Buttigieg takes on Trump, pitches four new tax hikes in Fox News Town Hall
Fox News ^ | May 19, 2019 | Gregg Re

Insurgent Democrat presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg acknowledged at the Fox News town hall in Claremont, New Hampshire Sunday evening that he needs to do more to appeal to "black and brown" voters, even as he confidently parried a series of policy questions -- and, on several occasions, went directly after President Trump.

Buttigieg argued that minority voters are "skeptical of people who seem to come out of nowhere," after moderator Chris Wallace noted that he was polling at one-percent support among nonwhite primary voters according to a recent Fox News poll.

On fiscal policy, Buttigieg pushed for four distinct tax hikes when asked about the deficit, saying he favored a "fairer, which means higher" marginal income tax, a "reasonable" wealth tax "or something like that," a financial transactions tax, and closing "corporate tax loopholes."

"You don't blow a hole in the budget with an unnecessary and unaffordable tax cut for the very wealthiest," Buttigieg told Wallace, referring to President Trump's tax legislation.

This is why it is good afterall, that Fox News had him on, so people can hear it directly from him that he wants to raise taxes.

Yup

OK,so Buttplug would carry states like New York

He would not carry New York with a financial transactions tax. Financial transactions are the blood flow of New York city.

‘”You don’t blow a hole in the budget with an unnecessary and unaffordable tax cut for the very wealthiest,’

Who will spend the money better? The wealthy or the government? Why does NO ONE ever talk about cutting spending to balance the budget?

I should have made it clear that I meant the State of New York...not the City. The only people who'd be upset by such a tax are the top people at financial firms...most of whom are smart enough to live in states like Connecticut and Jersey.

Stalin tried this in the Soviet Union. Historical figures and facts that didn’t fit Soviet ideology disappeared.

Trump is trying to turn it back into the great country it used to be.

I hope he gets reelected, with a R Congress and R-s will support his agenda to help MAGA.

Yep, charge corporations more tax so they can pass that cost of that tax on to the consumers. Politicians can’t understand that.

...”Boy has this country fallen far when you have an unabashed Marxist homosexual running for President and legitimized.”.....

He’s also a ‘flamer’...loves to show homosexual affection in full view of the audience for the shock affect and in order to gain further attention by doing so.

Been rumors about Matt for a long time. That’s Matt’s business but he’s pushed this guy so much to where he’s on the map now. Other than being gay, there’s nothing else to really say about why he’s running. He sounded like he was running for SGA president in the Fox Town Hall.
