“We should stop rewarding wealth and start rewarding work a little bit,” former VP Joe Biden said Friday. robtfrank has a deeper look at his tax plan.

since states started widespread lockdowns to slow the pandemic, and GDP is expected to go into freefall in the second quarter.

He spoke during an unprecedented presidential election where the pandemic and economic collapse — and Trump's response — have overshadowed any other issue. The virus has forced both major party candidates to stop in-person events for more than two months as the incumbent tries to defend a virus response that critics such as Biden have called sluggish and inadequate.

In a statement responding to Biden's remarks, White House spokesman Judd Deere said Trump "has provided state and local leaders with data-driven guidelines to reopen their communities in safe, responsible ways, helped states ramp up their testing capabilities, and surged critical [personal protective equipment] and other supplies where they are needed." He added that the president has taken steps to "ensure we emerge stronger than ever before.

While the president and many of his GOP allies push to restart businesses now to boost growth, Biden said "the way to fix the economy is get the public health response correct."
