Oh Ms. Ronna, I think the ‘rona got to your brain. Please put your phone down, you’re embarrassing yourself. Relax. Have some cake.
Edit: Oops, here’s the link. You can’t make this stuff up: https://twitter.com/GOPChairwoman/status/1317469259136716801
2nd edit: Holy Cow I’m on FP! First time ever, thanks! No need to send anything, just give a hug to your cat, dog, favorite hooman, etc. Don’t forget to be kind to yourself, too :)
Ifyourenotfirstyourelast
I could certainly be alone, but I would be for raising taxes if it culminated in more services for people instead of military spending
TheDogEnd
Well, it's pretty much par for the course to see a member of the GOP lying through their teeth
whyWontKeiraKnightleyReturnMyPhoneCalls
Ronna dropped the “Romney” from her name because Trump wanted her to. Maybe don’t listen to what Ronna has to say about anything.
DVSBSTrD
@OP Wait... when did this "recovery" start?
macdeezy
Hes getting rid of trumps tax cut, but he's also not raising taxes.
MightestGlowCloud
If we're making stuff up, Biden promised every tax payer a set robot. You must have paid more than 750 in taxes
Silverwingedfluff
Republicans Lying to scare the ignorant. Yet another not surprise.
IDownvoteAllPoliticalPosts
Isn't the top 1% a super low number (relatively), like 250,00 gross household a year?
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Doubt it, since per individual it's like $422k. Household would include multi-income households so probably higher.
IDownvoteAllPoliticalPosts
Alright, was prolly thinking of sumthin else. Thanks for clearing it up!
IAmAnthonyStark
I truly don’t remember a time where one party, on the whole, lied this consistently. Especially over things so easy to fact check.
Angyliqueone
This info is running on an ad on TV. When I saw it I cringed. Some idiots will believe anything.
austinwhitefoot5
The claim is that Biden is raising taxes by repealing the TCJA (Trump's tax law) *in addition to* hiking the rate over 400k. 1/2
austinwhitefoot5
No idea where the 82% came from, but per NYT, about 65% got a tax cut.

Obviously, she means 82% of the Americans she cares about, and everyone wise just doesn't exist as far as she's concerned.
ElbowDeepInAHoofbun
The 18% is probably comprised of the staff at the country club that mixes her drinks just the way she likes them.
ElbowDeepInAHoofbun
Everyone else*, stupid Swype.

Whats with these stupid names, Did they run out of D’s on the day she was born? What, cant name her Donna? Fuck it throw a R in there.”

Well, even if he meant it like Ronna implies: The middle of an economic recovery is the best time to raise taxes. Acutally it should go like
Zahnradfee
that: When the economy goes down, the state spends money and lowers taxes (therefor depleting its assets) and when the economy goes up, the>
Zahnradfee
states decreases spending and raises the taxes (thereby refilling its assets).
Camelspotting
I think most people would call that the end rather than the middle.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Also known as anticyclical investment/financial policy. It seems counterintuitive, because why would you want to impair an economic boom?(1)
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Because the upside is: the following recession will also be mitigated. Less brutal ups and downs. (2)
Caliban1972
What she means is 82% of the Americans that matter will be affected by this tax. That's the "we" that can't afford Biden.
fearlessfloyd
Ronna is Mitt Romney's niece, which must be fun at Thanksgiving.
CWrightPills
Rona has ruined many family gatherings recently

Republicans need a puppet and ya fit, got their hands so far up your rear call ya mitt - epic rap battles of history

Gotta be weird being related to a guy who would have made a significantly better president than Trump, is a Republican that doesn't come->
LincLoud
across as a gigantic ass and has had a decent political career.
supervillainsevilmoustache
He’s Biden without the Mormon baggage or the blatant catering to the 1%. Gotta remember Romney married into billions, is a hedge fund guy
memberwar
Trump made her change her name when he won election. She used to go by Ronna McDaniel Romney. He made her drop the "Romney.." She=owned.
sirbartonslady
Was it Trump, or the RNC? Id heard the RNC asked her to
BullfrogStormcroak
Source on that? It's some dehumanizing shit if true.
eadanke
wapo article called "Trump calls Romney ‘a great man,’ but works to undermine him and block Senate run" open incognito to skip paywall
TheBeyonder3191
I read that as Ronna McDonald Romney and had a good chuckle
gradeD
Granddaughter and niece of governors. Now she lies professionally for trump. Talk about failing upwards.
gradeD
...or succeeding downwards, I'm honestly not sure.
fearlessfloyd
I did not know that but it totally sounds like a demand he'd make. Thanks!
PeeterGrant
Blatantly lying like this is reason enough to stay the fuck away from the GOP. I mean, politicians spin stuff but they really take the cake.
highnatized
Do Americans believe that 82% of Americans make at least $400k? That would actually explain why people are so pissed off at each other
MelodyLightfoot
I'll translate republican for you "The evil Socialist Joe Biden promised on day 1 he would raise taxes of 82% of Americans THAT MATTER to us
Skywatcher16
as a whole, no most dont. but the loud dumbass SOBs of the GOP? yeah. more than likely
Fyreworx
It's funny what generations of being lied to will do.
AxelZonvolt
Don't forget terrible education.
RXJ235231
I don't enjoy paying extra taxes but the country is too poor to afford not to.
deaddogsmuggler
Why would you change your name to Ronald McDonalds
IG1Fields
If 82% of the people that Ronna hangs out with make more than $400k a year, then she’s right. Otherwise, she’s a twit or a liar - or both?
Saxam0phone
Ronna McDaniel? Ronald McDonald? Coincidence? I think not!!!!
IveGotRedOnMe
BoomGoesTheThermonuclearDevice
Therefore Ronna McDaniel is a fucking clown.
theytastelikeburning
EvilDeadTed
She's the generic version of Ronald McDonald.
MantisTobagganMD
We have Ronald McDonald at home
RogueMachinae
I love how the argument of "we can't afford this" yet we can afford all sorts of other shit....
tarask
Every time a republican says "We cannot afford X" it's a lie. Every. Single. Time.
funkystay
I don't care who you are. $400,000 a year makes you wealthy.
somnif
Hell, from my standing, 40k a year makes you wealthy. I'd be THRILLED to bring in that much.
Skywatcher16
most americans would be.

