Biden going to raise tax on tobacco...so no one earning under $400k uses Tobacco?

[ColonelAngus]

Lets go......HUGE tax on abortions....why not?

 

[ColonelAngus]

Abortion should have a HUGE sin tax. Punish those who get impregnated unwantedly because of their own bad choices.

Kind of like anyone who does not get vaccinated.....same shit. Let them die. Let pregnant WHORES pay a tax to kill their baby.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

He was referring to federal income taxes. Specifically the taxes Trump cut.
He was responding to RW misinformation that he was going to take away the tax cuts for working level Americans. He made it clear that if you made less than $400,000 (the threshold for the highest rate on FEDERAL INCOME TAXES) your rate would not change.

In spite of your false claims, he was not talking about cigarette taxes, liquor taxes, gas or energy tax or other Federal taxes

Then why didn't he say that? Why didn't he tell people his plans only included federal income taxes.

It's people like you that are a liar and protect your fellow liars.

 

[rightwinger]

I find it interesting that Quid Pro's sycophants seem to find it very necessary to continually explain what he MEANT to say.

I am explaining what he DID say in the context of the issue at hand

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Let's tax Ben & Jerry's

That shit ain't healthy

Neither is Starbucks. Let's tax all their products they sell.

No, you lied about what he actually said, liar.

 

[rightwinger]

It's people like you that are a liar and protect your fellow liars.

Because he didn’t have to

The LIE that Republicans were telling was that Biden was going to raise EVERYONES Federal Income Taxes to what they were before the Trump tax cuts. Biden made it clear that he was only talking about incomes over $400,000

Nobody at the time gave a fuk about cigarette taxes, nobody cares now.

of course none of the communists clarified they were ONLY referring to FEDERAL INCOME TAX.

NO ONE on the left specifically said FEDERAL INCOME TAX.

They did say CAPITAL GAINS.

They did not say Tobacco.

Lefties advocate for high taxes to help people quit smoking….so apply the same logic to abortion.

Taxes on abortions will get people to stop having so many abortions.

Yes, NO FEDERAL TAX INCREASES to anyone making less than $400K.

His FEDERAL tobacco tax increase doesn't say anything about income levels.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Let’s just make tobacco products illegal. If they were invented today, no way would they ever be allowed to be sold.

The commies would never allow that because these taxes fund a bunch of their social programs. Look at the last liar that said nobody making over 400K will see a new tax of any kind, then he placed the highest federal tobacco tax in recent history. What did he do with the money? He funded the SCHIP's program. They are not about to lose their cash cow by making cigarettes illegal.

 

[Concerned American]

Say MFers, since you assholes want to justify taxing smokers because you yourselves don't smoke, and Xiden could rape your dog and you'd make excuses for him, how about we raise taxes on the following being you cocks claim "it's cuz it's not good for you", and fuck off BTW, you're scum....

1. Speak of butt-fucking, we're taxing gays for butt-fucking. That's right, it's bad for you and leads to health problems, you leftists should know that first hand.

2. Soda pop

3. Alcohol

4. Mary Jane

5. Obesity

6. Chemicals

7. And finally, liberal heads, because bet your MFing asses every word of it is bad for you.

Next he'll make a narcotics available to all and tax the hell out of them in order to save lives. SMH.

No he didn't make that clear. He said nobody making under 400K will see any tax increase. That means all taxes.

It’s a total of $11 billion revenue. Not even a rounding error.

Meanwhile smoking costs the country $300 billion a year in medical expenses and lost productivity.

Taxes were designed to help make our society functional. They were not designed as a government tool to force people into submission of government demands like the commies think they are.

So? WTF does that have to do with Biden lying about raising taxes on the poor and middle class?

We can make a list of things that "cost" the country from poor eating to lack of exercise. It's a stupid argument. The point is the commies will never allow their cash flow to all their social programs to go away. That includes state and local programs that are funded with cigarette taxes and have been for decades. That's why they will never make tobacco illegal.

No no no.

Joe meant ONLY FEDERAL INCOME TAX will increase on those earning over $400k.

He never said.....he is a liar.

Biden has called for raising the corporate income tax to 28 percent, up from the current level of 21 percent. His budget also calls for raising the top marginal income tax bracket—which applies to individuals earning over $452,000 and couples earning over $509,000—to 39.6 percent, up from the current level of 37 percent.


That means, for example, a worker earning $80,000 annually would not see the government extract a larger share of her income via payroll taxes, which fund Social Security and health care entitlements, or via income taxes. But the higher taxes that Biden has proposed on corporations would, under the TPC analysis, be passed along to shareholders and workers in the form of lower investment earnings and compensation, respectively. As a result, many middle- and low-income individuals and households could end up with a larger tax burden even without seeing their taxes hiked directly.


"For those looking to see if Biden kept his promise to not raise taxes for those making $400,000 or less, the answer is: Mostly, but not entirely," writes Howard Gleckman, a senior fellow at the TPC. As Gleckman explains, it depends whether you evaluate Biden's pledge as a promise not to raise taxes directly on Americans earning less than $400,000 a year or whether you consider the full consequences of higher corporate taxes, which are ultimately paid by people.

Taxes were meant to fund gov't and infrastructure---not to create or promote social change. Somewhere along the line, some idiot liberal decided through pretzel logic that their sole reason for being was to force social change and wealth redistribution.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Joe is such a lying bag of SHIT.



HOW COME NO MENTION OF WHAT TRUMP DID TO THE RICH VIA SALT? HE MADE THE RICH PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE!!!

 

[Concerned American]

No no no.

Remember when 2+2=4 and you didn't have to twist yourself into a spring to actually understand that what a person said and what they meant were not the same. SMH Before we became a nation of BALD-FACED LIARS.
