Asked How Raising Taxes Lowers Costs for Americans, Karine Jean-Pierre Points to Climate Change

‘We encourage those who have done very well, especially those who care about climate change, to support a fairer tax code’
By Grabien Staff

TRANSCRIPT:

DOOCY: "But how does raising taxes on corporations lower the cost of gas, the cost of a used car, the cost of food for everyday Americans?"

JEAN-PIERRE: "So, look, I think we encourage those who have done very well, especially those who care about climate change, to support a fairer tax code that doesn’t change ⁠— that doesn’t charge manufacturers' workers, cops, builders a higher percentage of their earnings, the most fortunate people in our nation, and not let that stand in the way of reducing energy costs and fighting this existential problem, if you think about that as an example."
