During a White House event honoring Paralympic athletes who represented the USA in the Beijing Winter and Tokyo Summer games, the president stood for a photo with several athletes, some of whom were wheelchair-bound, when he appeared to jokingly say, “don’t jump.”
“Here we go,” Biden said as he put his arm around an athlete.
“Don’t jump!” Biden exclaimed, prompting laughter. “She’s our photographer, look at her.”
It is unclear who Biden intended the comment for.
Every day with Brandon. No need to dig in years old archives.
Small wonder he loves some truth ministry.
Please post where he said that.

Over time, high-income Americans have shouldered a larger and larger share of the cost of government. Even the 2017 tax cuts—reviled by the political left—reduced tax bills for the lowest-income Americans by 10% while only cutting taxes for the top 1% by 0.04%. After the tax cuts, the rich pay a larger—not smaller—share of income taxes.

Keep in mind, democrats blocked those cuts becoming permanent, risking the poor’s hefty 10 percent cut because they just can’t stand I got a .4% reduction.

He sure sold this as a tax hike…
I do very well. I don’t mind paying a little more in taxes. The middle class is getting clobbered in this country." A month later, he unveiled his tax plan in Trump Tower and declared, “It’s going to cost me a fortune, which is actually true.”
Now you want to hold a candidate to his campaign promises? Get outta here with that. You fought that tooth and nail with your guy.
Y’all are so damn politically bi-polar you can’t keep your stories straight.
They have most of the money, of course they pay more in tax revenue… you know…math.
Hey… at least you admit he said it.
Progress.
Well you can be happy that I am paying more taxes now then ever before. As long as you don’t stop to think that how I compensated for that was to reduce charitable donations and hiring people in the poor and middle classes anyway.
Quit putting words in my mouth. I was not speaking specifically of Trump.
If you are paying a lot in taxes, that means you are making good money.
Would you prefer a $50K annual income, with a 6% effective tax rate
or
$400k annual income with a 20% effective tax rate?
I choose option 2
As I just explained, you aren’t hurting me when you raise my taxes, I have far more then I need to make myself comfortable. When my taxes go up I don’t cut back on groceries, I cut back on charity and hiring people from the poor and middle class.
For instance I am in the process of buying this so I can fire my lawn guy. He is not rich.
Still feel good about raising my taxes?
Trump’s latest venue for his soak-the-rich rhetoric was an interview with the Wall Street Journal, in which he declared “the truth is the people I care most about are the middle-income people in this country who have gotten screwed.” He then proceeded to open the door to higher taxes on top earners, by name-dropping his pal Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots. From the Journal (emphasis mine):
Jul 26, 2017, 12:10pm EDT
And if there’s upward revision it’s going to be on high-income people. You know, I was with Bob Kraft the other night. He came to have dinner with me. He’s a friend of mine. And as he left, he said, Donald, don’t worry about the rich people. Tax the rich people. You got to take care of the people in the country. It was a very interesting statement. I feel the same way. …
…and this is what you’re basing it on and yet he was already elected President? K.
Plus note he said if he had to raise taxes on anyone, he didn’t have to and he didn’t.

Don’t you just hire people, when you business needs more people, irregardless of the tax rate?
Yes, you probably would have bought in any way.

Did you miss this part of the article:
In August 2015, then-candidate Trump told Bloomberg: “I do very well. I don’t mind paying a little more in taxes. The middle class is getting clobbered in this country." A month later, he unveiled his tax plan in Trump Tower and declared, “It’s going to cost me a fortune, which is actually true.”
Yes, and the huge increase in Democrats wanting the government to control speech happened when they took over the government. Nobody wants their own opinions censored, just the views of those who oppose them.
Now, use your graph to compare Democrats who want censorship to control the opposition while they are in power to the percentage of Republicans who wanted to use censorship to control the opposition when they were in power.
That gives a clue as to which party is really the most extreme in our history.
