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.

Matt Drudge sure seems to give this guy lots of love.
Birds of a feather and all that!
This is the origin of the idiom tough row to hoe, which describes a large, challenging task. A literal tough row to hoe might be one that is long or that involves hoeing dirt with lots of rocks or roots. A figurative tough row to hoe is any large undertaking that is especially difficult. Road to hoe is a misspelling.
I watched this program it was really good and well done.
How about a death tax on people who transmit HIV.
“Boy has this country fallen far when you have an unabashed Marxist homosexual running for President and legitimized.”
Yeah, and so soon after the Demonrats elected the last one.
Robert...please calm down.
Buttplug was totally elected by collage kids that likely weren’t even eligible to vote South Bend. Bunch of kids that thought it was cool to elect a fudge packer.
From a "Catholic" University.
Yeah, the priests all voted for him twice!
This hillbilly deplorable is finally beginning to see the light. Man, I gotta get me one of them tax hikes.
Boot edge-edge.
Put him in the oval office and you will get Obama II.

Hey bags. Add another monitor and keyboard to the list.
Fox wants to host a Democrap candidate debate. So Fox is sucking up to the DNC who refused to schedule Fox for one of the debates to come.
UBT is a charity competing with a for-profit company. They SHOUKD pay the same rate as a corporation (21%), so as to not have an unfair advantage. They are still tax free on income from related activities. So if a private school charging tuition...but if that school ooens a laundromat, which competes with Joe’s laundromat down the block, then it should be taxed on it’s laundromat income to the same degree as Joe.
“So if a private school charging tuition...but if that....”
Should be: “So if a private school charges tuition, that’s tax-free...but if that....”

Does Alfred E Neuman prefer the ‘stink sanchez’ or the ‘stinky hitler’?
Haha. Okay. Put it on my tab.
What makes you think I’m not calm? Just because I taught you that it’s not road to hoe? Trust me, it takes a lot more than that to get me upset. I was merely giving you an education as to the correct saying. Road to hoe makes absolutely no sense if you stop to think about it.
