Tlaib: Let’s Take Money from Rich, Give It ‘Back to the People that Earned It’
Breitbart, Jul 22, 2019

Far-left “Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) spoke at the NAACP convention over the weekend and railed against the GOP tax cuts in a pitch for her anti-poverty BOOST Act, promising to take money from the rich and give it “back to the people that earned it.”

Tlaib introduced her anti-poverty legislation – the Building Our Opportunities to Survive and Thrive (BOOST) Act – last month and spoke about it at the NAACP convention over the weekend. The proposal offers a guaranteed income – up to $6,000 per year – to families and individuals under certain financial thresholds via a “refundable tax credit that can be paid monthly.”

The Michigan lawmaker’s BOOST Act serves as her response to what she calls the “GOP Tax Scam,” despite the fact that two-thirds of Americans will pay less in taxes in 2018, thanks to the tax cuts.
 
“Recently, I introduced the Boost Act. This legislation completely repeals the GOP Tax Scam that is only helping wealthy individuals – the rich, the corporations,” she told the crowd.

I do like that. My other favorite so far is "The Jihad Squad".

Rep. Rashida Tlaib told a Detroit audience this week “the rich” didn’t earn their wealth and need to have it funneled to others via her legislation.

The Michigan Democrat told the NAACP convention this week that “wealthy individuals” are the target of her “BOOST Act” — Building Our Opportunities to Survive and Thrive — because their recent assets were acquired after the “GOP tax scam.”

“That’s what we do with our public dollars,” she said Monday. “We give it back to the people — the people that earned it.”

The Democrat’s comments also lambasted corporations.

“We’re going to go ahead and put [some of their tax returns] in the pockets of folks like everyday Americans,” she added.

Once again, I present "the American timeline":
2019: USA -- United States of America
2027: USSA -- United Socialist States of America
2035: USSSA -- United Soviet Socialist States of America
2042:  ?????

No doubt about it. She's also an economic illiterate.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

As best as I can figure it, that program includes giving money to a whole lot of people who don't work at all, and a huge additional number who don't pay any federal income taxes.  The idea that either group "earned" that money is absurd.

I was never in doubt.  Not even for a second.
