Texas Democrat James Talarico recently bragged about wanting to raie taxes during an event with Jessica Tarlov and Mark Cuban.

He claimed that he wants to raise taxes on ‘the rich’ but as we know, that’s just where Democrats begin. It never ends there.

Once they run out of billionaires and millionaires to tax, or when all of the wealthiest people flee, the working class is the next target because they are the only ones left.

Texas Democrat Senate Candidate James Talarico Campaigns on Raising Taxes

Texas Senate hopeful James Talarico is now openly campaigning on raising Americans’ taxes.

Facing polls indicating his support has topped out and doubts from fellow Democrats who do not believe he has what it takes to excite minority communities, Talarico is now openly campaigning on raising taxes on Americans.

“I’ve told every wealthy person I’ve come across in this race: If you are ok with getting taxed more, if you’re ok with me limiting your influence in politics, you are welcome to join this movement that we are building,” he said, thanking billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban for being part of it.

Talarico’s campaign platform includes plans to create what he described as a “fairer” tax system.

“Make giant corporations and the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share of taxes. (That way, we can cut taxes for working families and small businesses,),” he claims – a promise that leftists often make but never deliver on for hardworking Americans. His campaign website claims that he is interested in making “billionaires pay their fair share in taxes,” including “by imposing a higher tax on their income and capital gains and ending the dubious ‘buy, borrow, die’ loopholes that billionaires use to grow untaxed wealth.”

Talarico is doing what all of the Democrats are doing in this election cycle. Trying to appeal to the increasingly radical Democrat base, which wants to confiscate wealth to pay for their liberal utopia.
