Do you know the context for that quote?

Yes. Which negates any ideas Biden has mentioned raising taxes on the wealthy.

In the same speech he also told wealthy donors income inequality is not the fault of the wealthy. He was begging the donor class to support him.

Nina Turner was right. Iā€™m no longer going to choose between a bowl of šŸ’© and a half bowl of šŸ’©

3/4ā€™s of US Americans believe taxes should be raised for the wealthiest Americans

(Well, if you knew the context you would know that absolutely something fundamental needs to change)

...if you knew the context you wouldn't be writing out disinformation. He said that wealthy people being taxed at higher rates would not fundamentally change their lifestyle, which is true. Someone making 500k and being taxed 20% would not see a substantial change if it raised to 30, 40, even 50%.

So he agrees with you.

Cheers.
