As she testified before the tax-writing Senate Finance Committee on Sept. 30, 1993, Hillary Clinton was asked by Sen. Bill Bradley (D-N.J.) if she supported the imposition of a new, 25 percent national sales tax on guns. Clinton emphatically endorsed the tax, stating: "I am all for that."

So, let's drag up stuff from the past. But, uh, why would she be testifyin' before any committee back then anyway? I guess they can call up anyone they want for any reason. Looks like she isn't so excited to testify these days. Not that she did anything wrong or illegal.

NO, we should have a 25% tax above what they already pay on the income of anyone stupid enough to vote for this bitch.

And how is this any different from a poll tax? It is a tax on the exercise of a Constitutional Right. In fact, I don’t understand how there could be any sales tax on firearms purchases.

Frankly, if we could tax stupid, all our national debt worries would be over.

[NonValueAdded]

what part of “infringe” does she not understand?

[chris37]

Hillary, you want to tax our God given civil rights, but you don’t want to serve prison time for the national security secrets that you STOLE FROM AMERICA!?

GO TO HELL, HILLARY CLINTON!

[Romans Nine]

Keep digging bitch, I’m loving it!!!

Watching her melt makes me happy, happy, happy!!

[OttawaFreeper]

So, are the criminals going to pay this tax?

[Diogenesis]

America deserves a 50% Tax on any Clinton Treason.

I agree.

Nothing Mrs. Clinton ever says again is relevant, except maybe to ask the question, What Position? when commanded to Assume the position.

Good thinking, stupid. Do you really think the quantity of guns sold is responsive to price changes (i.e., price elastic)? If you need a heart operation, do you look for the best doctor, or one who operates out of his garage? All this plan does is raise the price of guns with almost no impact on gun sales, and take more dollars away from the public to you jerks can give it away in an ever-ongoing attempt to get reelected.

Well Said!
It Is All Too True

[Sooth2222]

How about a 25% tax on welfare benefits?

[Artemis Webb]

She has no core beliefs. She’s saying this to appeal to the left because Sanders is kicking her ass.

“So, let’s drag up stuff from the past.”

Yeah, how about that Sen Bill Bradley! The Senate is such a “good place” for a retired basketball player. You know they know all about what the country needs. Not.

[wastoute]

We should have a one million dollar tax on politicians every time they open their mouth.

[US_MilitaryRules]

Why should gun owners pay for the crimes of bad people? Ohh yea, lib think. Liberalism really is a MENTAL Disease!

[DJ Taylor]

How in the world does Hillary plan to collect the tax from Jamal when he buys a gun out of the trunk of Leroy’s car parked behind Wal-Mart? (Inquiring minds want to know)
