WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will outline his administration’s goal of raising taxes on the wealthy to strengthen the middle class and boost the economy in remarks Thursday afternoon at the White House.

A White House official told NBC News that Biden will lay out “what’s at stake in the fight to ensure that our economy delivers for middle class families, and not only for those at the top.”.

“He’ll underscore that we’ve reached an inflection point where we have to choose whether or not we’re going to perpetuate an economy where the wealthiest taxpayers and biggest corporations get to play by a set of rules they’ve written for themselves, while middle-class families aren’t given a fair shot,” the official said.
