Americans are paying more to offset the costs of inflation tax since President Joe Biden was elected than they pay toward federal income taxes, according to the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Americans are paying more to balance the inflation tax

Average hourly income rose from $33.60 per hour in June to $33.74 per hour in July, but when adjusted for inflation tax since the beginning of Joe Biden as president in January 2021.

At the average hourly rate for Americans of $33.60, they pay $3.08 per hour in income taxes, far less than what inflation tax has cost the average worker, according to the DCNF.

President Joe Biden’s policies are directly to blame for the inflation tax, a clear violation of his promise not to raise federal income taxes on those making less than $400,000 a year.
