Joe Biden is telling tales again.
This time, however, he has been caught.
After making a post on Twitter about taxes for the rich, the post was immediately fact-checked and found to be false.
You Lied!
Here is Biden’s post…
Look, I think you should be able to be a billionaire if you can earn it, but just pay your fair share.
I think you ought to pay a minimum tax of 25%.
It’s about basic fairness. pic.twitter.com/oHgreYCdUz

This claim has been refuted many times.
If you click on that tweet and look at it on Twitter, you see will see the multiple links that have refuted that claim.
One of the most recent came from CNN.
That post stated, “Once more, Biden’s ‘3%’ claim is incorrect.
“For the third time in less than a month, Biden inaccurately described a 2021 finding from economists in his administration that the wealthiest 400 billionaire families paid an average of 8.2% of their income in federal individual income taxes between 2010 and 2018; after CNN inquired about Biden’s ‘3%’ claim in the late-January speech, the White House published a corrected transcript of that speech to make it ‘8%’ instead.
“Also, it’s important to note that even the 8% number is contested, since it is an alternative calculation that includes unrealized capital gains that are not treated as taxable income under federal law.”
If only the media fact-checked Biden that quickly during press conferences.
