Those expecting another one of Biden’s famous “foot in the mouth” flubs were not disappointed Tuesday night.
In a extremely awkward moment, Biden says he’ll eliminate the capital gains tax, then immediately switches course to saying “I would double it.”
Uh, ok.
“I would eliminate the capital gains tax,” he said, “that, I would, I would raise the capital gains tax to the highest rate of 39.5 percent, I would double it, because guess what? Why in God’s name should somebody who’s clipping coupons in the stock market make, in fact, pay a lower tax rate than someone who, in fact, is, like I said, a school teacher and a firefighter. It’s ridiculous, and they pay a lower tax.”
What did Joe Biden say here? Anyone? No? Okay, that’s what I’m thinking too #DemDebatepic.twitter.com/qs2xgvMN6f
