There has been a lot of news dropping today.
But there’s one thing that’s incredibly important not to miss.
Remember how Joe Biden insisted that he wouldn’t be raising taxes on the middle class? That ultimately his ‘plan’ was only going to hit the people making over $400,000, who needed to “pay their fair share” and you ordinary Americans weren’t going to be hit?
You knew that was a lie, right? Anyone with any sense, anyone who has been watching Democrats for years should know that was a lie. It was only just a matter of time before they admit, woefully of course, that you shouldn’t have read their lips, that all you had to do was use your common sense to know they couldn’t fund all the programs they’re talking about without touching everyone.
So now let’s look at what Biden’s Commerce Secretary nominee just admitted to, because sure as shooting, we are definitely going to be revisiting this question more in the future.
We reported on the first lie/broken campaign promise here, promising a $2000 check to people if they voted for the Democrats for Senate in Georgia.
We’re already seeing the damage that Biden’s climate policies are doing to the energy industry and by extension to all of us when the raised prices hit.
But now there’s more we can chalk up to the Democrats’ climate approach, according to Townhall.
Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) asks Gina Raimondo, the Commerce nominee who has also been the Governor of Rhode Island, what she thinks about raising gas taxes or other taxes on the poorest Americans in order to pay for Biden’s climate policies. So now if she’s really holding to Biden’s promises during the campaign, her response should be, “Well, we’re only going to touch the folks over $400,000,” right? But no, she goes on to say that they were going to have to “balance interests” in deciding what to do about it.
“Let me say this, I as governor am deeply in touch with how much increasing bills affect the average American family. Having said that, we do need to meet the climate change challenge and we need funds for improved infrastructure,” Raimondo said. “I would look to balance those interests.”
Sure sounds like the poorest and all the rest of us under $400,000 are about to get hit when they “balance those interests.” The folks that just lost jobs in the Biden energy executive order debacle understand now how those “interests” balanced out.
Put a R.I. Governor in charge of anything is a disaster.
I’m still waiting for that middle-class tax cut Bill Clinton promised every one when he ran for President in ‘92.
Everyone needs to remember the people that made all of this possible, the Republican party starting with VP Pence, Mitch McConnell and the rest of them.
Losing your job and having to pay more taxes? Thank the Republicans.
I want my $2500/yr Hussein Health Care savings.
Ummm... I thought I heard the gay one say that he is raising gasoline TAXES.
Good idea. I’m going to add a line on my balance sheet: Inflation Reserve Account.
RE: Ummm... I thought I heard the gay one say that he is raising gasoline TAXES.
Taxes can only be raised BY LAW, and that is the tasked of the LEGISLATURE. Nobody in the executive branch can simply say - Gasoline Taxes will be raised by X% and expect it to be law.
Careful you might get banned on Themtube with that face.
Breaking campaign promises is standard SOP for DimRats.
Not stunned. Didn’t vote for the idiot nor any of his apprentice idiots.
Yup. Apparently this clown will be pushing legislation to increase gasoline taxes.
They are already awake. They are marxists, they will never be anything else.
I strongly suspect we’re about to launch into a great depression, but a train wreck kind that creates a great pile of twisted metal out of our economy.
No, you misremembered what was said! There aren’t going to be any more (income) taxes for anyone under 400k$ income......no taxes on income lower than 400k$. NO TAXES, right??
Just so we’re all clear, we are going to PAY more taxes on Gas, or ANYTHING THAT MOVES, but the tax isn’t on You. We raised the Fuel tax, not a tax on YOU.
That’s how a liar lies, and figures figure./ Sarcometer at 11.
He is Jimmy Carter on steroids. At least President Carter was left holding the bag, paying for the Vietnam War and the Great Society. Biden inherited the strongest economy and recovery in years.
Gotta pay for the free money, somehow. On the backs of the middle class, as usual.
Bubba did it the first week as well. Media won’t give a damn.
Do it and do it now ! I want people to see what pain they voted for right away.
That’s because the Press and the democrats have become one in the same.
The DNCMedia. Their poliitcal ideals are democrat political ideals and vice versus.
I’m sure most of the media elite will figure out a way to NOT have to pay extra taxes, or far less than they say thy are for.
