Here is what looks like a pretty run of the mill bullet list of Democrat talking points on taxes. This is the kind of stuff you find on the lefty candidates campaign sites, in emails from Democrat Mark Fernald month after month after month, or from the mouths of other lefties who run the Granite State Fair Tax Coalition.
- End the Bush-era tax giveaways to banks, corporations and wealthy individuals.
- Close corporate tax loopholes, especially billions in tax subsidies for the oil companies.
- Raise new revenues by restoring 70% tax rate on incomes over $1 million.
- Raise $150 billion a year by imposing a financial transaction tax on Wall Street speculation.
- Cut the military budget by half. Bring troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq.
- Create jobs in a major public works program to repair our nation’s infrastructure and to make our nation number one in “green industry.” Target the jobs to hard-hit inner city communities and the rural poor.
- Fully fund a national health care program and drastically increase federal aid to education, Pell Grants, and other vital human needs programs.
- Remove the cap on the Social Security payroll tax, so that CEOs and hedge fund managers pay the same rate as the rest of us.
Of course this list comes to us from the Communist party USA website.
And if you wander around the web site a bit, you’d be hard pressed to find anything the Communist party USA wants or advocates that your State or National Democrat party does not.
So why don’t they just come out and say they are communists?
Becasue you wouldn’t vote for them.
But they are communists. So why are you still voting for them?
