Biden Commerce Secretary Nominee Suggests They Might Break a Pretty Important Campaign Promise About Not Raising Taxes On the Middle Class

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.

Anything a Democrat says has an immediate expiration date. Promises are “messaging”, and nothing more.

Have a car that uses or guzzles gasoline? Watch for a big penalty at the pump, for not driving electric. See? We don’t need to worry about having to buy oil from foreigners; so we don’t need the pipeline, either. And John Kerry says those oilfield workers put out of work can get jobs making solar panels for green energy. Yup. I’m sure they’ll pay 6 figures to someone to make or assemble solar panels. Uncle Joe says they will be union jobs. So, turn that frown upside down! ‘Cause everything’s comin’ up roses! (All that manure they’re shoveling’s got to do SOME good).

Also, correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t communists confiscate the wealth of the super rich in their countries too?
Maybe these communists in sports and Hollywood deserve this system they keep promoting.

Let’s see. Not gonna raise taxes and then they do. Wall Street supported Uncle Joe, eight days after the inauguration stocks are plunging. Global Warming znd green policy are going to be central to this administration. Racial equality and equity are going to be central to this administration. LBQT++++ rights are going to be central to this administration. The center is going to be crowded in this administration.
This administration is against walls, borders, police znd ghe military - except where they want them.
This list could go on for several pages.
Just remember this and you’ll be O.K. (white power symbol) “it’s what we say it is, how we say it is, when we say it is.

Yeah, I remember that. And I didn't believe it for one single second.
