The Biden administration got slammed by the Washington Post for a recent talking point where they have accused “congressional Republicans” of wanting to raise taxes on the middle class.
Officials from White House press secretary Jen Psaki to President Biden himself have spread the message, without providing much in support of it.
“After their massive tax giveaway to the super-wealthy and giant corporations in 2017, Congressional Republicans now want to raise taxes on middle class families,” Biden tweeted Monday.
Three minutes later, the White House’s official Twitter account posted a message claiming that “the Congressional Republican Tax Plan” would result in “24 million families of seniors making less than $100,000 per year would face tax increases.”
Earlier that day, Psaki said during a press briefing that Biden “will not raise taxes for anyone making under $400,000” and that “the congressional Republican plan, however, as Senator Rick Scott outlined, couldn’t be more different.”
“But now, led by Senator Scott, Republicans want to raise taxes on the middle class, with one independent analysis showing their plan would hike taxes by an average of around $1,500 each year on 75 million American families, 96 percent of whom make under $100,000,” Psaki continued. “That’s the plan of congressional Republicans: tax hikes for the middle class; tax hikes for the wealthy and big corporations.”
The Post, in its Fact Checker column, points out that this is not a “congressional Republican” plan. The administration’s talking point, the Post explains, stems from Sen. Scott’s “11-point plan to rescue America,” which includes among a list of proposals the statement: “All Americans should pay some income tax to have skin in the game, even if a small amount. Currently over half of Americans pay no income tax.” more
Inflation is a tax on the prudent, the poor, and the middle class. Inflation is a subsidy for big swinging Wall Street dicks who borrow cash to buy companies and pay it back with cheaper cash devalued by inflation later.
Inflation helps only the 1% and screws everyone else.
Which is why Democrats always cause it.
Stick THAT tax on the middle class in your pedo and smoke it.
FJB
Aaaaaaaaaannnnnnd anytime PedocRATz can slap a nuther name on something to hide it’s true meaning they will!
Inflation IS a tax that PedocRATz refuse to acknowledge!
Wow a whole 3 Pinocchio’s that has got to sting. I’d bet Joey Biden will work harder to get that number up a few points. How’s that impeachment coming along anyway??
Income tax has always been unfair and should be abolished in favor of a sales tax on new goods. Tax monies collected are used to pay for illegal wars, illegal interest on debt and foreign aid which is just a cloak for illegal graft and profound corruption.
This all has to stop right now if we are to have any sort of free society.
P.S. Let’s Go Disney!
The Dems, knowing they are losing the narrative, are getting more desperate, now resorting to an elevated level of complete fabrication and out and out lying. Problem is far too many willfully ignorant brainwashed believe the lies even when they can see them. Satan’s minions.
“24 million families of seniors making less than $100,000 per year would face tax increases.”
Biden, scaring the old folks again. It was a favorite tactic of his in 2020. Nevertheless, isn’t there something else Rick Scott could be talking about instead of tax increases of any kind?
I agree that everyone should have “skin in the game”, but save that conversation for when you’re in the majority, Rick, if even then, as long as Cocaine Mitch is there to shut it down.
Maybe stop the insane spending first?
Holy cow…when the propagandists at WaPo are calling out FJB you really know the Dems have even had their fill of his hijinks.
In ten years, “congressional Republicans” will be referred to as those “also executed” when the next government is seated.
Between now and then, expect turbulence.
Also, don’t forget. War Crimes, and Crimes against Humanity have never been committed by the winning side of a conflict. Funny how that works, isn’t it?
The Washington Post challenging Biden? What’s going on? That’s not normal.
Inflation is a tax hike no one gets to vote on. and we are not suffering it because of GOP policies.
Most of the Middle Class would like to see Brandon’s neck stretched and his VP Whore can dangle next to him!
It’s a widely known fact that Joe Biden is a career and chronic liar who attempts to elevate his “street cred” with bogus stories which are verified, confirmed, filmed, and archived as blatant lies. Even among his colleagues he’s laughed at as a dummy goofball.
