Clinton: Money to Help Pay Bills 'Should Come From Those Who Have It'

[jimnyc]

Clinton is sharing her Robin Hood stories again. If you "have it" - be prepared that your hard working earned money will be stolen from you.

-----

(CNSNews.com) - "We have to change the tax system so that it is fairer," Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday. To her, that means taking more money from the rich and spending it on other people's college tuition, child care, and paid family leave.

"There are things we can do that will relieve the burdens on middle-class families, and the money should come from those who have it," Clinton told a gathering in Marshalltown, Iowa, Wednesday.

"I will raise your incomes, I will not raise middle-class taxes," Clinton promised.

"I do not think it is right -- (she was interrupted by applause) -- to be going to people who suffered because of the Republican recession and asking for you to help us make the investments for the future. I want you to take advantage of them, but I want to go where the money is, and the money is at the top, and that's where we need to be shifting our tax system."

In addition to closing tax "loopholes," Clinton endorsed the "Buffett rule," which says anyone who makes $1 million should have to pay a 30 percent effective tax rate.

I could be wrong, as I've read variations of his "rich" tax plan, but I don't think he goes into much detail about specifically what the money will be used for. It "could" be used for the VA for all we know, or it could be the same. But Hillary outright states that it's taking from the rich to give to the poor to help with their bills. If Trump states the same, then he's an idiot too. But I don't take issue with some higher taxes on the rich, or corporations, if that money IS in fact used for say the VA, or funding the military or similar. Otherwise, outside of that, I've generally been more of the type that prefers a same tax across the board.

I trust nothing that comes out of that woman's mouth. She's dirty and the wealth redistribution scheme only gets traction with low info types.


Trump's flat 15% tax is a winner all the way around. That will jump start the economy immediately and every working American will benefit.

Does not even matter who they take the money from in form of taxes, as they will waste , squander and steal most of it!! Besides they'll tax those rich and still shaft the middle class just as they've been doing hard and heavy for over 40 years now!
Lies and empty words just about all that comes from any Bill Clinton family member's mouth.
Daughter aint no damn angel, she has been trained by those two corrupt , criminal pieces of shit.

WHAT THAT BITCH MEANS IS-- "WE WILL STEAL FROM THE WORKERS AND THE RICH BASTARDS TO BUY VOTES FROM YOU FFING LEECHES. SO VOTE FOR ME!
And those leeches may be dumb and lazy but they hear that and always vote dem for the freebies. Tyr

Her type of thinking is common among even some Republicans, but they don't recognize it as being so.

I think he's only going to drop the "carried interest" break but overall is tax cut.

He doesn't have a 15% flat tax on individuals. That's his proposed corporate rate IIRC.

That's what I was referring to. All businesses are taxed at 15%.

Individuals max out at 25%, with most of us paying either 10% or 20% - which is a far cry less from the 30%+ that I pay now.

If you are single and earn less than $25,000, or married and jointly earn less than $50,000, you will not owe any income tax. That removes nearly 75 million households – over 50% – from the income tax rolls. They get a new one page form to send the IRS saying, “I win,” those who would otherwise owe income taxes will save an average of nearly $1,000 each.
All other Americans will get a simpler tax code with four brackets – 0%, 10%, 20% and 25% – instead of the current seven. This new tax code eliminates the marriage penalty and the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) while providing the lowest tax rate since before World War II.
No business of any size, from a Fortune 500 to a mom and pop shop to a freelancer living job to job, will pay more than 15% of their business income in taxes. This lower rate makes corporate inversions unnecessary by making America’s tax rate one of the best in the world.

Clinton is sharing her Robin Hood stories again.

"Robin Hood", she ain't.

Look up the Robin Hood legends. in the 1960s someone made a movie and came up with the shortened slogan, "He stole from the rich and gave to the poor."

But who did he really "steal" from? Government treasury agents and tax collectors!

And who did he "give" the money to? Blacksmiths, farmer, cobblers, teamsters, housewives etc. - the people the government had taken the money from in the first place.

Robin Hood was a conservative.

If you want to compare Hillary and other socialists to a historical figure, try the bank robber who, when he was asked why he kept robbing banks, replied, "Because that's where the money is!"

The only difference between Hillary and that bank robber is, the bank robber didn't try to pretend what he was doing was morally right.

Aside from that, there is no difference between Hillary and that bank robber.
