WASHINGTON—Joe Biden, former vice president and presumptive Democratic nominee for president, has proposed to reform the U.S. tax code to make it “more progressive and equitable,” as stated in the “Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force Recommendations.”

While proponents applaud the plan for addressing wealth and income inequality, critics argue that it would raise taxes on the majority of Americans and hurt the economy.
