There’s no reason why millionaires and billionaires shouldn’t pay their fair share of taxes. pic.twitter.com/FJe4Qd7V7a

Joe Biden is talking about large, profitable corporations in the United States that pay little to no taxes each year. He says that there are 55 corporations that make $40 billion or more annually but pay “not a cent” in taxes. Biden acknowledges that he supports capitalism and does not have a problem with people becoming millionaires or billionaires through their businesses.
However, he believes these very large, profitable corporations should still pay their “fair share” in taxes and “chip in a little bit” to support public services and infrastructure that help enable their business success. Overall, the quote expresses Biden’s view that extremely profitable corporations should contribute more in taxes rather than avoiding them entirely.
