Nancy Pelosi Says Democrats Will Raise Our Taxes If They Take Back The House

Democrats like to pretend that they’re the party of the middle class and poor. It’s cute. And by cute I mean nauseating. How can you claim to be “for” the middle class when you openly say you want us to keep less of our hard-earned money?

Pelosi’s openly saying that. She recently spoke at a Culver City town hall event and promised that Democrats would get rid of President Trump’s tax plan. You know– the plan that has single handedly inspired businesses to hand out bonuses to their employees. The plan that’s allowing middle class families to keep more of their own money. THAT plan. They want to get rid of it.

“Over 80 percent of the benefits go to the top 1 percent,” Pelosi said. “Eighty-six million middle-class families will see a tax increase while they advertise it as a middle-class bill.”

Actually, no. That’s completely false. The average household will receive a tax cut of about $1,610 this year. Look it up.

“One of our complaints about what they did with the tax bill is they did it in the dark of night with the speed of light,” the California Democrat said.

“We’ll sit down at the table and say … what would be a tax bill that creates growth, that creates good paying jobs as it reduces the deficit?” she said.

“It’s not about chipping at this piece or that piece, it’s about a comprehensive look at what our tax policy should be for the future,” she added.

“Secondly, we would do it so it would be transparent so that people could understand the ramifications of this, that or the other,” Pelosi promised.

HAHAHA. Democrats and transparency. That’s a good one!

This is exactly why we need to encourage everyone to vote this year. Don’t get too comfortable. I know Republican lawmakers aren’t doing everything right, but they’re not trying to take more money out of your pocket. Democrats are openly saying that at this point. We can’t give them the House. Not again.
