“Trump Administration Betrays Low-Skilled American Workers.”
The latest
ad from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) asks Trump to
reject the mass illegal and legal immigration policies supported by Wall
Street, corporate executives, and most specifically, the GOP mega-donor Koch
brothers.
Efforts by
the big business lobby, Chamber of Commerce, Koch brothers, and George W. Bush
Center include increasing employment-based legal immigration that would likely
crush the historic wage gains that Trump has
delivered for America’s blue collar and working class citizens.
Mark Zuckerberg’s Silicon Valley investors

A handful of Republican and Democrat lawmakers are
continuing to tout a plan that gives amnesty to nearly a million illegal aliens
in exchange for some amount of funding for President Trump’s proposed border
wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Buttigieg Pushes Wealth
Tax: ‘People in This Country Are Not Paying Their Fair Share’
Buttigieg Pushes Wealth
Tax: ‘People in This Country Are Not Paying Their Fair Share’
PAM

1 Apr 201977
2:27
Monday on MSNBC’s “The
Last Word,” 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Mayor Pete Buttigieg
supported the idea of a wealth tax, arguing that “some people” were not paying their”fair
share.”
When asked if he would
repeal the Trump tax cuts, Buttigieg said, “Yes, at least the tax cuts on the
wealthiest because that has blown a huge hole in the treasury that my
generation is going to be forced to pay. We’re going to have to pay for it
probably in the form of reduced services if we don’t come up with revenue.
There’s no need for some of these giveaways to the wealthiest people in the
country. But we also need to rethink the way that our revenue is structured
right now. That’s why I think at least three ideas that have been floating out
there among many people in the 2020 conversation deserve to be part of a
portfolio of revenue for the future. That would include a wealth tax, some
reasonable percentage on those who are sitting on the largest amounts of wealth
in this country. It would mean a financial transactions tax to deal with the
fact that people are, in some cases, making preposterous sums of money off of
millisecond transactions that don’t seem to contribute very much to the real
economy. If they do, fine, but that needs to be shared with the country so that
we can have a more robust infrastructure and education and national security
and all of the things that make the accumulation of that kind of wealth
possible. And we also need to reconsider the taxes for the income brackets that
are making the most.”
He continued, “You know,
over the last probably 40 years, Democratic and Republican politicians have
accepted what you might call the Reagan consensus, this idea that the only
thing you would ever consider doing to taxes is to cut them. And the only
argument’s over whose taxes to cut. Obviously, we want to keep taxes low and
reasonable, especially for working people struggling to get by and members of
the middle class, but we also know that some people in this country are not
paying their fair share. And whether it’s individual taxes like some of what
I’ve been talking about or making sure we use some kind of instrument, like
perhaps sales apportionment, to get a better share of U.S. corporate taxes now
being hidden offshore or not appropriately taxed when it comes to global
business, we could be doing a lot better to fill the treasury before it has to
hit the working and middle class.”
How
Pete Buttigieg Could Hurt Trump in the Rust Belt
Source: Greg
Swiercz/South Bend Tribune via AP
Pete Buttigieg is many things.
At just 37, he is the mayor of South Bend,
Indiana. He is a military veteran and a deeply religious gay man who is married
but also enjoys sandwiches from (anti-same-sex marriage) Chick-fil-A. He is a
Harvard-educated Rhodes scholar who speaks eight languages. He is the first
ever millennial candidate for president and, so far, the only Democratic
hopeful to appear on the "Fox News Sunday" show.
"I'm all of those things," said Buttigieg -- pronounced
"Boot-edge-edge" -- in an interview with the New York Post. "I
try not to have any kind of attribute ... be totally defining," he added.
Critics say these attributes are the very reasons why he can't beat Donald
Trump. His supporters say they are the very reasons he can.
Mayor Pete, as he likes to be called, strikes a tone that is kinder and
less combative than the insult-driven politics of Trump and the Democratic
Party's far-left members. His boyish good looks, intelligence and military
background are undoubtedly appealing, as is his faith.
