President Biden on Tuesday fired back at Rick Scott after the Republican senator called on him to resign, saying "the man has a problem," while slamming his "ultra-MAGA" tax proposal. 

The president, during remarks on inflation Tuesday, pointed to a tax plan rolled out by Scott, R-Fla., titled the "11 Point Plan to Rescue America," which proposed raising income taxes on Americans.

"All Americans should pay some income tax to have skin in the game, even if a small amount," Scott wrote in the plan. "Currently over half of Americans pay no income tax."

The president slammed the proposal, calling it an "ultra-MAGA" plan that would "raise taxes on 75 million Americans," while sunsetting programs like Social Security and Medicare."

Scott, R-Fla., on Tuesday, responding to Biden, told Fox News that the president is "confused," and has made inflation worse, not better. 

Scott repeated that the easiest thing Biden could do is resign, and said "that's what he ought to do because he's making it worse every month." "It's always somebody else's problem.
