WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden, in his battle to craft a winning message on the fight to tame decades-high inflation, has sought to tie Republicans to a plan that calls for higher taxes on low-income Americans.
There’s one problem: The GOP has disowned the proposal.
In recent days, Biden and his aides have repeatedly cited Republican Sen. Rick Scott’s “Rescue America” plan — from February. That program included a call for “all Americans” to pay “some income tax to have skin in the game.”