Meaning she had some corn up her *** buried so deep they had to mine it out?? That's as true as her ideas, and should be spread as much
iLynux
You can say ass. No one will fuss at you.
theshinobi23
"Ronna McDaniel" is also dangerously close to "Ronald McDonald" Coincidence? I think not.
justarandombloke
Come on dude, Ronald was a clown not a fuckin idiot.
MerfishAriel
Hey @skipweasel, how are you so good at flipping around these anagrams?
skipweasel
Well, I can do them on paper, but not fast enough to keep up with usersub, so I cheat https://wordsmith.org/anagram/

Lol. I got news for you...
DarkRedCape
Do 99% of Americans really make less than $400k a year?
Lazarillo
I didn't dig deep, just a quick look at Wikipedia, and based on 2014 census data there, about 3% makes $250k+. That's as high as it divided.
RanOutofWit
A quick statistical check on 2019 incomes showed that the bar to get in the top 1% of American earners was 326K. So, more than 99%.
Jineapple
Is that surprising to you? $400k a year is a lot of money.
MyHarryPotterHasHogwarts
Actually, less than 1% of Americans make more than $400k a year: https://twitter.com/UberFacts/status/1317488092039639040
RanOutofWit
The vast majority of Americans make under $100k a year. The average household income is $63k, and that's usually 2-3 jobs.
DarkRedCape
I read the other day that Jeff Bezos made $13b in one day. The wealth divide between the 1% and the 99% is absolutely staggering.
Goldensands
Wealth increase scams like that are common as well, far from just him. Iirc insider stock trading is one method.
customcartoons
Well, why don’t they just get better jobs? Are they lazy??
Yuktio
Sounds like they need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
customcartoons
More austerity measures, that oughta do it. ^_^
Jarjarthejedi
Looks like it's actually around 98% this year, might have been 99% last year. https://dqydj.com/household-income-percentile-calculator/
Jarjarthejedi
Worth noting, only 10% make more than 200K https://www.statista.com/statistics/203183/percentage-distribution-of-household-income-in-the-us/
xtav
Note that those stats are household income. Many households have multiple earners, so the percent would be lower than for individuals.
Jarjarthejedi
Why was I downvoted for this? Genuinely curious...
IhopeyougetstageIIIcoloncancer
Probably because it's splitting hairs for no constructive reason.
Jarjarthejedi
...I was sourcing the claim the help prove it, but alright then :/
wiehawk10
I love when they listen to what people say someone said, instead of listening to what was actually said.
ambiencenever
If the right knew what the left actually wants, instead of fantasizing about us, they'd join us.
TheLazyLibrarian
Which is another good reason to fund local & college newspapers; diversify the access to and sources of news to shatter echo-chambers.
ChiLLeCheeze
What they think: The left wants to tax us and take our money. What I want: I want the millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share.
FoxyEllie
They're too spoon-fed by the bought media to actually learn what's good for them
JonathanMidwatch
But when they (rank&file gop) become millionaires, they don’t want to have to give their money away. My family thinks like this.

thegelatoking
In the town hall he addressed the cuts part. said he will repeal only PARTS of the tax cuts that affect higher income, not the whole thing
sirbartonslady
Would he alone have the power to repeat tax cuts passed by Congress & Senate?
WouldYouIfIAsked
No, he would not
sirbartonslady
That's what I thought. Hence why I don't take seriously any promises like that.
ThatShiftyMonkey
"Joe Biden will not raise taxes on anyone making less than $400,000. Period." Biden's website.
ThatShiftyMonkey
He plans to roll back the tax cuts on anyone making >400k, not the whole tax cut. Also, under Obama the corporate tax rate was 35%
ThatShiftyMonkey
, Trump dropped it to 21%,and Biden plans on only raising it to 28%, not the full 35%. The 400k income would affect less than 2% of people.
ThatShiftyMonkey
Also, those 2% of our population? If they paid an extra few % in taxes, it would have no affect on their lifestyle.
