    Biden told rich donors, “If you pay more in taxes, nothing will fundamentally change.” That is, the union will not fall because they didn’t get tax cuts. Don’t be disingenuous about what actually happened.

      Please don’t spread misinformation by including something in quotes that is your own editorialization. The actual quote is 10 seconds of googling away:

      “We can disagree in the margins but the truth of the matter is it’s all within our wheelhouse and nobody has to be punished. No one’s standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change.”

          The correct way wasn’t necessarily to look it up but prefacing the quote with said something like so that we knew you were paraphrasing from memory. Maybe even append IIRC.
