Fox News Hosts Mock Biden Call For Rich to Pay Their Taxes: ‘Dad Of The Guy’ With a ‘Massive Tax Problem’
Fox News hosts on Outnumbered mocked President Joe Biden for demanding that the rich pay their fair share of taxes by interjecting a dig at son Hunter Biden and his legal woes.
“Tammy, I chuckled a little bit because he was very fervent about wanting millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes, to which you had a pretty interesting retort,” Kayleigh McEnany said to Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce.
“Yeah, I immediately thought, this is the dad of a guy with a massive tax problem, right? So, there’s Hunter, federal investigations, and millions of dollars involved. They’re an extremely rich family, and the son didn’t pay his taxes,” Bruce said in a mocking tone.
“We don’t know how far the investigation will go to this president as well, but the American people also understandably recoil a bit when they have to work two jobs to have chicken on the table or to buy some eggs. And then this rich guy is pointing a finger, ‘Make people pay more taxes.’ Why, so we can send more money to Ukraine? We need some stability here and an understanding that things are happening here socioeconomically, whereas the nation is deteriorating.”
Biden called on the rich to pay their fair share during a White House speech on the economy Friday.
“For example, over a thousand billionaires in this country, and I know you’re gonna hear me say this until I am able to change it. Know what the average federal tax rate is? Eight percent. Eight percent,” Biden emphasized. “I think you should be able to be a billionaire or trillionaire or zillionaire if you want, but pay your taxes, for God’s sake. Pay something approaching a fair tax. That’s less than a teacher, a firefighter, or a cop pays in their taxes. It’s just wrong.”
