Elections have consequences. Just Senator Elizabeth Warren, who suggested that a 50% to 90% personal income tax rate for Americans is not out of the question. Warren made the shocking admission in an interview with CNBC.

Warren also promised that Democrats will end President Trump’s tax cuts if they take control of Congress in November 2018.

CNBC’s anti-Trump pundit, John Harwood, asked Warren: “If Democrats take the Congress…would you like to see these corporate tax cuts repealed?”

Senator Warren replied: “Yeah, I really want to see them rolled back.”

Question: “Back to 35%?”

Warren replied: “Well, it’s not about the number. Here’s how I look at budgets, and taxes are at the heart of this. A lot of people think they’re just numbers; they’re not. They are the expression of our values. The values of the Republican Party that passed those tax cuts are to give $1.5 trillion away to the richest Americans and the biggest corporations, and let everybody else pick up the crumbs.”

She added: “We need a budget, we need a tax bill that works for all of us. So what I’d like to see is I’d like to see us strengthen America’s middle class.”

The Democrat's new slogan: "We are going to tax the sh*t out of you."

That's the ticket!

Doesn’t she understand businesses don’t pay taxes? They’re a cost passed on to the consumer.

Millions of Americans are crying out, “Please, PLEASE raise our taxes!” The Dems need to run on this.

As I traveled across the states, every citizen I talked to demanded more taxes. Only not.

The insanity is strong in this one....
Who in their right mind would vote for a 50-90% personal income tax rate?
Liberalism is a chronic, no-cure, mental disease....lock em up.

Keep it up, Feauxcahontis, and Trump will easily get 4 more years.

Who in their right mind would vote for a 50-90% personal income tax rate?

Someone who is paying zero or next to zero taxes and wants to stick it to the "rich".

That’s a great sales tactic: “Yeah, we’re gonna raise your taxes.”

Glad they don’t think anything through.

The democratic platform is taking shape.

• Taxes of 50 to 90%
• Open Borders
• Elimination of ICE
• Gay everything
• Probably free trade without reciprocity, if for no other reason than to be anti-Trump.
• Socialism

It's like they don't even care about attracting voters any longer.

The more the Liberals talk, the more insane they get. They’re providing awesome campaign ads that we can run 24/7 against them.
