Biden backs corporate tax hike to fund infrastructure

CBS, 06 Apr 2021
President Biden is defending a plan to raise the top corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% to fund his $2 trillion "American Jobs Plan," noting the rate was much higher for decades until President Trump cut it in 2017. CBS News senior White House and political correspondent Ed O'Keefe, Washington Post national political reporter Jacqueline Alemany, and Axios justice and race reporter Russell Contreras join CBSN's "Red & Blue" host Elaine Quijano to discuss what comes next.
