Biden visits his Pennsylvania hometown to call for more taxes on rich

President Joe Biden embarked on a nostalgic journey to his childhood home in Scranton, Pennsylvania, as part of a three-day campaign across the state.

Amidst discussing policies, Biden took moments to reminisce, lingering at his former residence and engaging with neighbors and children.

In his bid to gain ground in a crucial battleground, Biden aimed to reframe economic discussions, advocating for higher taxes on the wealthy and contrasting his approach with that of Donald Trump.

Biden emphasized the importance of a fairer tax code, aiming to keep more money in Americans’ pockets, while positioning himself as someone who understands the struggles of working-class communities like Scranton, the Associated press reported.

He proposed a 25% minimum tax rate for billionaires, framing taxes as investments in the country’s future.
