Biden: We Have A Clear “Mandate” To Raise Taxes…
e Biden told reporters on Air Force Two today that last night’s election represented a clear “mandate” to raise taxes.
“Where specifically do you think Republicans will be willing to compromise on issues of debt/deficit?” a pool reported asked Biden.
“Well look, I think — You guys have probably looked at the internals of the vote more than I have so far,” said Biden. “But from what it appears is that, on the issue of the tax issue, there was a clear, a clear sort of mandate about people coming much closer to our view about how to deal with tax policy. I think we can move, I’d like to see us, I think we can do something on corporate taxes sooner than later. That would be positive, be a little confidence-building. And you know I just think it’s going to take time for the Republicans to sort of digest what the consequences for them internally.”
