币界网报道:U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen defended the Biden administration's proposed tax increases on corporations and high-income individuals during a House hearing, arguing they are necessary to fund critical infrastructure and social programs. She faced pushback from Republican lawmakers who claimed the measures would harm economic growth. Yellen emphasized the plan's focus on closing loopholes and ensuring wealthy Americans pay their "fair share," while downplaying concerns over potential impacts on investment or job creation. The Treasury estimates the tax changes could raise over $2 trillion in revenue over a decade to offset spending proposals like the American Jobs Plan.