"Scripture tells us to look after the
least among us, that it also counsels humility and teaches us about what's
bigger than ourselves," said Buttigieg, a devout Episcopalian. "It
points the way toward an inclusive and unselfish politics that I strive to
practice, whether I'm talking about my faith on the stump or not."
Mayor Pete's politics are already gaining traction. Since launching his
exploratory committee to run for president on Jan. 23, he has already raised $7
million for his campaign. A recent Quinnipiac poll found that 4 percent of
Democrats would vote for him -- the same number that supports Elizabeth Warren,
who has been a U.S. senator for six years.
The fact that he was born and bred in the
American Rust Belt is possibly his biggest asset.
"Our party can and should do better in the industrial Midwest,"
Buttigieg said. "I'm convinced that so many people in this part of the
country are already with us, much more than with the other party on issues, on
substance, on policy."
He said his experience in his hometown of South Bend proves there are
solutions that work besides a "promise to turn back the clock."
When Buttigieg was first elected to office in South Bend in 2011, the city
was on its knees. Job growth was nonexistent, and like many Rust Belt cities
with declining industry, it had been hemorrhaging jobs since the '70s.
First, he improved the cosmetics of the town by demolishing more than
1,000 abandoned homes, and then he focused on revitalizing it by attracting
hundreds of millions in private investment for commercial development.
You won't find Buttigieg ridiculing fellow Midwestern voters or taking
them for granted, the way Hillary Clinton's campaign did in 2015. After the
University of Notre Dame, based in South Bend, invited her to attend their
prestigious St. Patrick's Day event, her campaign declined, telling organizers
that "white Catholics were not the audience she needed to spend time
reaching out to," as The New York Times wrote.
Trump would go on to win those white Catholic votes in 2016 -- 52 percent
of them, according to Pew's exit polls, reversing the gains Democrats made when
Barack Obama earned their votes in 2008 and 2012.
Even so, Buttigieg's religious beliefs
haven't prevented him from taking progressive positions on major issues.
He supports abortions into the third trimester out of a belief in
"freedom from government," he said. And he won't rule out tax hikes.
"If the only way I can get all of us paid parental leave, universal health
care, dramatically improved child care, better education, good infrastructure
and, therefore, longer life expectancy and a healthier economy is to raise
revenue, then we should be honest about that," he said.
And although natural gas leads to good, solid jobs in the Rust Belt, he is
a big booster of wind and solar power. "I think the goal still has to be
focused on renewables," he said.
But just because Buttigieg has a progressive platform doesn't mean he'll
get an easy ride from far-left Democrats. Last month, the woke crowd at Slate
questioned the young mayor's credentials with a since-changed headline that
read "Is Pete Buttigieg just another white male candidate, or does his
gayness count as diversity?"
And just because Buttigieg is from the Rust Belt doesn't mean he can win a
general election in places like Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania,
especially when you compare his platform to Trump's.
"He has to share their values on bread-and-butter issues like lower
taxes, regulations and religious liberty," warned Dr. G. Terry Madonna,
director of the Center for Politics and Public Affairs at Franklin &
Marshall College. If he doesn't, "it would be very difficult for him to
win."
But Jeff Rea, a former Republican mayor from another Indiana town and
current president of the South Bend chamber of commerce, said nobody should
count out Mayor Pete. He and Buttigieg have been on opposite sides on a number
of projects but have "always found a way to come together for a
solution."
Buttigieg "is a very data-driven guy and also a very good man,"
Rea added. "That has helped him win over voters who might not like
progressive politics."
No mayor in history has ever run and won his or her party's nomination for
president, nor has anyone under the age of 43. Then again, no businessman had
ever done it until Trump came along.
Michael Wear, the faith adviser to Obama, told me he thinks Mayor Pete has
a chance.
"Things change," Wear said. "And, in America, anything can
happen."
