‘Infrastructure’ Bill Would Break Biden’s Pledge to Not Raise Taxes on Income Less than $400,000

President Joe Biden gave a speech on Thursday about the economy, claiming that Americans making under $400,000 would not see a tax increase despite the ‘infrastructure’ bill raising tax brackets over time if passed.
