You want the rich to pay more taxes?

Lower rates. The economy will grown and the rich and everyone else will pay more because they’ll have more on which to pay.

Hillary, you’d better start worrying about convincing the prison guards to bring you your booze.

Does she still get Secret Service protection in prison?

LOL, this gets funnier every day! OMG! Is this a comedy show? Like she is going to pay more taxes, using offshore accounts and the Foundation Fund to hide her resources. Good Grief

To: Biggirl; All
Noting that the mostly wealthy delegates to the constitutional Convention knew what they were getting into when they ratified the Constitution, after the country was established rich citizens actually paid all the taxes necessary to run the federal government as the Jefferson excerpt at the bottom of this post shows.

H O W E V E R…

Also consider that in the early days of the country, state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from laying taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue which Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

So let’s let the rich once again pay all the taxes necessary for the federal government to run; I think that Trump also supports this idea. But this time let the rich also police Congress to make sure that Congress is taxing and spending within the restraints of its Section 8-limited powers.

Finally, here’s the Jefferson excerpt where he stated that only the rich paid all the taxes necessary to run the federal government.

The rich alone use imported articles, and on these alone the whole taxes of the General Government are levied [emphasis added]. … Our revenues liberated by the discharge of the public debt, and its surplus applied to canals, roads, schools, etc., the farmer will see his government supported, his children educated, and the face of his country made a paradise by the contributions of the rich alone, without his being called on to spend a cent from his earnings.” —Thomas Jefferson to Thaddeus Kosciusko, 1811.

Typical commie pig response. Communism cannot survive without stealing other people’s money.

She's probably right. I'm sure the elitist Progressive GOP establishment has already assured Hitlery that she has a blank check to further destroy the Republic as long as they can keep their jobs at the Politburo.

“Make Rich Pay More”

Catch phrase. Makes hipster and occupy idiots smile when they here this. It doesn’t matter how, or any consequences involved... just have a catchy phrase that resonates with the base.

“Rich people worked hard and made good life choices and now they have more money than me and its not fair.”

“Hillary To Univision: I Will Get GOP-Led Congress To Make The Rich “Pay More Taxes””

And she probably would, too. The GOPe has caved to obama and given him everything he ever wanted, so why wouldn’t they do the same for Hillary?

What a maroon. The far left has used the mantra of tax the rich for the past 50 some years.
We are 18 TRILLIOB dollars in debt.
The Middle Class always ends up paying.
These idiots keep on pushing the same worn out agenda.

Sadly, I think she is 100% correct.
