Pelosi Calls Claim She Would Raise Taxes As Majority Leader ‘Accurate’
Breitbart ^ | 5-9-2018 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 05/09/2018 7:19:25 AM PDT by blam

In an interview during a Politico Playbook Live event on Tuesday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told Politico’s Anna Palmer and Jake Sherman that it would be “accurate” to say that she would seek to raise taxes if her party under her leadership were in charge of the House of Representatives.

Pelosi was asked about the possibility of instituting single-payer health care and raising taxes, to which she acknowledged a desire to “revisit” tax legislation.

“The second part is accurate,” Pelosi said with a chuckle. “I do think we should revisit tax legislation in the way we always have — in a bipartisan, transparent way that the result is unifying for the country. I do object to what they did in the dark of night and in the speed of light, show up with something that gives 83 percent of the benefits to the top 1 percent and 86 million middle-income families will pay more taxes in the life of this bill, even though they called it a middle-class bill.

I actually know people in Real Life that are FINE paying higher taxes - as long as it’s members of the Socialist Democrat Party squandering their money. Yeesh!

Pelosi proves every DAY how nutty she seems to be - to us - but her base laps this stuff up!

Fritz Mondale is affable and has a brain.

Pelosi can do it.

If she could raise her forehead with botox she can raise our taxes!

This strategy was such a winner for Mondull.

Even the typical low-IQ Democrat knows they have to lie about their eternal desire to raise taxes if they want to be elected.

Well there’s a ready made campaign commercial for every Republican trying to get to, or stay in, Washington.

I didn’t say he wasn’t wrong-headed, but he’s no Nancy Pelosi. His mentor, Hubert Humphrey, would be a moderate or conservative Republican today.

Pelosi just wants to restore the ability to deduct state taxes from Federal income tax returns. That way the rest of the country can go back to subsidizing California’s exorbitant tax rates.

RAT politicians suffer from mental defects, ya think? Liberals are born with brain cells that aren’t wired right.
