Will hilary clinton raise taxes?

Question

and by how much?

Answer 1

Of course she will.

First because she is a liberal democrat and that is their nature.

Second if she is able to enact all of the social programs she has promised so far she would have to.

Answer 2

Bill Clinton's "success" was largely due to the ripple effect of Reganomics, as well as the dot-com boom, which as we all remember soared upwards and then crashed just after Bill made an executive order to Monica.

She will not raise taxes. Democrats don't raise taxes. They simply "feel" it's more important to help the "vanishing middle class" by enacting a more "progressive tax code".

Here, I'll even give her a few different ways to phrase this so her voter base will jump all over it:

"We're not raising taxes. We're simply adjusting the amounts of net income allowed under the current code as it applies to the high income earners in this nation."

"We're rolling back the Bush tax cuts, and attaching a few other necessary changes this administration has not addressed on behalf of the American people."

"It's necessary for us to start thinking about the common good. To that end, it might be necessary for high-income earners to pay their fair share."

Perhaps government's best approach would be addressing the fact that Americans are overtaxed as it is.

People aren't interested in fair taxes-- if they were, the top .01% of income earners wouldn't be paying 17% of the tax burden in this country. What people want to do is stick it to the rich. Hillary knows she can wave the oppurtunity to do that in people's faces, and they'll line up to vote her in, having little concept of what she has in store for them.

Answer 3

Is Bill Clinton unfaithful? Of course she will. She even doesn't know by how much but she will raise them.

Answer 4

Is she a Democrat? That's what they do. All the Dems have a health care program. I'm not against it in principle, but it will make your taxes go UP. And I love the "Bush tax cuts for the rich" crap. I'm poor as dirt, but since Bush's tax cuts I've been bringing home more than I ever have.

Answer 5

Only to the tune of several hundred billion dollars. She will have to do what she can to crush whats left of the middle class and stick it to the people that have money. You know, the ones that invest in industry and create jobs and start new business. She will go after their cash reserves so no one will have the chance to prosper.

Answer 6

I hear that Monaco is getting quite a few enquiries on how to set up bank accounts there. I suppose that the rich are poised to move their money out of the country if Hillary wins.

Answer 7

She will raise taxes on upper income folks. It will help the economy just like in did when Bill raised them in 1993. The money will be used for deficit reduction, lowering inflation and interest rates resulting in a more rapiding growing economy. Greenspan approves.

Answer 8

She will certainly allow the irresponsible tax cuts of Bush's first term to expire. She has not laid out specific tax levels but while we are running record deficits and not even funding some of the president's programs (eg NCLB) something has to change.

Answer 9

All democrats raise taxes. Trust me taxes up, housing market crumbles!!

Answer 10

Without a doubt! Her social programs are going to cost beaucoup bucks and so if she's elected you can be sure that you'll be paying Mr. Taxman more.

How much more? Hard to say until she's elected. Meanwhile....where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?
