FALSE: CNN Says Americans ‘Unlikely’ to See Higher Taxes Under Biden
NewsBusters ^ | 11/12/2020 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 11/12/2020 11:51:29 AM PST by JV3MRC

CNN is trying to hoodwink Americans into believing that their taxes won’t increase under a Biden administration.

The network’s latest article read like a press release by former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign staff: “The vast majority of Americans are unlikely to see their taxes go up under President-elect Joe Biden, despite false claims by President Donald Trump to the contrary.” The article used the left-wing Tax Policy Center (TPC) as its source. CNN Politics writer Katie Lobosco, in her piece headlined “Will your taxes go up under Biden? It's unlikely,” reiterated the false Biden campaign position that the tax plan “wouldn't raise individual taxes on anyone earning less than $400,000 a year, which is more than 90% of taxpayers.”

That flies directly in the face of a rare fact check that ABC’s Jonathan Karl did on that same Biden claim. The irony is that Karl used the TPC, the same liberal organization Lobosco used to make her absurd claims, to do it.

I would be happy to pay more taxes if it was used for something important like allowing Hunter Biden to snort cocaine off some whore’s ass.

Why does CNN think we would have a country in such a case?

The Democrats will overreach, and the GOP will crush them in the midterms. Alison Spamburger should start looking for a new job now. What they don’t realize is that while there is a constituency composed of welfare moochers who love economic shutdowns, it isn’t a very big one. And the virtue-signaling morons who voted for Biden are gonna find out about the concept of winner’s curse.

Fact check is accurate. An adequate number of Republicans in Congress will prevent legislation to raise tax rates, and the Constitution gives only Congress, not the President, the power to alter tax rates. If somehow Republicans win either or both Senate races in Georgia and retain the seats that they apparently won in 2016, 2018, and 2020, then their leader will control the Senate calendar. The Biden regulatory regime will cripple or collapse the American economy, so unless you’re a federal bureaucrat, your income probably will drop or vanish, thus lowering your tax obligations.

“The Democrats will overreach, and the GOP will crush them in the midterms.”

If the democrats get away with stealing the presidency,it does not matter who votes for what in the midterms. They will win 100% of every race from school board on up, for ever and ever.

If they steal this, they can over reach all they want, and there is nothing I can legally talk about that you can do about it.

If Biden become president, the US is a tech-dictatorship.

Maybe the rats won’t raise everyone’s taxes, if there were some other fat, juicy places to take the the sheeples’ money from, in a trade of sorts...

Hmmm...

So, how’s YOUR 401k and savings account doing these days?

These morons at CNN don’t yet realize that the time for convincing/hoodwinking people is over? Hey shitferbrains, the voting is over; either Trump or Biden will be POTUS after January 20, stop with the Party’s propaganda!

Dems are letting them stay in this mode. They need them in the limbo phase. They’re planning to dump them like a one night stand once the smoke is cleared

I have my doubts. If that happens, I expect a Franco-ist revolt. The American right isn’t the population of Hong Kong - we’re roughly half the population of the country. We’re not only armed; we have a huge chunk of active duty, reserve and retired military among our ranks, financiers who can fund an armed insurrection and hordes of civilian supporters to provide intelligence, safe houses, storage, et al. Think Spanish Civil War - American Edition.
