Hillary Clinton called for raising
taxes on the “middle class” while campaigning on Monday in Omaha, NE.
Joined by left-wing Democrat billionaire Warren Buffett, she received applause
from those in attendance.
“Because while Warren is standing up
for a fairer tax code, Trump wants to cut taxes for the super-rich,” said
Clinton. “Well, we’re not going there, my friends. I’m telling you, right now -
we’re going to write fairer rules for the middle class and we are going to
raise taxes on the middle class!”
Presumably a slip of the tongue,
Clinton’s comment came amid broader Marxist-themed demagoguery about forcing
“the wealthy” to “pay their fair share” of taxes.
Buffet was praised for comments he
made in 2012 where he claimed to pay a lower percentage of his income as
federal tax than his secretary, feeding into the Occupy Wall Street movement’s
class warfare narratives.
No comments were made about the approximately 45% of Americans who do not pay federal income taxes. In 2014, between 51 and 55 percent of total federal income taxes were paid by individuals earning $250,000 or more.

Clinton did not articulate any
limiting principle as to what share of GDP should be composed of governmental
spending. No upper limit for taxation was articulated, either.
