Obama's a Sell-Out on Taxes? Not So Fast

Obama signs tax deal into law

Obama had his chance to raise 'appropriate' taxes on the rich, but he did not do it. I suspect no democrat really thinks Democrats need to raise the taxes on the rich because so many Democrats are rich and so many of them get all their campaign funds from rich donors.

I'm saying there is no evidence that Democrats in recent memory have raised taxes on the wealthy like they tell their gullible mobs of followers that they will do if given the power.

The Many Ways Democrats Would Tax The Rich

Democrats have proposed many ways to raise taxes on the very rich, driven by the twin desires to boost revenue and address growing wealth inequality. But while these taxes may seem similar, they operate quite differently and may have diverse economic effects.

Elizabeth Warren and other Democrats proposed their wealth tax in 2019 and in 2020 the Democrats controlled both houses and the presidency. Did the Democrats ever pass the much-hyped tax on the wealthy they have been promising for so many decades?

if you don't control the senate with 60 votes, you can't force anything to be passed, *****. lol.

So that's the problem? Democrats failed to hike taxes on the rich because they did not have a 60-seat majority under a Democrat president?

Democrats did have a 60-seat majority in the Senate for brief periods in 2009 and 2010 but they only passed universal healthcare taxes in those moments of sheer joy but did nothing to raise taxes on their rich donors.

Not having a supermajority in the senate is a problem for passing bills yes

That super majority rarely ever happens, letting Democrats off the hook with their constituents who ask why they talk about raising taxes on the rich but never actually do it.

Sadly, even though leading Democrats know they will never do anything to satisfy the desire of their poor followers to rob the rich and give to the poor, the poor deluded Democrat followers do not know their leaders have no intention of doing what they claim they will do.
