the “american electorate” will elect her again. they love the class warfare, they love the marxist rhetoric and the hard left becomes more influential, inflexible, psychotic and obnoxious.
hold on to your pocketbooks. a new, new deal is coming.
heil hillary!
Like the whore said, she plans to take more of My MONEY away to do with what she thinks best.
Hillary Clinton is very dangerous to this country and it’s our job to warn Americans.
I do not believe that she said that “American aren’t so smart.”
Seriously, who would elect her? Oh, I know the not so smart?
Oh I believe it. Unfortunately there will be people who are naive enough to vote for her
These Democrats are so “into” benchmarks in Iraq: I want benchmarks for all of their social programs... Let’s see the benchmarks for The War on Poverty! Or reforming Social Security and Medicare!
Dems couldn’t stand benchmarks because their policies are based on fictions and a history showing that their social engineering never works. But don’t you dare hold them accountable for it!
Anyone who truly wanted the senior vote would take up the cause of the 25% of poor old women who are impoverished after their husbands die to to quirks in the Social Security law. We all know one or two of them trying to get by on $500/mo, and they have children. Acting as if the status quo is perfect flies in the face of reality, and commissions have reccommended changing that. This is the situation the law was passed to prevent, yet we still have it after 70 years.
No matter what the tax rate is...The rich will always get richer via loopholes.
So she won't cut benefits, raise the retirement age, or increase payroll taxes? If such statements are to be taken at face value -- which they aren't, but leave that aside -- that leaves some combination of increasing or removing the income cap, extending the tax to unearned income, or general revenue financing.
All of these options, of course, further reduce the linkage between Social Security "contributions" and benefits. That linkage is already so tenuous that only the dim take it seriously, but at some point the mythology will collapse utterly and this brings that point nearer. The endgame for Hillary's apparent strategy is a means-tested old wage welfare system.
From the beginning, it was simply a "Dem pot plot". Almost no one would ever collect. It would grow and be robbed on a regular basis.
Is there any other way than taxing the middle class according to the dimwits?
Please. The Clintons dislike the word “taxation” preferring to call the money wrested from citizens at the point of a gun “contributions.” Nuance is important to Democats and “contribution” is properly nuanced and avoids the harshness of “creative and ruinious confiscatory taxation” which, if spoken aloud, would perhaps alarm the sheeple.
Sphinx,
You may have nailed it, For her "according to their means" is a tape that cannot be erased in her Marxist brain.
However, I could see her removing the earnings cap ($90k-ish) that is taxable. This would fit into her desire to play out the class warfare card.
What is funny is she has abandoned her husband's privatization "scheme" (Greenspan nixed it, to much gov't control :-), no freedom of choice) yet her program would have the guberment yielding total control. Man is she a control freak or what?
“Hillary’s middle class tax increase”
The agenda is to eliminate the American middle class, the bulwark of freedom in the world, and replace it with a rich/poor combination, like that of third world countries like Mexico.
Stop Hillary.
The Democrats will just wait until the 401k pool is nicely sized, big enough to cover the Social Security deficit, and seize that. They’ll be enabled by the Republicans, and it will all be done in the name of the “poor”, because if it weren’t for their efforts you wouldn’t have been able to accumulate that huge pile of illicit money, yada, yada, yada.
She’s a communist and will not be happy until all money is taken from the middle class and above and everyone is poor except the elite consisting of celebrities and rich democrat donors.
