Making the meme that "Pelosi will raise taxes" when she pledged that Democrats would overhaul the tax bill into one that “creates growth, creates good-paying jobs, as it reduces the deficit.”, is like saying Trump didn't know about the hush cash paid to Daniels....dishonest.

one is irrelevant to the other........
there is no meme...........it is a fact that she said it.
We already have a plan in place that does what she claims she's going to do.......so, we don't need her plan

Now for reality.




Pelosi: If We Win, We're Going to Turn Back the Clock By Repealing the New Law and Massively Increasing Taxes.....


Nancy Pelosi didn't have a great day yesterday, making an embarrassing, ' . Oops:


Less of a laughing matter, however, was Pelosi's strong implication that if they win in the fall, her party will seek to repeal the totality of the GOP-passed tax law and start from scratch:


The moderator of the event asked Pelosi if Democrats would re-write the tax bill from scratch or focus on reversing specific elements. “One of our complaints about what they did with the tax bill is they did it in the dark of night with the speed of light,” Pelosi said...“We’ll sit down at the table and say … what would be a tax bill that creates growth, that creates good paying jobs as it reduces the deficit?” Pelosi said. “It’s not about chipping at this piece or that piece, it’s about a comprehensive look at what our tax policy should be for the future.”


Uprooting the entire tax law would inflict massive tax increases on nearly every American family. Approximately nine-in-ten taxpayers are experiencing a reduction in their tax burden thanks to the new policy, on which every last Democrat in Congress voted 'no.' Republicans' parallel programs of de-regulation and tax relief have helped fuel and sustain a sizzling US economy, the positive effects of which are simply undeniable. Voters, who are quite wary of President Trump overall, recognize this, and have rewarded him with much stronger marks on taxes and the economy than on other fronts. Public support for tax reform has flipped from badly upside-down to right-side-up, as Democratic myths and demagoguery have been disproven in real time by people's lived reality -- even as people like Pelosi sneer at the progress. Talking about undoing tax reform means that Democrats are willing to hammer families, individuals and small businesses with tax increases, including the overwhelming majority of middle income households.


Two more points: First, while demagoguing corporate tax cuts will be an easier political sell for Democrats, it's important to remember not only that those reductions are a key driver of the robust economic climate, but also that the new corporate rates are a sorely-needed correction to a previous status quo that put American companies at a distinct competitive disadvantage. Prior to reform, US corporates rate -- both statutory and effective -- were among the very highest in the developed world. The Republican law brings the United States roughly into the middle of the pack on these measures, a major improvement. The problem was so glaring that even President Obama proposed slashing corporate taxes during his term in office. The GOP finally delivered results on that front, providing pro-competitiveness parity and sorely-needed certainty to job creators. Threatening to scramble the rules again would threaten to undermine the important economic gains achieved under the new law.


And second, to Pelosi's claim that the reform plan was rammed through at "the speed of light," the truth is that it was passed under a process at least somewhat resembling regular order. It entailed committee hearings, amendments and votes in each house, full debate on both floors, and a bicameral conference committee to iron out differences between the two chambers' legislative text. It took months of work, and years of groundwork. Oh, and the notion that Nancy Pelosi -- a top Obama ally -- is worried about deficits is laughable on its face. Her position is that the government virtually always spends too little.....snip~

Typical leftist....trying to deflect with the deficit. Of course when Demos talk about bringing the deficit down they fail to mention how each and every time they cause spending to go up.

I read the article - she wants to find a way to benefit the middle class instead of the rich. I don't see it happening. That said, taxes probably do need to be raised or spending needs to be cut drastically, preferably both. Something needs to be done to deal with the deficit and it might hurt a little. It cannot be done without raising taxes; cutting spending will not be enough. That is the reality of having a government spending out of control for decades.
