Joe’s entire quote:
“I mean, we may not want to demonize anybody who has made money,” he said. “The truth of the matter is, you all, you all know, you all know in your gut what has to be done. We can disagree in the margins but the truth of the matter is it’s all within our wheelhouse and nobody has to be punished. No one’s standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change.”
Clearly I have to spell this out for some people who are too thick to understand what that meant
here it goes.
Joe says:
“The truth of the matter is, you all, you all know, you all know in your gut what has to be done.
TRANSLATION
You know you need to pay more in taxes
Joe says:
We can disagree in the margins
Translation:
WE can disagree on how much I will have to raise your taxes
Joe says:
but the truth of the matter is it’s all within our wheelhouse and nobody has to be punished.
Translation:
You’re all rich as f*ck, you can handle paying more in taxes, and in no way will it hurt your lifestyle.
Joe says:
No one’s standard of living will change, nothing would fundamentally change.
Translation:
AGAIN, you’re all wealthy as all hell, paying more taxes is not going to hurt your lifestyle, you won’t have to sell your private jet, just cuz you pay more in taxes.
Did some of you REALLY not understand what he was saying?
I fear for my country if people are truly this ignorant.
