is hard to stop when you've done it for decades. But what difference, at this point, does it make, right demlibs? Oh, and enjoy your new taxes. Idiots.
Hillary Is Accused Of Defrauding Her Middle-Class Donors; Are Middle-Class Taxpayers Next?
A report from the New York Observer claims that Hillary Clinton's campaign has been overcharging small donors.
Fraud: An eye-opening story in the New York Observer claims that the Clinton campaign is systematically overcharging small-time donors. If true, it's a huge story. It's also a foretaste of what Hillary will do if elected president.
The Observer followed up on a local Minnesota news item from June about an 81-year-old who says she made a one-time donation of $25 to the Clinton campaign, then found her credit card getting repeatedly charged by Hillary for America. There were two $25 charges on March 16, a $19 charge on March 29, and two more $25 charges in the months after that, despite efforts of her lawyer-son to put a stop to them.
In its report, the Observer says multiple sources confirm that Clinton's campaign is "purposefully and repeatedly overcharging them after they make what's supposed to be a one-time small donation through her official campaign website."
The Observer says one major banks is getting up to 100 calls a day from small donors who want refunds on unauthorized charges made by the Clinton campaign. The story notes that the overcharges tend be less than $100, which is below the threshold for the bank to investigate.
Yes, the Observer is owned by Donald Trump's son-in-law, but that doesn't mean the story isn't valid. It certainly doesn't excuse ignoring the story, as the rest of the mainstream media are doing. Clinton coddling sophisticated rich donors with dinners and speeches while ripping off her most trusting small-time donors would is a bombshell.
But bad as this scam appears to be, Clinton hopes to pull off a much bigger con on the American taxpayer.
Throughout her campaign, Clinton has promised what adds up to $2.2 trillion in new spending. And she claims she can pay for it all simply by hiking taxes on businesses and the rich, while sparing the middle class.
"The middle class will not get a tax increase. That has been my pledge," she said at one point.
Turns out, Hillary's pledge is as reliable as the "one-time" donation button on her campaign website.
Even a charitable reading of her tax plan shows that middle-class families will see their taxes increase. Not by much, perhaps, but it's not nothing either. And this doesn't take into account the fact that her $470 billion in corporate tax hikes will get paid largely by middle class families in the form of higher prices or lower take-home pay.
Plus, since Hillary's proposed tax hikes cover only a little more than half her massive spending plans, she will eventually have to dip into middle class pockets to cover the gap.
Hillary has already made it clear that her pledge is written on tissue paper. She's come out in favor a steep "soda tax," a national gun tax, a carbon tax, and that she'd be open to an increase in the payroll tax. Guess who'll pay those?
The only difference between Hillary's defrauding her small-time donors and her defrauding the middle class on taxes is that those hit with unexpected taxes hikes won't be able to get a refund from their bank.
