The Proposal

Washington — President Biden intends to propose a minimum tax of 20% on households worth more than $100 million and cut projected budget deficits by more ...

Mr. Biden inherited from the Trump administration a budget deficit that was equal in size to 14.9% of the entire U.S. economy. The fading of the pandemic and the growth has enabled the deficit to fall from $3.1 trillion in fiscal 2020 to $2.8 trillion last year and a projected $1.4 trillion this year. Mr. Biden and U.S. allies are also providing aid to Ukrainians who are fighting against Russian forces, a war that could possibly reshape spending priorities and the broader economic outlook. Republican lawmakers have said that the Biden administration's spending over the past year has led to greater economic pain in the form of higher prices. The added jobs mean additional tax revenue, with the government likely collecting $300 billion more in revenues compared to fiscal 2021, a 10% increase. In October, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden pitched an annual tax on billionaires that would have focused on "unrealized gains" from assets, but Republicans and some Democrats raised objections. The minimum tax would effectively prevent the wealthiest sliver of America from paying lower rates than families who think of themselves as middle class, while helping to generate revenues to fuel Mr. Biden's domestic ambitions and keep the deficit in check, relative to the U.S. economy. "Washington Democrats' response to these hardships has been as misguided as the war on American energy and runaway spending that helped create them," McConnell said last week. One White House official, insisting on anonymity because the budget has yet to be released, said the proposal shows that Democrats can deliver on what Republicans have promised before without much success: faster growth and falling deficits. It's a sign that the government's balance sheet will improve after a historic burst of spending to combat the coronavirus. That deficit spending paid off in the form of the economy expanding at a 5.7% pace last year, the strongest growth since 1984. The introduction of the minimum tax on the wealthiest Americans would represent a significant reorienting of the tax code.

“Stretching payment over multiple years will smooth year-to-year variation in investment income, while still ensuring that the wealthiest end up paying a minimum tax rate of 20 percent.” Wyden called for taxing the annual appreciation of those assets. If enacted, such a plan would likely be challenged as a violation of the Constitution’s restriction on so-called direct taxes, an antiquated term referring to levies imposed directly on someone that can’t be shifted onto someone else. The administration says that would hit the top 0.01 percent of households, generating $360 billion over the next decade, with half of that coming from billionaires.

And if enacted, the proposal would surely be challenged as a violation of an arcane restriction in the Constitution on taxation.

Over half the revenue could come from those worth more than $1 billion. If a wealthy household is already paying 20% on their full income, they won't pay an additional tax under the proposal. The swift economic recovery after pandemic lows is also a factor in lowering the deficit.
