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.

This is getting no airtime. That is why Trump needs to spend some media and run this out on an ad. If Trump says that losing means he did this for nothing.... then he best grab every opportunity and not just be influenced by the size of his crowds.
Yes probably just misspoke but the knuckle dragging audience of dozens liked it so she may use it again.
Just not gonna happen. No way it does, and for the same reason many people don't show up for rallies & protests: Gotta work to pay mortgage/rent, car payments, insurance premiums, utilities bills, groceries, etc. The moment someone stands, that all goes away. We have been enslaved, although we like to mistakenly believe otherwise.
It will have gone away long before someone stands.............

Yep. Like your money, your guns, your property, and your freedom. But people by the millions will vote for the bitch anyway.
Not if it's fought SMART, by taking out THOSE WHO GIVE THE ORDERS instead of going head-to-head against their minions. Cut off the head and the snake will die.
Yep. The old “middle class” SOW is now emaciated and the
little piglets are still latched onto her tits sucking
frantically and getting mostly air.
No society is ever more than three meals away from revolution.............Trotsky, et al................
If you or someone else at FR has that picture of Her Heinous saying that very thing, I want it as ammo.....
Thanks!
She also stated a while back that she preferred the English system of government with a Parliament.
What she meant is that England has no Constitution.
