On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) said that “if you ask billionaires to pay something, that’s not a tax increase, more than zero, it’s not a tax increase.”

While discussing the negotiations over the $3.5 trillion budget package, Stabenow said, “We really believe that it’s time that the American people know that somebody’s got their back, and that the tax code should work for working people, not just the rich, not just the millionaires and billionaires. We believe that if you ask billionaires to pay something, that’s not a tax increase, more than zero, it’s not a tax increase.”

The Big Lie - The Rich pay Zero in taxes.

[sipow]

If you are paying zero today and more than zero tomorrow then that is an increase.

[Sacajaweau]

The Dems aren’t thinking. These increases hurt a lot of wealthy Dems. They’ll step in.

Confiscate it all and you still can't keep uncle sugar funded for a year!

Any number above zero is an increase. Or so I learned in about the first grade.

Stabenow stole her Senate seat from John James...

These people are incredibly stupid.

Maths are hard.

It is an attempt at class warfare with smoke and mirrors to distract people, nothing new.

She failed fifth-grade math.

Typical Democrat.

The thing about being stuck on stupid is you are so stupid you don’t ever know you are stupid.

How does a person, with an IQ of less than zero, keep getting re-elected?
For her, its a good thing that breathing is an involuntary reflex.

The connected believe they will not be impacted.

And to be honest, they may not be. That is how it works.

But the .gov is a hungry hog that is now off its feed. Hungry animals get agitated, and then violent.
