Flanked by sleepy billionaire-for-the-masses Warren Buffett, Hillary Clinton was cheered by a crowd of mooing followers in Omaha as she angrily exclaimed “…we are going to raise taxes on the middle class!”
Buffett seemed a little perplexed as she spoke…
“Because while Warren is standing up for a fairer tax code, Trump wants to cut taxes for the super-rich,” said Clinton.
“Well, we’re not going there, my friends. I’m telling you, right now – we’re going to write fairer rules for the middle class and we are going to raise taxes on the middle class!”
As The Daily Wire notes, presumably a slip of the tongue, Clinton’s comment came amid broader Marxist-themed demagoguery about forcing “the wealthy” to “pay their fair share” of taxes.
Furthermore, as Fox reports, Hillary Clinton comes up $2.2 trillion short in paying for her policy agenda, despite hiking taxes by $1.3 trillion, according to a new analysis of the Democratic nominee’s campaign platform.
The American Action Forum, a center-right policy institute, released a report Thursday finding Clinton’s domestic agenda would “have a dramatic effect on the federal budget.”
Gordon Gray, American Action Forum’s director of fiscal policy, based the report on estimates of policy proposals from the Clinton campaign itself, as well as independent analyses from the Tax Policy Center and the Center for a Responsible Federal Budget.
Gray found Clinton’s policies for expanding government’s role in family leave and student loans would contribute significantly to the deficit, and in turn a growing national debt that stands at $19.358 trillion.
In fact, the amount of debt held by the public alone would reach $25.825 trillion in 2026 under Clinton’s plan. The amount of debt held by the public today is $13.968 trillion.
It just goes to show you what weve been saying all along.
Just how dumb and subservient people who vote Democrat are. The audience never listens . Theyre worse then trained seals.
@mark: You are wrong. These people are the FSA – they want more free shit. Since they probably don’t work – they will pay no taxes. So they’re all for more taxes, more free-to-them shit.
Yes Dutchman,
and the “poorer” of the FSA get 5K or more after tax time called “earned income credit.”
I heard the soundbite on a radio show (WMAL-DC) and they replayed it slowly and she seemed to actually say “Aren’t” not “Are”.
Of course, it could have been a Freudian slip.
Obama said our health care cost would go down along with all sorts of other things about what it would cost to be in the “middle class”.
Is Hillary more honest than he was?
FWIW, changing the speed of her speech -or anyone’s- distorts what they are saying, it doesn’t clarify it.
Also FWIW, she and whatever crowd it was listening to here didn’t seem very enthusiastic.
Didn’t Oreo make the promise to not raise taxes on the middle class? Guess nobody in the middle class cares.
Obummer also vowed to not run a 2nd time if he didn’t cut the deficit in half. Another promise broken.
Of course he blames a “messy democracy” on not following through:
It’s blatantly obvious what the democrats want. To raise income taxes to 100%. Then the politicians get to decide who gets what. More for themselves obviously. So be a good slave and shutup.
I would be terribly sad if some other psychopathy offed that bitch. I am mean it. Seriously. OK. Maybe. Never mind….
/sarcasm off
I’m pretty sure she meant to say super rich there because very few of the sheople she is trying to sway are super rich.
Much ado aboot nothing!
If the total debt is $19 trillion and the debt held by the public is $13 trillion, then the $6 trillion balance is made up of intragovernmental debt
This is debt owed by governmental agencies to the Treasury Dept
One example is Social Security
The $2.9 trillion listed in the trust fund as an asset has been spent
That total is about one half of the intragovernmental debt which, along with debt held by the public, comprises the total debt
Don, where is the debt held by overseas investors, in the form of bonds?
Dougie the dhimmi, the azan is calling for you to get back to tongue punching your imams fartbox.

(Overheard at Trump campaign HQ) Quick! Get on the phone to Channel 7 and get a high quality dub of that tape! We’ll include it in every campaign ad from now ’til erection day!
I guess the good news is that Hillary just promised to implement Trump’s fair trade agenda: In order to tax a middle class, there must be a middle class to tax.
/Yes, I know . . .
