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

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

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..

Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Many people do not see evil until the gas is flowing into the chamber. That is why they get on the trains in the first place.

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.

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.
