Crowd Cheers Clinton's Call To 'Raise Taxes On The Middle Class'
The Daily Wire ^ | August 3, 2016 | Robert Kraychik

Posted on 08/03/2016 4:47:03 PM PDT by Cheerio

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!”

I would expect that the few score of attendees at that rally would have cheered if Hellery had said, “... and then I’m going to turn all your children into cat food!”

Slip of the tongue or reality? If it were Trump, they’d never let it drop.

But, of course, the woman who has sold her soul to satan will not raise taxes on herself That money she’s been getting from the Saudis is tax free.

A disproportionate number of those aborted would have become democrats like their parents. It seems therefore that such people are self-limiting, or else there would be more of them.

WHere is the media asking every Democrat politician if they agree with Hillary on this? Wait no Democrat is asked if they would like to distance themselves from Hillary middle class tax increase? Wait no Democrat pol asked if they support Hillary’s continue lies about her emails, wait no media even ask if Hillary had anything to do with the 400 Million ransom paid to terrorist state, wait you mean the media only want to ask Trump if he hates kittens and puppies? RIGGED< RIGGED, RIGGED...

You could have so much fun.

The Trump campaign should have invested some money in moles.

Did he ever pay the 2002 tax audit results that he has been fighting for years? This POS is another that drives me insane with his commentary. Just once I’d like to hear him or someone of his ilk say that income is not a measure of wealth, assets are wealth, income is a means to achieve it.

Does Buffett’s outfit, Berkshire-Hathaway, still owe the IRS a billion dollars in back taxes or has he ponied up?

If Buffet still owes a lot to the IRS, it would explain his support for Hillary.

Hillary can’t even fill a HS gym, Trump fills arenas and turns people away. But trump is not popular according to the media

I’ll bet she can’t even define “the middle class,” as can no one else.

The Democrats could increase the maximum marginal income tax rate to 99% and Hillary’s billionaire supporters would still be billionaires.

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!

The Wicked Witch's Freudian Slip proves two things:

1 - She will screw over the middle class as she thinks all money is government money, it's just that the government allows the People to keep some.

2 - The average Hillary supporter is a mindless drone. She could have said that they were going to be executed at the end of her speech and they still would applaud.

“Karl Marx HATED the middle class.
He DESPISED them.”

It’s hard to make an “us vs. them” and “you’re being unstoppably oppressed” argument, the basis of Marxism, when reality shouts it’s really “us vs. them vs. some other people who succeeded”
