House Democrats released additional framework for the $3.5 trillion spending bill that includes raising the corporate tax rate to 26.5 percent. This increase totaling $2.9 trillion is part of a greater effort by Democrats to implement tax hikes.

House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal (D-MA) said that the proposed tax hikes will "expand opportunity" for Americans.

“On Tuesday, we will continue our work on the Build Back Better Act with the consideration of investments to provide critical support to families, spur the development of clean energy, reinstate Build America Bonds, and improve Americans’ ability to afford health care,” Neal said in a statement. “Our proposals allow us to both address our perilously changing climate and create new, good jobs, all while strengthening the economy and reinvigorating local communities. We seek to help families better afford essentials with the continuation of the expanded Child Tax Credit and investments that will lower the cost of prescriptions and health insurance premiums. And we can do all this while responsibly funding our plans. Taken together, these proposals expand opportunity for the American people and support our efforts to build a healthier, more prosperous future for the country.”
