deficit spending and options to pay for their infrastructure bill they re working on now. progressives are advocating for a wealth tax. the white house is reportedly focused on increasing the corporate tax rate, raising income taxes for those making more than $400,000 a year and other tax hikes that would impact the rich. biden president biden seems to realize that republicans are not going to get on board for this. i ll get the democratic votes for a tax increase. if we took the tax raise back when bush was president, 6%, that would raise $230 billion. because republicans have lined up against it, there s new pressure for democrats to strap the filibuster. moderates like joe manchin oppose nuking filibuster. president biden indicated he s open to the idea. republicans are calling it a power grab and they re warning democrats could use the change for immigration reform. they re prepare to steam roll the senate into a body like the house because they get in the way of
republicans believe this president s for that. this administration is failing across the board. they are failing in our immigration policy in securing our border and ensuring our sovereignty. they are failing when it comes to the basic checkbook issues for american families and they are failing on the international stage. look at what we are seeing in grocery stores. cereal and baked products. meat, chicken, fish, acceptable .8%. fruits and vegetables up 4%. if you wanted to take a meal out, that s up 6% if you re going to a restaurant. edward lawrence live on the north lawn, thank you. gillian: it s bring in david asman of fox business. david, republican kevin mccarthy put out a statement this morning and he said the impact on families is such that household making $50,000 in 2020 would need $3400 a year more to have the same buying power right
hire employees, saying they can t compete with unemployment benefits, hitting a record 9.3 million in april, senator lindsey graham revealing members of his own family have not gone back to work because they can make more at home. i ve got a lot of people in my family who ain t working, i will show you some in my family so bottom line is, there are people out there, they are not bad people but they are not going to work for $15 an hour if they make 23 unemployed. it doesn t make you a bad person. if you re working for $15 an hour that makes him almost a chump. dana: telling gregor biden administration is to blame for the labor shortage. it s a two-person household making $800 each in unemployment benefits, that s about $83,000 a year. the median household income is only $67,000 a year so you can stay home and exceed median income because right now they are preventing us from getting
