They’re rich. They’re anti-Trump. And they don’t want their big tax cut.

Kimberly Hoover has been to most Michelin-star restaurants on the East and West coasts. She and her wife, multimillionaires from their real estate firms, own homes in or near New York City, Washington, Miami and Quebec…“At some point, it starts to feel wrong. It starts to feel excessive. It starts to feel somehow inappropriate. And at some point, it just doesn’t feel good…Imbalanced is really not good for anyone, even if you’re on the positive end of that imbalance, because it’s unsustainable.”

…During the administrations of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush, affluent Americans who benefited from tax cuts were more likely to be Republicans. The political party they supported delivered material benefits that boosted their pocketbooks. Democratic voters, by comparison, were more likely to be working or middle class.

Now, more than half of upper-income families — defined as those earning more than $215,400 per year — vote Democratic, according to a 2024 Pew Research survey, as more highly educated voters shift to the left. The top fifth of earners went from supporting Barack Obama in 2008 by a 2.5-point margin to supporting Joe Biden in 2020 by close to 15 percentage points. “Affluent Americans used to vote for Republican politicians. Now they vote for Democrats,” one 2023 paper found. That shift intensified during the 2024 presidential election, when large numbers of Black and Latino voters, who tend to be lower-income, defected to the Republican ticket for the first time in decades, according to several political scientists, exit polls and studies.

Drew E. Pomerance, a Los Angeles lawyer: “Don’t get me wrong: I like money…But at the expense of what it does to the rest of the country, it should not be a priority to give me and other rich people more money.”

These attention-whores pop up in every few years. However, in 2011 when the Daily Caller attended their press conference with an iPad, which displayed the Treasury Department’s donation page, to find out if any of the “patriotic millionaires” were willing to put their money where their mouth is, guess who didn't pay up?

First paragraph has to highlight two rich lesbians who think they’re married. I didn’t need to read past that

Yep.

They actually want the taxes to hit the mildly rich. The people who are actually making money rather then resting on their laurels and some day may become a threat.

On a different threat today one of my FRiends introduced me to the term “Dramacrats .” Just so. Sis, when you’ve cut a check to the government for a gift for the differential in tax liability, let us know. Until then, shut up

The leftist media refuse to stop this crap. Don’t accept it and call them out every chance you get. Another reason I refuse to buy anything at Amazon.

Hypocrites indeed. I bet any simple deep dive on their careers will show schemes, ripping off the poor, or other financial shenanigans.

This is nothing.

If they dont want their tax cuts, no ones has even been forced to take them. In fsct you can send in more than you owe, if you like. Go bananas, liberals virtue signallers.

Ok, then check the donation to the US Treasury box on your 1040 and donate what you think you should be paying. Problem solved.

She and her wife????

Oh, and a nice castle in La La land will be added to their six homes.

People should envy her, BUT I doubt it.

Have you ever noticed how most “rich” people are dumber than a box of rocks. They always whine and throw tantrums when somebody promises them a tax cut. Meanwhile, we po folks tell their dumbasses EVERY TIME. You don’t have to take the tax cut. The government has set it up where you dumbasses can send all your money to the government if you’re stupid enough to do it. It’s still like that. Don’t suffer all that money in your accounts. Send it to the DNC. Idiots.

She is welcome to give all her possessions and wealth away. But the government can keep its greedy hands off my stuff.

They are all welcome to send in extra money to the IRS. Monthly, quarterly, annually.... what’s stopping them?

“…her wife….” Sorry but those two words don’t belong next to each other.

The Washington Post was breathlessly anxious to fit those words into a story. They think they can normalize the abnormal and unnatural.
