Biden’s Massive Hidden Tax Hike
That You’ll Be Forced To Pay

Original Article

Posted By: RockyTCB, 5/5/2021 6:36:02 AM

You’re about to get hit with a huge tax. No it’s not to pay for the new infrastructure bill or the Green New Deal, which will cost trillions of dollars in new taxes, though they do play a role. Nor does it come from paying for the trillions of COVID-19 “stimulus” packages that Congress has passed, even as the economy roared out of its recession late last year. No, this tax is far more insidious than all that. It’s inflation. A tax that costs everyone dearly, rich and poor alike. Americans have gotten used to having little or no inflation.

That ridiculous picture of the giant Bidens and the shrunk Carters brings back really bad memories of democrat economic policies during the Jimmy fiasco. Will we be seeing a return of the "misery index"? Not with this fake news toadies.

My deck need rebuilding, but the cost of pressure treated lumber is ridiculous. It's gonna be a while before I buy any. Food has gone up the wife's grocery budget has been constantly on the rise. Gasoline is up, There is no way that printing Trillion of dollars and handing it out to people who are not working and using it for Democrat's pet projects is not going to feed inflation.

The main way to take excess cash out of the economy to avoid inflation is to raise interest rates. Well, there's a big difference between 0% on $30T in debt (that's around $90000 owed by every man, woman and child in America) and 20% or 30% interest. Guess what all our taxes will be going towards? It won't the military or SS or Medicaid or Medicare or welfare. It will be paying the interest on our debt. There was an article about a month ago that China will be dropping the dollar as its exchange currency when dealing with Iran and far East countries. Guess where those dollars are going to come flooding back to? It's happened in the Weimar Republic, Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe and Argentina. Who says it can't happen here?

Hidden? I guess I do accept that but of course only deliberate ignorance keeps it hidden. And the idiots think they got a stimulus check! Ha what fools, the average person has paid for that several times over by now.

Every time I hear Bidet say no one making less than $400k will see a tax increase and he is raising taxes so corporations will pay their fair share I want to scream! Not because it is a a blatant economic ally impossible lie, but because so many stupid Americans believe the dim scat.

I remember the late 70s and 15% mortgage rates well - they shut me out of the real estate market until I was in my 30s, even though I was employed for the entire time. Those were ugly times with little hope of improving.

Just remember, if prices are going up, it's the value of your dollar that's going down. You need more of them to get by. Soon, under socialism you'll need a wheelbarrow full to buy a loaf of bread. At that point they should put Bidet on the $3 bill.

The fiscal insanity began under LBJ, and continued under Nixon, who famously said, "I am a Keynesian!," and behaved accordingly. Ford was stuck with the consequences of prior fiscal policies, and came up with a sily solution - a lapel pin that read WIN - whip inflation now. Jimmy Carter suffered the consequences of prior presidents' policies. (Nixon floated the dollar, you may recall.) And his own foibles - pollution controls on cars, high mileage requirements, which turned new cars into plastic fragile junkheaps-

Remember 15 August 1971...the day the US cut the US dollar ties to gold, creating a fiat currency. Inflation? That under a Republican administration. Been there, done that. If you can't pay the bill devalue the currency 20 or 30 percent until you can. I'm sure the Fed will keep it all under control...a contained burn, if you will...start looking for your WIN buttons. And don't blame Biden...we've been in an era of too easy money since Clinton and Dubya.

Even when they’re vaccinated against the coronavirus, Democrats insist on wearing masks and social distancing. Think of the absurd scene in the House chamber when President Joe Biden addressed Congress last week, or when Biden wore a mask on a Zoom call. The Democrats say theirs is the party of science but in reality it’s the party of fear, runaway emotions, and myth. Not a shred of science has established that mandatory mask wearing and stay-at-home orders have been effective

In the run-up to the 2020 elections, we were bombarded with stories about Republicans who were not only opposed to Donald Trump’s reelection but were actively campaigning on behalf of Joe Biden. These Republicans didn’t just express disdain for Trump, they sang Biden’s praises, calling him a uniter, a reasonable centrist, an honest man, someone who’d reach across the aisle “to get things done.” Now, after Biden’s first 100 days in office, we can see how well those promises have held up. Our judgment in three words: Not. At. All.

