| 2001 Tax Cuts |
Biden: The war in Iraq is costing this nation over $100 billion a year. Tax cuts for the wealthiest one percent – those who make an average of $1.4 million a year – are costing more than $85 billion a year. Joe Biden believes it is time for new priorities. By ending the war and repealing the George Bush’s tax cuts for the top one percent of Americans, we will gain an additional $185 billion a year in revenue that Joe Biden would put to better uses by investing in education and making preschool available to all, improving health care, extending tax breaks for college tuition, doubling investments in alternative energy technology, upgrading neglected infrastructure and improving homeland security.
