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan would suggest. On Wednesday, the White House unveiled its plan to rebuild the U.S. economy on corporate America’s dime. Specifically, the administration outlined $2 trillion of investments in infrastructure, green technology, and eldercare, along with an array of taxes on wealthy Americans and corporations — among them, an increase in the corporate tax rate from 21 to 28 percent and an increase in the minimum rate that U.S. corporations must pay on profits earned abroad from 10.5 percent to 21 percent.

As the Times notes, it’s not known what Gaetz or the Trump administration knew about the inquiry, which … [Read more...] about Matt Gaetz Sought a Pre-emptive Pardon From Trump: Report
