Submitted by John Kartch and Alexander Hendrie via Americans for Tax Reform,

Hillary Clinton has made clear she intends to dramatically raise taxes on the American people if elected. She has proposed an income tax increase, a business tax increase, a death tax increase, a capital gains tax increase, a tax on stock trading, an "Exit Tax" and more (see below). Her planned net tax increase on the American people is at least $1 trillion over ten years, based on her campaign’s own figures.

Hillary has endorsed several tax increases on middle income Americans, despite her pledge not to raise taxes on any American making less than $250,000. She has said she would be fine with a payroll tax hike on all Americans, she has endorsed a steep soda tax, endorsed a 25% national gun tax, and most recently, her campaign manager John Podesta said she would be open to a carbon tax. It’s no wonder that when asked by ABC's George Stephanopoulos if her pledge was a "rock-solid" promise, she slipped and said the pledge was merely a “goal.” In other words, she's going to raise taxes on middle income Americans.

Hillary’s formally proposed $1 trillion net tax increase consists of the following:

Income Tax Increase – $350 Billion: Clinton has proposed a $350 billion income tax hike in the form of a 28 percent cap on itemized deductions.

Business Tax Increase -- $275 Billion: Clinton has called for a tax hike of at least $275 billion through undefined business tax reform, as described in a Clinton campaign document.

“Fairness” Tax Increase --$400 Billion: According to her published plan, Clinton has called for a tax increase of “between $400 and $500 billion” by “restoring basic fairness to our tax code.” These proposals include a

if they get a 25% tax on guns they will soon have a 200%tax on guns.

If they get a 1% tax they will soon have a 200% tax

But destroying new sales is only half their goal- they want you to get rid of the ones you have now.

Trump should say he is going to make a gun control speech

Then anounce his program is a mandatory firearms safety class in high schools for every student, teaching them proper gun control, safety, and handling

That would make liberals’ heads explode and we could then deal with reality

Maybe if Hillary wins we should all “go on the dole” intentionally to collapse the entire system because paying a system that is not worthy of our work is useless and just like bashing your head against the wall...

""restoring basic fairness to our tax code"These days, what does that mean?"

Underlying and fueling progressive socialism is the green-eyed monster called envy who speaks in terms of what is fair and what is not fair. Unfairness requires redistribution of wealth, land, resources, vastly higher taxes, and a daily psychological beat-down of all who are objects of the Burning Eye of Envy.

He should say that he has “seen the light” in terms of “gun control” from studying europe.... then pause for a second and then resume with “Switzerland does gun control the best”

Then say that since the left things rights are “material thing” that according tot he second amendment the state is obligated to provide everyone who is a citizen in good standing with a state provided firearm..

Watch the libtard heads turn into mini-mushroom clouds...

Bwahahahaha

Remember the Elite Republicans prefer Hillary over Trump. Ditto a number of self professing Christians including a good number of Baptists whose posts I have read over the last months , saying they , in good conscience, could not vote for Donald. What they actually mean, is they were Hillary supporters and voters all along. They are just ashamed to admit it .

Consider that $1T over 10 years is only $100B/yr. Her spending will increase $1.5T or #150B/yr.
That’s Chump change! They credit Obama with decreasing the deficit but this year it will jump to over $600B. By 2019, without doing anything it will go up to $1T again.
