• Slap a new tax on banks with more than $50 million in assets. Kamala Harris especially likes this one, which would bring in an estimated $61 billion. Banks are big and bad, unless you want or have home mortgage.
• Increase by 88 percent the amount of income Americans must pay Social Security taxes on from the current $132,900 up to at least a quarter-million. Maybe more. Yeh, sure, some middle-class families will be caught in the cash net. But see, silly person who doesn’t understand how government works, they’re spending all the current Social Security tax income already. So, they need more for new programs, probably another $800+ billion.
• People are making too much money from investments that can help create jobs. So, jack the capital gains by 50 percent to 30 percent. That might rake in more than $600 billion, assuming it doesn’t stop much investing..
• And let’s cut into that mortgage interest tax deduction. Too many Americans are owning or buying homes and affording it. That’s worth a good $972 billion at least.
• Here’s a good one: Hike the federal tax on a gallon of gasoline by “only” 10 cents, which is actually 65 percent. This should bring in another $170 billion. Sure, it hits regular working folks the hardest, but we all must make financial sacrifices for the greener good. Also, tell town halls the money will pay for infrastructure repairs. That’s a good line. Some Republicans might even go for it, unless they know Grover Norquist.
• Oh, and index that enlarged gas tax to inflation so it’ll increase automatically forever and politicians won’t have to wait another 26 years for new revenues.
• Finally ... let’s install a value-added tax.....

Drain the U.S. of all the money they can and then kill America dead. Dead dead.
Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman
If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet.
Don’t ask me what I want it for
If you don’t want to pay some more
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
And you’re working for no one but me.
This crap will sure bring the economy to a screeching halt, but I guess that’s what these morons want.
The problem that these clowns have is that they have to convince the majority of voters to like their plans. I don’t think they really believe their own B.S. They are trying to consolidate their base. They really are the textbook example of evil.
uhhh . . . that would be damn near all of them. . . .
In their demented and warped minds, they see a dead economy as a good thing.
They sure seemed to enjoy Obama’s eight years of no growth. Those of us working for a living weren’t so thrilled, though.
I know of several dim wacko liberals who thought the wun’s brilliant leadership was the best thing ever.
I remember the first time I maxed out my Social Security tax. It felt like Christmas. But, I wondered why the stopped where they did? I Wonder why they didn’t just keep taxing it. Not complaining, but no one ever explained that one to me.
Clearly not an issue this year! Ha ha.
Except for the little rinky-tink ones that are on the margin of failure.
Saw a bumper sticker today said:
Buttgag-Swallow 2020
That just proves that delusion is not just a river in Africa.
