WASHINGTON – Mitch McConnell is adamant that raising taxes on corporations to pay for President Joe Biden’s infrastructure package is something Republicans are “not going to do.”
But the Senate Republican Minority Leader is floating an alternative: Leveraging private sector funds and attaching user fees -- with the potential of adding other types of taxes to keep from adding to the national debt.
“The users of our infrastructure,” McConnell said on WHAS, a local Kentucky radio station, “have always been the ones who have principally paid for it.”
