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 don’t think they will either. They may want to but the GOP has the senate. The momentum will be on our side if they try. Don’t forget the Dems are now the party of the rich. I personally believe that they do deserve to pay more taxes if that is the way they are going to vote.

I also remember that when the Nixon and Ford administrations were in the Democrats turned taxing the rich into a mantra they claimed they were cheating the system by not paying their taxes etc. It was a real cacophony. I was afraid we would have massive socialist level taxes on the rich and everyone else. Instead the minute they took office under Carter there was nothing heard about this. It all went away until Reagan took office.

I remember reading an article in the New Republic called “Malibu liberals” that said that when Carter naively started talking about closing the loopholes and putting their rhetoric into policy he was told by Democrat congressional leaders that there was no interest in doing so. They are phony as heck.

An increase in taxes will not result in higher taxes. In other news, the chocolate ration has been increased from 30 grams to 25 grams.

When they shut down the economy nobody has any earnings, taxes go down. Until the nation is bankrupt like Venezuela.

Biden and his Democrats will tax your gasoline company, your cell phone company, your utility companies, your insurance companies.

They’ll get massive court judgements you’ll pay for and mandate discounts for their followers you’ll pay more for.

Perhaps the tax rates on middle and lower income Americans will stay the same, but there will be hidden taxes in terms of higher costs from the green new pipe dream along with tighter regulations.

C’mon, Man!

The mere act of letting Trump’s tax cuts expire will raise my taxes around $2000 a year.

Hi.

So all the videos of slow Joe saying he will raise your taxes are not true? How about heels up Harris saying the same thing on video?

Okay...

This is true, as well. Democrats always believe that they are better at deciding how to spend money than the average peon worker collecting a paycheck and trying to feed his family.

EVERYTHING will be taxed. Then they’ll increase the size of government HUGELY in order to keep track of and collect all the new taxes. Then they’ll decide they need to do price controls to protect some entitled/dependency base of theirs, which will further raise all the costs of living.

Biden says he’s raising taxes by $4 trillion, unless he’s not.
