Ignore the debate over whether the Inflation Reduction Act raises taxes on those making $400,000 or less.
[ad_1] As Congress is about to pass inflation reduction act, Washington is once again debating very little. It’s about whether Democrats are violating President Biden’s pledge not to raise taxes on families earning $400,000 or less annually.
