We know that all ten people who were on the stage last night for the Democratic debates are planning to raise taxes….a lot. But only admitted to it. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders.
Bernie Sanders has been admitting all along that he wants to raise taxes to pay for his socialist agenda. Biden and Harris want to roll back the tax cuts that lead to millions of jobs being created for the American people. They claim that the tax cuts only went to the rich.
Like all Democrats, they lie. However, as the Daily Caller previously reported, “nearly 70% of households earning between $30,000 and $50,000 got a tax cut, and more than 80% of households earning between $50,000 and $75,000 got a tax cut.”
The first three Democratic presidential candidates at Thursday night’s debate admitted that they would raise taxes on the American people to pay for their proposals.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who was the first candidate to speak on the debate stage, supports highly expensive government programs like “Medicare for All” and eliminating student loan debt. After some prodding from debate moderator Savannah Guthrie, Sanders admitted that he would have to raise taxes on the middle class in order to pay for such programs.
Sanders admission was followed up by former Senator and Vice President Joe Biden stating that he would eliminate the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which Biden claimed only benefited the wealthy. However, as the Daily Caller previously reported, “nearly 70% of households earning between $30,000 and $50,000 got a tax cut, and more than 80% of households earning between $50,000 and $75,000 got a tax cut.”
Biden’s elimination of the Trump tax cuts would significantly affect the middle class.
Finally, California Sen. Kamala Harris was asked how she would pay for the programs proposed by Democrats, and again pivoted to repealing the Trump tax cuts.
