Please help me explain how the infrastructure bill is paid for

I mentioned to a closet magaloon last night that President Biden was signing the Infrastructure Bill today and that It will be good for all of America and that the bill is paid for possibly by raising taxes on folks making more than 400 grand a year, he came back at me saying well the 400 grand folks who own businesses will just pass that tax along to consumers via higher prices...
How do I explain this....help

The so called magaloon is correct and you're a moron.

The true explanation is just two words and very simple: It isn't.

They really have no clue how things work.

I remember way back in the day when big tobacco lost their case and now had to pay huge settlements. The left jumped for joy. The next day, a pack of smokes went up .50 cents. Gee, I wonder why..

17. He may be into something

This is a problem, one that has no easy explanation. Saying less on this would have suited President Biden more. Those inclined towards greed will pass the buck, so to say, onto us less able to absorb the price increase. Hurting the entire Democratic party and undermining the important aspects of this historic bill. I would enjoy being wrong here and hopefully I eat my words.😁

     I remember one scant generation ago when politicians at least made reference to the cost of shit like this. We've gone from days of people having at least a passing knowledge to economics to "WELL, WE HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY FOR WAR, SO WE HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY FOR THIS!"

     In other words, DUmmies could not care less about the deficit, nor the fact that M1 is growing geometrically at this point. I am now buying things that are scarce, like precious metals. Scarcer still is the intellect of a liberal, but I wouldn't pay a plugged nickel for a bushel of that.

12. when asked that question by low-information voters, I just say...

...we tax the rich their fair share, and we close the loopholes so no one can cheat. Then I remark how people like Elon Musk and how corporations pay ZERO taxes on income and wealth, and ask if that seems fair.

It works.

She thinks it would work.  She hasn't actually tried it yet  but if she ever has the opportunity to talk to somebody who isn't a leftist like herself and subject comes up, she's sure it'll work.

It won't work.

No one has yet said what "fair share" means.  If we are talking about fair shares, then that implies everyone should pay something.

Let's bring back the old tax rates from the 1950's.

Easy.

The slave labor of your children and grandchildren. Well, your NEIGHBOR'S children and grandchildren anyway...

The Dim'Rat communists are all about having OTHER PEOPLE do the heavy lifting for what they want. Just ask the lazy bastard Bernie Sanders.

Someone needs to tell the DUmmie OP that if s/h/it is asking that question at the DUmp and expecting an actual answer s/h/it should prepare to be severely disappointed.
