President Joe Biden’s plans to raise the corporate tax rate would have a chilling effect on economic growth, depress wages, and lead to job losses, according to the Tax Foundation, a tax policy nonprofit.

Biden and congressional lawmakers have proposed several changes to the tax code, including raising the corporate tax rate to 28 percent from the current 21 percent—the level that the Trump administration brought it down to from 35 percent.
