Crowd Cheers Clinton's Call To 'Raise Taxes On The Middle Class'
Hillary Clinton called for raising taxes on the “middle class” while campaigning on Monday in Omaha, NE. Joined by left-wing Democrat billionaire Warren Buffett, she received applause from those in attendance.
“Because while Warren is standing up for a fairer tax code, Trump wants to cut taxes for the super-rich,” said Clinton. “Well, we’re not going there, my friends. I’m telling you, right now - we’re going to write fairer rules for the middle class and we are going to raise taxes on the middle class!”
Presumably a slip of the tongue, Clinton’s comment came amid broader Marxist-themed demagoguery about forcing “the wealthy” to “pay their fair share” of taxes.
Buffet was praised for comments he made in 2012 in which he claimed to pay a lower percentage of his income as federal tax than his secretary, feeding into the Occupy Wall Street movement’s class warfare narratives.
No comments were made about the approximately 45% of Americans who do not pay federal income taxes. In 2014, between 51 and 55 percent of total federal income taxes were paid by individuals earning $250,000 or more.
Clinton did not articulate any limiting principle as to what share of GDP should be composed of governmental spending. No upper limit for taxation was articulated, either.

Yeah. A Freudian slip of the tongue. It reveals what's truly in her mind.
From what I have read, a large portion of the audience was high school students. They really don’t care about taxes on the middle class. If they think raising taxes on the middle class will translate to free college and more free stuff for them, they are all in.

At some point they run out of other peoples’ money and THEN the fun begins, ala Zimbabwe/Venezuela.................
God help us, if she's elected (or if she succeeds in stealing the election), it'll be our turn.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
It’s not reality, but you really can’t blame high school students, or Bernie supporters (mentally not as advanced as HS students) for expecting “Free Stuff”. After all, they witness $400 Million paid in ransom, $6 Billion “lost” by the State Dept, openly funding an Iranian regime building nukes to use on us, etc., etc., so surely there must be some cash for them.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho! God Bless Texas!
My forefathers would be shooting by now!
Someone has to grow the wheat to make the bread..................Slaves make poor farmers...............
There is no proof that it was a slip of the tongue.
Zackly. It’s a knee-jerk reaction of some on our side to explain away Libturd comments and actions.
Crowd full of takers.
“Clearly you have a dizzying intellect.”
If this is not made an ad for Trump, there is no hope!
Yep. Apparently Hillary maxed out her allotment of lies for the day and the truth just slipped out.
-
Anyone that believes Hillary’s pre-Election positions will have any tether to her post-Election policy has been in a Coma for the last 8 years.
What did Bill do?
He said he wouldn’t raise taxes on the middle class and then said he had to after getting elected.
Like BHO, the Media rides shotgun and Hillary is a Queen never to be questioned.
-
Again, this is not going to happen, as long as us slaves are more than willing to work our asses off to pay for our "stuff", and pay taxes while we're at it.
We aren’t Zimbabweans or Venezuelans.
We have a different ‘outlook’.
Our bloodiest and most devastating war was the one we fought against ourselves.
The second one will be even worse.....................
