Biden Stooges: Big Three Ignore Report Saying Dems Snuck $60B in Tax Hikes into Stimulus
NewsBusters ^ | 3/15/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

The ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows were so caught up in the euphoria of President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus bill that they ignored Democrats had snuck tax hikes into the legislation.

Politico released an eye-opening story March 10 headlined, “A $60 billion surprise in the Covid relief bill: Tax hikes.” The Politico story was released the same day that Congress passed the $1.9 trillion bill before sending it to Biden’s desk. “[Democrats] tucked a trio of little-noticed tax hikes on the wealthy and big corporations into their coronavirus relief package that together are worth $60 billion,” Politico reported. The outlet said that the development was “surprising because Democrats were widely expected to put off their tax-increase plans until later.” Politico continued: “Many lawmakers are wary of hiking them now, when the economy is still struggling with the coronavirus pandemic.”

ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News ignored the entire story during their March 10 broadcasts while they were busy roleplaying as Biden’s stooges.

The most important “tax hike” was not a tax hike—it was a slippery new administrative requirement buried deep in the bill:

This will totally f*&^ over millions of poorer Americans who successfully evaded taxes but will no longer be able to do so.

The billionaire controlled mass media could not care less for these hard-working people.

Surprised? Jane, you ignorant slut... Democrats lie. That's what they do. And it's the only way they can advance their socialism. Unfortunately, Republicans still think it's a game with rules.

On a positive note, it might open the eyes of many of these Dim voters as to how badly they’re getting screwed by Biden, Pelosi and the rest.

Oh, those big corporations will just pay the taxes, maybe skip executive bonuses this year - they’d never just pass the cost along to their customers.

No it won't. Not a bit. Increasing poverty and crime is standard practice for Demonicrat politicians and is known as the "Curley Effect," and this time it's on a national scale. See the paper by Edward L. Glaeser and Andrei Shleifer, "The Curley Effect."

Flooding the country with illegal aliens, who will be given the vote, is part of the Traitorcrats' plan.
