During an interview with the editorial team of the New York Daily News, Hillary Clinton admitted her tax proposals will increase taxes on the American people by at least $1 trillion over the next ten years. Here is the key exchange from the meeting, according to a transcript released by the Daily News:
Clinton: I have connected up my proposals for the kind of investments I want to make with the taxes that I think have to be raised. So on individual pieces of my agenda, I try to demonstrate clearly that I have a way for paying for paid family leave, for example, for debt-free tuition. So I would spend about $100 billion a year. And I think it's affordable, and I think it's a smart way to make investments, to go back to our economic discussion, that will contribute to growing the economy.
Now I'm well aware that this is a heavy lift. I understand that. But I think connecting what I'm asking for to the programs, to the outcomes and results that I'm calling for give me a stronger hand, and that's how I'm going to go at it.
Daily News: So if I understand you correctly, if you look at your proposals for college costs and for family leave, for infrastructure investments...
Clinton: Well, that's a little bit different, because infrastructure investment, I'm still looking at how we fund the National Infrastructure Bank. It may be repatriation. That's one theory, or something else. It's about $100 billion a year.
Daily News: A hundred billion a year, so that comes out to about a trillion dollars...
Clinton: Over ten.
Daily News: ...over ten years.
Hillary’s $1 trillion tax increase takes the form of several proposals:

The word investments, like affordable and care no longer has the same meaning. How long can liberals cost along using good sounding words for horrible schemes until the entire language is meaningless?
Already happened.
What exactly does “gay” mean again?
Why don’t these commies just come right out and say it, “the government is entitled to it all”.
Clinton says she’ll raise taxes. Trump and Cruz say that they’ll lower taxes. The only thing that you can bet the ranch on is that regardless of who is elected the deficit will continue to go up.
She has such a clear mind and such a way with words.
Of course, being unclear is essentially to her trade.
The Clinton Foundation needs replenishing.
Taxes spent on government programs are and never will be investments. Wordsmithing like that should be called out immediately by interviewers.
The only thing I want confirmed with this beeyatch, is that she is going to jail.
$1 trillion in 10 years. ok... let’s see if i get this right.
we are now $20 trillion in debt.
we bring in $3 trillion annually.
we spend $4.5+ trillion annually now (due to increase).
which means we’re adding $1.5 trillion to the debt every year.
in 10 years, as things are now without the 0bamacare increases or other bs... the debt will be ($20 trillion + 10 x $1.5 trillion) or $35 trillion.
and hillary wants to tack on another $1 trillion in taxes? if it went straight to the debt we’d ‘only’ owe $34 trillion.
whatever. it’s noise. it’s also called corruption. she just wants to use that money as a slush fund to pour into the pockets of those that support her.
(btw, if you’re wondering... yes, the country will be declared bankrupt before we get that far into debt as the world stops buying our deadbeat bonds)
There could never be enough Piano wire for someone like Canckles and her ilk.
Taxing us all into communism while she eats caviar and sips champagne
It’s only “peanuts”, coming from someone who has no idea what the common folks live under. Hell, a million here, a million there and pretty soon were talking real money. That BITCH needs to be drowned in a cesspool.
Using the public treasury to buy votes. We were warned against that — would spell the end.
Her trillion dollar tax plan, is probably really 6 or 7 trillion.
SINCE WHEN IS “TAX AND SPEND”.... “INVESTING” ????? ONLY IN THE LIBTARD MIND
that being the case then “investing” in LBJ’s LIBTARD GREAT SOCIETY has been a total failure WASTING TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS... we now owe to foreign lenders...
besides i am sure you ahve read or heard about johnsons remarks regarding the real motivation behind the cynical program.
so if that is “investing” then i would say it is poor investing AND WE GET no return on our investment and we should stop wasting money on this type of social engineering “investment” and reduce taxation for corporations and individuals and then the economy can come back to life... and we will no longer want or need the libtard tax and spend programs...oh i mean “investments”....
You can exempted from these taxes...
...but a small service fee will be required.
Vote for ANY Democrat and your taxes are going up.
How can that not be patently obvious to everyone?
