WASHINGTON, 16 Sep. The wealthiest Americans underpay billions of dollars in taxes, said US President Joe Biden. «The top 1% dodges the $ 160 billion in taxes they have to pay every year,» Biden said in an address to Americans. According to him, big corporations should pay honest taxes. «I'm not going to punish anyone, I'm a capitalist. If you can make a million or a billion dollars, God bless you. All I'm asking is to pay your fair share, like middle-class people do. But this is not happening now,» he said According to Biden, regulators simply do not know how much the wealthiest citizens are making, so they cannot tell when they are evading taxes. Biden has reportedly proposed raising the corporate tax and capital gains tax as part of the budget plan by 3 , 5 trillion dollars. Biden proposes to raise the corporate tax rate from the current 21% to 28%, for capital gains from the current 20% to 39.6%, the American media reported earlier.
