The president's promise to start narrowing income and wealth gaps underpins every part of his economic program.

The proposed top 39.6 percent tax bracket in the administration's “American Families Plan” would encompass less than 1 percent of taxpayers.

The president holds some advantages in pushing for what would be a massive expansion of the government.

The president is on the road to sell his plans to build infrastructure and invest in education, child care and other priorities.

President Biden’s American Families Plan would provide tax credits for families and low-income workers, but eliminate a popular tax break for inheritances and raise taxes on capital gains.

The proposal won’t affect couples with incomes below $400,000 — but could impact couples who together exceed that threshold.

The president declared the U.S. has turned the corner on a pandemic that’s killed more than half a million Americans.

The president called for higher taxes on the rich to fund a massive investment in the nation’s social safety net.

The sweeping $1.8 trillion plan would be funded in part by the largest tax increases on wealthy Americans in decades.

The 10-year plan would ramp up federal support for American families, with a major expansion in spending on child care, paid leave and education.
