Do you know anyone who makes over $400,000.00 a year? Neither do we.

This morning:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Hiking taxes to pay for President Biden’s massive wish list spending is the last thing American families and small businesses need.

Our nation is the land of the American Dream — not socialism.

About those subsidies…

And, as usual, there is much hilarity in the responses:

Tell us Rep. Hartzler: how much are your taxes going up? It will only raise taxes on couples who make more than $800,000. My taxes aren’t going up because I’m not that rich.

Everyone should know that Republicans like @RepHartzler called Social Security “socialism”, and Republicans like @RepHartzler called Medicare “Marxism”, all to protect their corrupt privilege, and out of dripping disdain for working men and women. [….]

Hartzler never looks at facts. She doesn’t believe in science , but she is great around the kitchen with that Home Economics degree.

I wish I had enough wealth to to pay higher taxes. What makes you so special to justify your resentment to helping America, Vicky?

Thank goodness then, that they are hiking taxes for the most wealthy Americans and the large corporations. It will help take the burden off the rest of American families and small businesses who could really use the help.

I was going to point out that this is another #HartzlerLieOfTheDay, but everyone else did an outstanding job. [….]

Yeah, that’s why you shouldn’t ever take farm subsidies. Oh wait…

Middle income and lower American families and small businesses will be the last to pay any new taxes, unlike BIG businesses and HIGH income families.

It’s corporate America’s punishment for not doing enough over the last 4 years. They were given the opportunity but chose to put personal interests ahead of community.

Wait didn’t you get farm subsidies so I guess the taxes he is proposing will affect you, right? Always looking out for your personal interests & those of your donors but not your working class constituents like me. Also quit lying. Anyway, I can’t wait to vote against you again.

But hiking taxes will not add to the deficit, and it is coming from the wealthy, not the middle class or small businesses. We need the cash.

Maybe instead of giving millions in tax breaks to the 1% & inflating our deficit $2 trillion we can start having the rich pay their fair share? The rich profit by using our tax funded roads, bridges, dams, internet but they pay very little in taxes bcz of the GQP tax deal.

There’s that.

SMALL businesses and most Americans won’t see tax hikes dummy

Direct. To the point.

hooray. his plan won’t raise taxes on moat American families and small businesses!

but… it would likely impact you, Vicky

Shouldn’t have given 2 trillion tax cut to the wealthy and we’d have that much more money to take care of the country

Hiking taxes on the wealthy to improve our communities is a good thing.

It’s *not* socialism, it’s returning tax rates to where they used to be, for corporations and for the rich.

It’s not on us as u well know. It’s on the same ones that u and your Republican gave a unnecessary tax cut to a few years ago.
TRICKLE DOWN has never worked for anyone other then the rich

Here’s a thought…. the wish list would not be so long and amount would not be so high if the elements he’s addressing were not neglected for so long. What I see is someone willing to get things done for the benefit of our country. Tweeting is not governing. Get to work.

You’d think so, but, no.

Middle class American families won’t be affected much, if at all and his policies are enjoying bipartisan popularity with folks.

Let’s give them a whirl, while you sit this one out.

Send back your stimulus checks..

.Socialism and social spending ARE NOT the SAME THING! Either the January 6th Party is just plain stupid or they purposely put out misinformation to confuse the electorate.

Bless your heart [….]

Hiking taxes on people who make over $400,000 a year isn’t a problem. Lying repugs who support insurrection is the problem. The only real question is what repugs are gonna do if enough of their base finally wakes up.

Jesus Christ. Your party has spent DECADES not doing anything and now our country is falling apart. Corporations — not “families or small businesses” — will once again be paying their fair share, and we can a) start fixing things and then b) start building new things

Try doing something productive with your time as my representative, like making my life and my family’s life and my friends’ lives better, instead of just banging the drum against non-existent “socialism”.

How much percentage of American families earn $400,000k a year?

Is that why you cut taxes for the rich? Why weren’t American families your concern then?

You’re an American Nightmare.

We’re tired of living in your Republican shitsscape evangelical caliphate. Kick rocks.

Gaslight bullshit

Are you new? Or just stupid?

You were perfectly okay with higher taxes on the middle class when Trump did it. Now you’re butthurt because Biden wants the 1% to pay their fair share.

Stop gaslighting your constituents and get some damn morals. The rich should be taxed far more.

Hiking taxes on ***the upper class & big corps*** is exactly what american families need. Not even the upper-middle class. Just the folks who donate big $$$ to people like you to push big BS like this. They’re the only ones who aren’t contributing their fair share.

So all your constituents returned
their socialist stimulus checks?
and are opting out of Social Security?
What a bunch of hypocrites.

1) individuals’ taxes will not go up under Biden’s plan except for those portions of taxable income over $400,000/year.
2) Biden’s plan is not socialism.

Quit lying.

Oh please, stop pedaling your lies. Corporations haven’t done a damn thing for anyone since Obama AND Trump reduced the tax rate. You make me sick! Do you realize how many poor folk live in your district, lol

Oh please. We all heard president Biden say the tax rates with be raised for people making over 400k. That represents a small percentage of American. 55 large corporations paid ZERO federal taxes last year. Most Americans don’t pay ZERO in federal taxes

Stop your bullshit

Raising taxes on corporations and supper rich will have no effect on working class . It’s what Americans deserve . No more trickle down economics by the GOPQ.

This isn’t socialism. My god, do they not sell dictionaries to conservative idiots?

You’re a moron. If you don’t believe in government, then get out of it.

There you go.
