Of course they do. Umbrage sells votes because it twists emotions.

In all, the American Families Plan includes $1.8 trillion in investments and tax credits for American families and children over ten years. It consists of about $1 trillion in investments and $800 billion in tax cuts for American families and workers. Alongside the American Families Plan, the President will be proposing a set of measures to make sure that the wealthiest Americans pay their share in taxes, while ensuring that no one making $400,000 per year or less will see their taxes go up. When combined with President Biden’s American Jobs Plan, this legislation will be fully paid for over 15 years, and will reduce deficits over the long term.

Will all this taxing of the wealthiest Americans provide them with the impetus to leave the country, I wonder.

idk, I was thinking about it, most of them have legal avoidance down pat so maybe they will adjust to the new normal, stay put and continue with the legal avoidances possible. Are they talking about the people who straight up don't pay their taxes here? I'm not sure what exactly they are planning to enact, a blanket XX% of income, how are they planning to enforce payment.

I think it's the federal government attempting to gain more power to control the economy and remove power from the private sector. They want to create and manage all of these new "high paying jobs", which they can pay people whatever they want because they will just print more money or create more debt to pay those wages. Government projects are almost never, ever efficiently run, so giving the government more "money" and power over the economy from the private sector will create a lot more stress on the private sector. They won't be able to complete with the inflated printed money the government is handing out to their new jobs, so on top of the corporate tax increase in the infrastructure and whatever tax increases in this new plan, it will end up hurting a lot of business owners and workers.
Allocating funds to hire private sector for a lot of these jobs would be better, but they keep saying "create high paying jobs" which seems to mean they are just trying to make a large power grab.

This is ALL propaganda.
It is not enough to restore where we were prior to the pandemic
So, MAGA. Okay. Which, incidentally, pre-pandemic would have been the strong economy and record low poverty levels before Biden was forced in.
he knows
This is deliberate. If Biden said "I know", it would have been seen as favorably as some anonymous third party endorsing him.
spark innovation and manufacturing here at home
You don't do that by increasing taxes on businesses and the wealthy. They move their money AND their jobs out of the country. But details, right?
helping families cover the basic expenses
That's their responsibility, not mine.
lowering health insurance premiums
By what, bring back the "I'm a Living American" tax that you had to pay for insurance that crippled health insurance coverage? Insurance is not health care. Insurance is a business. This would force the business to cut corners elsewhere or leave markets altogether (which is what we saw under Obamacare).
Add at least four years of free education
So beyond community college, you're going to hijack private businesses, awesome.
access to high school became more widely available at the turn of the 20th Century, it made us the best-educated and best-prepared nation in the world
No, it did not. It was people who didn't whine about working. They're called "The Greatest Generation" for a reason and it's not because they went to war. It's because they rolled up their sleeves and did something today's generation is afraid of: Hard. Work.
12 years is not enough today
Oh, so government mandated education just isn't enough. But he just said that education was the key and they want to provide more "not enough" education. lulz.
universal, quality-preschool to all three- and four- year-olds
Yeah, no. Preschool doesn't actually accomplish anywhere near as much as parents. Focus on the economy, not the education, and parents can actually educate and be with their children. Then the problems go away. This is not something you can throw money at and expect a quick response. Plus, this standardizes preschool to a government standard that is "not enough."
It will provide Americans two years of free community college.
Community college is already free when you get into grants that are available to just about everyone.
making college more affordable for low- and middle-income students
Get your nose out of the college loan business and this problem goes away. Studies have shown the federal assistance programs actually create racial education divides by incentivizing colleges to invest in students differently according to the programs they offer instead of providing equal access to education that prepares them.
including students at <various minority campuses>
Gotta virtue signal. Tell me, what good does it do little Joey for you to throw money at Shinaque's education when they're both dirt poor? Nothing. Talk about pure racism. So much for real equality. Or what was the word they like to use now? "Equity."
workers struggle to both hold a full-time job and care for themselves and their families
Don't have kids you can't afford then, maybe. It's not rocket surgery.
ensure that low- and middle-income families spend no more than seven percent of their income on child care
So we all have to pay for some little snot nosed punk that the parents can't afford and don't themselves invest in. Great. More kids in crappy schools to create lower income and lower IQ neighborhoods.
the child care they access is of high-quality
So you're saying that the education the government provides now is crappy. You already said that. How are you going to make people smarter by providing more crappy education? You had decades to get it right. Instead, you gave us things like Core Math, something that does not prepare children for the real world because computers don't care how you understand it, they require specific inputs.
The system will also allow people to manage their health and the health of their families
By, what, banning flavored cigarettes? Legalizing marijuana?
provide critical nutrition assistance to families who need it most and expand access to healthy meals to our nation’s students – dramatically reducing childhood hunger.
Already exists. These programs all already exist!
Extend tax cuts for families with children
So a government breeding incentive program.
too many families and workers feel the squeeze of too-low wages and the high costs
Go get a different job. Ask for a raise. Or maybe get a job in a field besides gender studies and art therapy.
meeting their basic needs and their aspirations
So much for working towards your dreams. The government is going to just give it to you now. Next up: Riots over the government not giving them more.
At the same time, the wealthiest Americans continue to get further and further ahead
Because you haven't fixed the tax loopholes that people figure out and exploit. Fix the tax code!
The American Families Plan will extend key tax cuts in the American Rescue Plan that benefit lower- and middle-income workers and families
They already pay nothing or next to nothing? You gonna just give them money now?
Man, I'm done. I'm not going to go through this whole thing because I'd be at it all day.
I'm going to laugh like a maniac when this gets put into motion and gets gutted by executive order by the next president.
This is ALL propaganda.

You missed one point. The free preschool thing is not about education at all. It's about enforcing all parents needing to work and giving tax payer funded babysitting. Biden previously referred to the situation of massive amounts of women leaving the workforce to be stay at home moms during covid as a horrible pandemic of its own. This is his carrot on a stick to break down families again.

$1.8 trillion "American Family Plan that has nothing to do with American families and $2.3 trillion "Infrastructure" plan that has nothing to do with infrastructure.

So what does the infrastructure plan have to do with then? Pity if its not actually about crumbling highways and bridges.

Only about 10-15% of the infrastructure plan actually goes towards what most people considered infrastructure - roads, waterways, bridges, electric grid and communications. Most of the rest of it are things like subsidizing electric vehicles, subsidizing retrofitting buildings to be more "green", low income housing allocations, elderly housing allocations, a 7% corporate tax increase, workforce development (?) whatever that is.
Just a huge pork bill to slip in a lot of agenda that has nothing to do with infrastructure. There is a counter proposal to just do $600 billion for actual infrastructure and only infrastructure which is a much better option.

Yeah and fools put this idiot in office, this $1.8 trillion "American Family Plan" on top of the $2.3 trillion "Infrastructure" plan is geared to the illegal Immigrants. Google for yourself on his amnesty plans. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/01/20/fact-sheet-president-biden-sends-immigration-bill-to-congress-as-part-of-his-commitment-to-modernize-our-immigration-system/

useful idiots? Lets be realistic about the amount of open manipulation through social medias.

This is after the $1.9 trillion "Covid Relief" package. If those both are approved, that would be over $6 trillion in under 3 months.
RIP the dollar, hello hyperinflation.
