It’s too bad hat quote gets brought up as an anti-Biden thing when it was one of the somewhat cool things he said.

I think the reason is “nothing will fundamentally change” is a pretty accurate description of moderate Democrats, but that particular statement was actually progressive-ish rhetoric. His idea of higher taxes (or more accurately what you’ll be taxing) isn’t going to match progressives, but they’re both sold as “rich people paying their fair share” not ripping their ill-gotten gains away from them.