Last week, President Joe Biden said it’s the patriotic duty of Americans to wear masks while outside. Years ago, while campaigning as Barack Obama’s running mate, he said it was patriotic to pay higher taxes. It’s hard to decide if these statements are more akin to the ramblings of a child or are uncomfortably similar to Third World despots who demand obedience from their subordinated citizens. Frankly, they’re both. Making a distinction is virtually impossible. When we hear Biden try to force his view of patriotism on the country, we think of Woody Allen’s “Bananas,”

In his speech to Congress this week, President Joe Biden heartily patted himself on the back for everything good that is happening right now. He described a country in crisis when he took office and said that “After 100 days of rescue and renewal, America is ready for a take off.” The day after Biden’s speech, the Commerce Department reported GDP growth for the first three months of this year was 6.4%. New COVID cases are on the decline, and vaccines are plentiful. So, it looks like Biden’s right, doesn’t it? Except he doesn’t deserve any credit for any of

President Biden’s new $1.8 trillion plan to “expand the safety net” is just more Keynesian spending, on steroids. Along with the $2.3 trillion infrastructure boondoggle, it brings to $6 trillion the amount that will be spent this year. But anyone who thinks that swollen federal spending and much bigger government will help the economy return to “normal” after the virus is delusional. Not surprisingly, the media are doing strenuous PR work on Biden’s behalf. In particular, a spate of recent articles liken Biden to the late President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. A recent New York Times piece carried the headline “How

Those foolish enough to believe that President Joe Biden would usher in a new era of peace and harmony in America must be sorely disappointed by how his administration has performed so far. If anything, people are more polarized than ever, and by constantly appeasing the far left of his party, Biden is only making matters worse. This week, the polling firm TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence launched a new “TIPP Unity Index” to track just how divided the nation is. The finding is that a mere 33% say the country is united, while 61% think it’s divided. In other words, the

The COVID-19 pandemic has been terrible for the nation. But it has been very, very good to President Joe Biden. It won him the presidency. It opened the door to massive liberal spending plans. It is propping up his approval ratings. No wonder he continues to play up the risks, and why he’s never going to claim victory … until it serves his political purposes. Last week, Biden was on a video chat with other world leaders to talk about the so-called climate crisis. On the call were the heads of Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Russia, and many

Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty Tuesday of all counts against him in the death of George Floyd. It’s possible that the jurors believed that the evidence showed he is truly guilty of a pair of murder charges and one count of manslaughter. But what if they convicted him simply to avoid riots? Unless the jurors agree to talk about their deliberations and share their inner thoughts, we’ll never know if they surrendered to the mob and convicted a man whose guilt they had doubts about.

In other words, in the span of a week, the “newspaper of record” has been exposed for grossly misleading the public about two major stories — both designed to discredit President Donald Trump. And the mainstream press still has the audacity to label conservative news sites as unreliable? Start with Sicknick.

We thought it was a breakthrough of sorts when President Joe Biden finally threw in the towel and admitted he had created a “crisis” on the nation’s border. Alas, just one day later, the White House issued a “clarification.” He was really just talking about Central America, not the border. So it’s now official: Biden is the worst president for protecting our border ever. We don’t take that charge lightly.

Facebook was justified in banning then-President Donald Trump from its platform the day after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, but it needs to reassess how long the ban will remain in effect, the social network’s quasi-independent Oversight Board said Wednesday. The decision to uphold the ban is a blow to Trump's hopes to post again to Facebook or Instagram anytime soon, but it opens the door to him eventually returning to the platforms. Facebook must complete a review of the length of the suspension within six months, the board said.
