Klobuchar: ‘If You Believe in Capitalism,’ We Should Be ‘Increasing Some of the Corporate Taxes’
Breitbart ^ | April 10th 2025 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 04/11/2025 5:13:23 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said that “If you believe in capitalism, like I do, if you believe that the market has given us this incredible country,” you should address healthcare costs, housing, child care, and reducing the amount of debt the U.S. has and Congress “should be reducing some of the burden on people who make less, but actually increasing some of the corporate taxes so we can bring more funds in to do something about the debt.”

Klobuchar said, “If you believe in capitalism, like I do, if you believe that the market has given us this incredible country, which, if I was going to work on anything right now, it would be people’s healthcare costs and their housing and their child care, which we should be doing, and yes, bringing down the debt and changing the way some of these taxes are working so that we can bring that debt down, these guys are [d]oing the opposite right now.”

Typical dhimmicrap mental constipation.
Corporations don’t pay taxes. They merely pass them along to their customers in pricing.
Ultimately, the end user pays the tab...like always.

Capitalism has been dead for over a 100 years.

Only a fool would believe a Democrat promise that raising taxes would reduce the deficit. Lucy has pulled that football away a zillion times before.

Democrats believe reality is a zero-sum game.

They are linear thinkers. They believe that if you raise tax rates, you automatically get more tax revenues. But, of course, it doesn't work like that. It's a dynamic process.

I tried to explain this to a Democrat acquaintance once. He really tried to understand, but he couldn’t see past basic addition and subtraction. The idea that higher rates might not mean higher revenue just didn’t compute for him.

Klobbher Char is banging it, but not on all cylinders. She is commie you see.

So why even listen to it?

She has the gravitas of a spring newt shitting under an obscure rock in Lake Wobegon.

She concluded this after reading the collected works of Adam Smith, Ludwig Von Mises, Henry Hazlitt, Murray Rothbard and Milton Friedman—so it must be true.

Lol.

The same democrats who claim that tariffs will raise prices have no problem with higher corporate taxes.
