Make no mistake, this “pay for” is a tax that will result in America’s global manufacturing competitiveness being threatened by countries like China, and consumers will pay more for a variety of goods, including some of the very items needed for infrastructure development and climate improvement. This when Americans are already struggling with spiking inflation and rising prices. This misguided ‘pay-for’ singles out the chemical industry, which has been a driver of U.S. investment and job creation over the past decade.<\/p>","date":"08\/11\/2021","tags":[{"name":"Tax","link":"\/tags\/view\/Issues\/Tax"}]},{"title":"Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal Includes New Taxes","link":"\/chemistry-in-america\/news-trends\/blog-post\/2021\/bipartisan-infrastructure-deal-includes-new-taxes","summary":"
