Mitt Romney Warns Taxing Billionaires Will Cause Them To Buy Paintings Instead Of Stocks

[Biff_Poindexter]

Democrats will chase innovators away. Talk to other countries that have tried this, and they'll tell you, the billionaires simply moved away to greener pastures. Democrats apparently would rather see tomorrow's innovations come from foreign countries.

Billionaires are not leaving because of taxes....in fact, billionaires are not leaving period.....

Do you folks get tired of falling for the same dumb shit??

How the hell do you folks claim there is a conspiracy by the globalist elites to rig the system against "the working class"

But the minute anything is done to address it -- you whine like a bitch and rush to protect those poor defenseless billionaires...

 

[mudwhistle]

You haven't moved on from him....

The same goofy ass arguments to justify fucking over the middle class to lavish luxuries on the privileged few is the same goofy shit you are still committed to....

You want to move on from him -- stop advocating for the same shit he advocates for

Sorry, dipshit.
If I agree with one thing he says....it doesn't mean I agree with everything he says.
Romney is full of shit.
But strangely....he's working for the same people that gave us Biden.
So you must support Romney then.

Romney: If There's A Wealth Tax, The Rich Will Just Buy Art

Typical lies coming from Mitt, a man who would be one of those rich Americans paying higher taxes.

crooksandliars.com

"Republican freakouts over taxes is nothing new since they've been doing it since 1980, but what is new are the ridiculous claims they make to try and screw the working class of this country. Romney immediately lied on Bret Baier's Fox News show when he said the Build Back Better Democratic legislation was not popular with the American people.

It certainly is. Especially taxing the very wealthy, of which Mitt Romney is a member. But his lies didn't stop there. Romney said, "It's not a good idea to tax billionaires -- they're gonna look at it and say I don't wanna invest in the stock market because as that goes up I'm gonna get taxed -- so maybe I will instead invest in a ranch or in paintings or things that don't build jobs"



Reminder...this was the guy GOP voters were gung-ho about nominating and voting to be president less than 10 years ago....I wonder if conservatives will ever get tired of fearmongering about what billionaires will do if they are taxed.
My largest investment is my house...that is where most of my wealth is....when my property value goes up, my taxes go up....so it is insane to me that a guy who has a fucking elevator in his house for his cars believes that the wealthy shouldn't pay taxes on their wealth....trickle-down economics is not a thing, it doesn't work..never has...

But as much as the GOP base hates Mitt ....he knows that they will always be cheerleaders and worshipers of those with wealth.....even if it means voting against their own best interests....all for the sake of feeling like they belong to the team...

Billionaires are moving their businesses and their assets out of the US because of Democrat taxes.
Democrats know this....because most of them are buddies with all of these billionaires.
Billionaires will never suffer under a Democrat Administration.....only the poor and Middle-Class suffers.

He makes an excellent point, people will just look other ways to invest their money.

Maybe this is Xiden goal...to get people to buy his son's art?

Biden runs his White House like the Chinese are writing his EOs for him. All he has to do is sign them....and his handlers take care of the rest.

You do understand the difference between property taxes and this so called wealth tax. Right?

Also, have you ever heard of the equal protection clause in the Constitution?

Thats money laundering, not investment.

buying a painting is money laundering? do tell

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

You understand what went on.

And I'm laughing at the phrase, "provided to them".

And I'm laughing at the phrase, "provided to them".

So you note you understand but thought you would pretend you didn't. This is done when you have no actual rebuttal.

Who provided trillions to them? How?

How much has the stock market rose since 2008?

A lot.

It isn't because the economy has been so great. It's because of the trillions that have been pumped into it.

And that's why we need a wealth tax, because the Fed?

This is a fiat currency problem.

Repeal the Federal Reserve Act and anything following it. Consequences be damned.

Hunter Biden's work isnt a mast piece and never will be worth five hundred grand ...lol

When the Fed buys $1 billion in US Treasury bonds, how much of that is "provided" to the Waltons?
How much is "provided" to Bezos? You have a spreadsheet?

If you want to bribe "the big guy", do you hand him a bag of cash.....or do you buy a "painting" from Hunter?

 

[pknopp]

How much is "provided" to Bezos? You have a spreadsheet?

You are simply trying to avoid the issue. They have been inflated millions in the very least.

It wasn't provided to the Waltons or Bezos?
It inflated ALL the stock?
Even your stock?

Trillions. How much has the stock market rose since 2008? It isn't because the economy has been so great. It's because of the trillions that have been pumped into it.

There is a fundamental problem because we exist at the whim of the Fiat Currency. And they who own the Federal Reserve are growing more and more powerful as we grow more and more dependent on them as we lose whatever is left of our foundation.

The Federal Reserve is part of the US government.
