1. Socialism is worse. Even Biden supports a public option, which would be another disastrous entitlement program, bankrupt many insurers and hospitals, and throw tons of people off their healthcare plans (healthcare becomes less of a perk when it can also be gotten free, so businesses would stop offering it). Plus, it'd put too many lives into the hands of government and expand the role of government too much. People fail to talk about this, but even Biden would raise taxes by a trillion + more than Clinton would have, and I didn't vote for her either.
You're just making stuff up about Biden here. Biden is not proposing to raise taxes by even as much as Clinton was, much less 1 trillion more than Clinton. Meanwhile, a public option is not an entitlement, you are confusing it with single payer when they are two extremely different things. People have to pay for the public option.

$2.2 trillion more.
It's time to reduce the size of government, not expand by trillions of dollars. Even the Democratic "moderates" are no moderates at all.
Ah, the difference here is that we're not taking the 2017 tax cuts into account.
I guess the more accurate thing to say is that Biden's proposed tax rates are lower than those that Clinton proposed. But they would raise more revenue, relative to the current position, because since Clinton's proposals the taxes have been substantially cut.
For example (with made up numbers), if a rate was 20% under Obama and Clinton wanted to raise it to 30%, that's a 10% increase. Then if Biden wanted it to be 27%, but Trump cut it to 15%, that's a 12% increase. But Biden's 27% is less than Clinton's 30%.
