Hillary Clinton is training to ‘fair-share’ income tax surcharge for the rich.
Hillary Clinton said she want to impose what I call a fair-
share surcharge on multimillionaires
because right now, we’re behind, and
we need to get the wealthy and the
corporations to pay more of their fair
share. She said, she want to implement the Buffett Rule:
Make sure there’s a minimum tax
they have to pay,” Clinton said while
campaigning Monday in Iowa.
Clinton said she would later
announce plans to go even further
than the “Buffett Rule,” which would
establish a minimum tax rate of 30
percent on those earning more than
$1 million a year.
Hillary Clinton is
calling for a 4 percent “fair-share”
income-tax surcharge on people
making more than $5 million a year.
The surcharge on the .02 percent of
taxpayers who make more than $5
million a year is expected to raise $
150 billion over a decade.
Briggs said “At a time of grotesque income and
wealth inequality . . . Secretary
Clinton’s proposal is too little too
late,”
