  • GOP rep: Middle-class workers don’t deserve tax cuts because that’s “socialism”



    TUR: Corporations were also sitting on 2.3 trillion dollars in cash — 2.3 trillion dollars already before this tax cut. So if they’re sitting on that much cash and they’re making that much money, and we already know that the pay rates between the CEOs of corporations and the workers of corporations is so far different than what it used to be 50, 60 years ago, why would you say, “Hey listen, I need more of those corporations to have more money.” Why not give it directly to the folks — why not do the job creation by giving the money to the middle class, to the lower class, to people who make less money so that they can reinvest in themselves?

    PITTENGER: Well, I understand your narrative, and frankly, that’s the concept of socialism. And socialism never has worked. When all you’re doing is transferring wealth from one person to another —

    TUR: No, it’s a tax cut, it’s not socialism. It’s a tax cut. They’re going to do a tax cut —

    PITTENGER: — what you need to do is create a bigger pie, and you expand your economy, you create more jobs, and then you have more revenue back to the American government.

    TUR: Tax cuts are not socialism, sir. Sir, tax cuts are not socialism. It’s a tax cut we’re talking about. We’re not talking about a government handout, I’m talking about a tax cut.

    He said nothing of the sort.

    Tur put words in his mouth, and your gruber self fell for it.

    You grubers really are easy to snooker. Tur is an idiot, and here you let her pull the wool over your eyes.

    You should know Tur is a joke after Trump humiliated her on air a few times.

        I noticed she said that tax cuts are not socialism over and over which is not what he said.

        Misquotes and misinformation to fit the tired narrative that the rich hate the poor and middle class.

        Divisive class warfare from the left as usual.

        Because without a reason to hate, the left has nothing.

            Yes, I know and I read it.

            You should read it, and this time comprehend it.

            She did a 'bait-and-switch' and I'm surprised you can't see it.

              Now try and explain this to Motorcity.

              Good luck with that.

                  And here we have another one who likes to skew words and corrupt what people say.

                  I mean, why?

                  Really.

                    I'm not skewing anything. I am asking you a simple question, regardless of your previous comment. Thank you for lumping me in with a group based upon one instance where you even misinterpret what I asked...... it's a straightforward, simple question:

                    Do you believe that the rich care about the poor and the middle class?
