Well, howdy there internet people,

0:03

it's Bell again. So

0:05

today, we're going to

0:07

talk about Trump taxing millionaires more.

0:10

Over the last week or two, there

0:12

have been grumblings about taxing the

0:14

rich from within some in the GOP.

0:17

Specifically, those who want to

0:19

honor promises about cutting

0:21

the deficit. Those who really,

0:23

really want to cut services to

0:25

low -income people also want to

0:27

slightly increase the tax rates for

0:29

the richest Americans. I

0:31

haven't talked about it and the fact

0:33

that I haven't talked about it

0:35

led to this message. Quote,

0:38

you've said over and over again

0:40

that Trump's tax cuts would benefit

0:42

the wealthy. Care to eat

0:44

your word that starts with an

0:46

F, words publicly? In

0:49

case you missed it, Trump is going to

0:51

tax the rich. Republicans in the

0:53

House are on board. I

0:55

know you didn't miss it. You just

0:57

don't want to talk about it.

0:59

Typical liberal, just ignoring things that don't

1:01

fit your narrative. You

1:03

make videos all the time from

1:05

Republicans who write in with

1:07

the dumbest possible message. Make

1:10

one with this one, but I

1:12

know you won't. So

1:15

at this point, you probably realize

1:17

I'm either about to eat my

1:19

words or this is going to

1:22

be a really funny video. This

1:24

message is two days old. I'm

1:26

going to start by providing some

1:28

quotes. Let's start with

1:30

Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson,

1:33

talking about the idea of raising taxes

1:35

on the rich. Quote,

1:38

I would not expect that. We

1:41

have been working against that idea. I'm

1:43

not in favor of raising the

1:45

tax rates because our party is the

1:47

group that stands against that traditionally. Now,

1:51

let's go to Trump himself. Quote,

1:55

I think it would be very

1:57

disruptive because a lot of the

1:59

millionaires would leave the country. The

2:01

old days, they left states. They

2:03

go from one state to the other. Now,

2:06

with transportation so quick and

2:08

so easy, they leave countries. You'll

2:11

lose a lot of money if you do that. And

2:13

other countries that have done it have lost

2:16

a lot of people. They lose

2:18

their wealthy people. That

2:20

would be bad because the

2:22

wealthy people pay the tax. Both

2:25

of those quotes are from the last 48

2:27

hours or so. Here's

2:30

a pro tip. Politicians lie.

2:33

It's one of the base rules we go by

2:35

here. The Republican Party has

2:37

a pattern to theirs. They

2:39

make a big claim, like, we're going

2:41

to tax the rich, or

2:43

tariffs will make us all rich. They

2:46

let their base, that's you, run

2:49

around and make a bunch of

2:51

claims on social media, showing that you

2:53

believe them. or write messages to

2:55

people based on their big claims. Then,

2:57

they quietly walk back the claims

2:59

so you still defend something they

3:01

have already said they aren't going

3:04

to do. When confronted

3:06

with their new statements, most

3:08

are too embarrassed to admit they

3:10

tricked you, again, and

3:12

refuse to acknowledge the reality. There

3:15

are actually a handful of Republicans

3:17

who would let millionaires pay more,

3:20

but it's not enough. and it

3:22

certainly isn't supported by Trump. It's

3:25

the fiscal hawks. If they

3:27

ever get the support to move on it,

3:29

I'll be the first person to talk about

3:31

it. The GOP is not

3:34

the party of the working class.

3:36

Sorry. Anyway,

3:39

it's just a thought. Y 'all have a

3:41

good day. When you have high standards

3:43

and fancy all the fancy things, like

3:45

a Dior saddlebag or that diamond tennis

3:48

bracelet, you go to eBay. There you'll

3:50

find new loves that will never disappoint.

3:52

expertly authenticated, whether it's that vintage pearl

3:54

necklace or brand new ruby earrings, a

3:56

Prada Cross body bag, or classic watches

3:58

like that Rolex oyster or that Cartier

4:00

tank. On eBay, there are no

4:02

limits to your high standards. Yeah,

4:05

eBay, the place for new, pre

4:07

-loved, vintage, and rare fashion. eBay,

4:09

things people love.
