Hillarys plan for this is more towards raising taxes on those making above $100,000. Hillarys plan is that a 20% raise on the rich sounds better than 5% raise on everyone making over $35,000. Hillary won't alienate her voters in that category. At least not in purpose.

Of course, what she says is mostly lies anyway, so as far as whether or not she said are or arent....

what difference does it make.
Quite possibly the only intelligent post in the entire thread!

I'm conservative and I agree with this completely.


There's more to life than work!!!

Is there anything that could happen, any revelation that would make the Democrats on this forum finally turn on Hillary?
No. None whatsoever. They really are that stupid.

No, she didn't. You can listen to it 100 times and it's quite clear. But of course, the bias of Snopes says she might have said "won't".

Clearly, she misspoke. But don't claim she didn't say she would raise taxes on the middle class and the idiots in the audience cheered.

And BTW, she probably will raise taxes on the middle class just like Obama has. Just not via the FIT.

That's strange. I worked for 45 years and raised four kids and NEVER had any of those problems. My work-life balance has always been good and I didn't need the government to tell me what my work-life balance should be.

Clapping like seals. Arf Arf Arf. Kind of like when Senator Menendez speaks, all the Hudson County voters clap like brainless seals with their bucket of free fish ready to be thrown at them.

Question: Whats so great about getting fired because your dad dies? Whats so great about 1 month old babies not seeing their mother because she has to work? This is the reality in most of America as America is the only country without a paid family and medical leave program.

Everyone starting their own successful company (while having to care for someone with cancer for example) is totally unrealistic. Only a tiny number of people can at any time have successful companies. If one company succeeds, another will go bankrupt. That's simple logic.

At least you were smart enough to recognize that this is not her stated policy position, which is more than I can say for your fellow henchmen in yesterday's laugh of a thread on this same topic.
She said " aren't". The Trump campaign created the read along thing. Actually quite clever.

POTUS has no authority to change the tax code.
