President Joe Biden’s US $2 trillion infrastructure plan is a “massive climate change manifesto” which has “implications for us”, according to Sky News host Alan Jones. “How’s this to be payed? Well Biden plans to lift the US corporate tax rate from 21 to 28 per cent and will reverse the tax cut that Donald Trump signed into law at the end of 2017,” Mr Jones said. “As Trump warned the American people – and now it is happening - tax increases and here they come. “This is simply Biden genuflecting to the left, to Bernie Sanders, to green religion and hiking taxes to pay for it.” Mr Jones noted former Trump White House official Marc Short has “formed a group with other Republicans” to fight back against the proposed tax increases and “pressure politicians to reject Biden’s infrastructure plan”. “Don’t say that Donald Trump didn’t warn Americans of this,” he said. “It is one thing to say wake up America, I am saying it is time we all woke up.”
