Atlantic: Trump might get R's to...tax the rich?!

[Ken g6]

Grover Norquist Can’t Believe What He’s Hearing

Is the GOP about to raise taxes?

I never thought I could ever like Trump, but I'm starting to think maybe my support can be bought. 🤢

Mike Johnson has already stated that this is not true. The usual claim of lower taxes for everyone.

 

[mikeymikec]

The question to ask yourself is "would Trump like to pay more taxes".

I have faith he could still find ways to own nothing.

 

[Indus]

All they need for my vote is to give me single payer healthcare!

Chop chop!

Boy are you a cheap fucking date

Ha. You think they have a plan? At best "the concept of a plan." Oh, and it ain't single payer.

Their concept of a plan for reforming the economy may somehow end up preserving democracy.

Governors have raised taxes in one area while cutting them in another to comply with Grover's pledge (its revenue neutral they said) so why is he crying now? The government will be small enough to “drown it in the bathtub” when Trump is done with it. Just another sore winner.

Dude is already broke, he always was.

So therefore that will apply to most of the richest people too.

TBH I'm a little surprised that conservatives don't engage in "looks like a tax rise for rich people but isn't" tactics more often. Maybe they don't want to give their supporters ideas.

Not all of those are fraudulent though since a lot of money was donated to get them passed. Trump is a tax cheat..

 

[fskimospy]

I’ve lost track of how many of these ‘maybe Trump is actually secretly progressive!’ threads and media topics I’ve seen. How many times does Lucy need to pull away the football?

 

[brycejones]

He won't do what the subject says.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Oh yeah just like when he said he was going to raise taxes on himself in the 2016 campaign only to blow a $2 trillion hole in the budget with his tax cuts for the oligarchs in 2017. Bannon floated that 44% income tax on the rich to get him elected when he intelligently ran to the left of Hillary on a few big issues in the campaign.

It's Medicare Advantage For All

I’m pretty sure the “drowning it in a bathtub” stage started on January 20–this baby is already blue in the face.
