    Nope. The figure is $3.6 trillion over 10 years.

    [The Biden Administration on May 28, 2021, released its fiscal year (FY) 2022 budget…the Biden Administration proposes to increase taxes on the wealthy and corporations and to enhance Internal Revenue Service (IRS) compliance, information and enforcement initiatives, projected to raise $3.6 trillion in revenues over a decade.]

    And in the future, another $4 trillion in taxes on the wealthy.

      Your own link from earlier has this right in the header’s bullet points in reference to the bill that was actually signed into law not an analysis of a proposal from a year and a half prior:

      The more than $430 billion package is expected to reduce the deficit by more than $300 billion over a decade.

      The wealthy haven’t had their taxes increased so I don’t know where this $4T is supposed to come from unless IRS audits are going to find $4T worth of unpaid revenue.

        so I don’t know where this $4T is supposed to come from

        Because you didn’t read the link. It is precisely detailed where it comes from.
