raising taxes vs. raising tax rates.  You understand the distinction? 
 
Plus, Biden himself is saying it's going to raise taxes.  The disagreement is whether it will hit the middle class.

Now that's a new one, 400k is middle class.

Who said that?

anyway if you want Crapo's actual opinion on what this bill does, maybe don't rely on a clip that cuts off after 16 seconds to intentionally obscure his meaning.

For being so critical of 'fake news' your side has really become quite adept at perpetuating it. It's hard to take any Republicans 'actual opinion' seriously these days when we know they're usually arguing in bad faith, particularly their elected officials.

Are you telling me you think the Senate Democrats twitter account is an objective news source on Republican positions?   Or that it doesn't matter whether it's reliable or not because GOP=bad  so it's ok to make up stuff?

What, exactly, is the distinction? If tax rates do not increase, there is no mechanism for someone to pay more taxes to the government unless they earn more money. You can say that someone would indirectly pay more taxes to the government through corporate tax rates and the like but the typical American doesn't see this as a "tax" and it's very disingenuous for Republicans to try to spin possible indirect tax increases as direct tax increases.

A person can pay more in taxes at the same tax rate if they lose the ability to deduct.  Or they can pay more in sales taxes if prices go up.  Maybe Crapo isn't talking about that though, I don't know. I'd be interested in knowing what he was claiming, but I only have this 16 second gotcha clip put out by the Democrats courtesy of the OP.  I tried to look up the press conference myself but searching "IRA", "finance", and "republicans" gave me something completely different.
