If you listen carefully, I'm pretty sure she said "we AREN'T going to raise taxes on the middle class." In the video recording, it is hard to discern the difference between ARE and AREN'T - notice that if you say them fast enough and the recording is grainy enough, they could be misconstrued.

Hillary has come out with statements saying that she supports not raising income taxes on middle class. This is well documented. Here, I did the homework for you:

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has proposed $1.1 trillion in tax increases, according to a new report, though she plans to call for a tax cut for the middle class.

Hillary Clinton on Tax Reform

Quote:
Q: You said it's your goal not to raise taxes on families making under $200,000. Can you say that's a promise?
A: That is a pledge that I'm making. I don't think we should be imposing new big programs that are going to raise middle class families' taxes. We just heard that most families haven't had a wage increase since 2001 since the end of the last Clinton administration when incomes did go up for everybody. We've got to get back to where people can save money again.

From her own campaign website:
Quote:
Here are eight ways we can give American families a raise:

1. Cut middle-class taxes.

Hillary is proposing middle-class tax breaks to help families cope with the rising cost of everyday expenses, like child care and education- and she’s announced new tax credits to help families caring for an ill or aging family member. She’ll pay for them by raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans and closing loopholes in our tax code.

Dems are criminals who have been stealing the money of the middle class for decades.

Let's all just pause and savor the sweet irony here..

Conservative muttonheads launch a thread to try to point out how dumb Clinton supporters are... but stupidly running with a misunderstood video snippet that they interpret in a manner that passes no critical thinking test.

Priceless.

Default Hillary Clinton Taxes

So Hillary Clinton says she will raise taxes for the middle class.

WATCH: Crowd Cheers Clinton's Call To 'Raise Taxes On The Middle Class' | Daily Wire

AND THE CROWD CHEERS? WTF!!! The middle class is a dying breed. Why would she tax the middle class? This b$$ch is playing with my lively hood. WE CANNOT have HILLARY. I like trump policies BUT NOT HIM. I cannot stand trump. If he gets president I am going to hate hearing about him on the news all the time. I also don't think he will become president so I looked into Hilary's plans. I saw this. I am just getting worried. America is seriously going to fall into a depression I fear with either of these people. Anyways, my commentary is done. Please don't turn this into a Trump vs Hillary debate, just about her tax plan.

I think trumps plan is so much better. What do you think? https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/tax-reform

I wish Hillary would take his plan.

you don't like trump because you have sensitive skin and are easily offended. If you can get some thicker skin and not be as soft as charmin, you might actually appreciate Trump's candor and forwardness. If you 'cant stand' a person you never met, that's a you problem....which means you have to look within to see why you feel that way. Its most likely a personal shortcoming rather than something a television personality said or did. There's still time,you can fix this, just address it, look within, you can figure it out.

Um... I don't like how un professional he is. It's not that I'm soft it's that's is don't like his persona, especially some of his recent comments. Anyways I STILL support him! WAYY more than corrupt stealing Hillary. She sucks I pray she isn't president! If she is hopefully she won't steal stuff from the White House again....

It sounds like she said we are raising tax on middle class, whatever left after her husband helped to demolish it.

That's some candidate you Democrats have there.
I agree. As much as he claimed he didn't pay enough tax but he invests in a company in Canada to avoid paying tax. Hypocrite.

Looking at the context it sure seemed like she misspoke.

Replayed it five times.


The crowd cheered each time.


Did they mishear when she misspoke?


I think it was a Freudian slip on her part and the true sentiments of the mooch class on their part.




Think anyone behind her is capable of understanding the Buffett loophole or the Berkshire model?


Warren Buffett
