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.

"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...
