He threatened to end Trump's tax cuts, which would mean my taxes would go up and I make under 400K/year. After that the media plays semantics that this is different from raising taxes. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fact-check-did-joe-biden-say-he-would-repeal-the-trump-tax-cuts/ar-BB19O7rp
You raise taxes
You spend the money preemptively
The rich use the available options to avoid the taxes
The debt rises
Middle class pay extra to cover it
Middle class can't cover it
Austerity measures begin whilst taxes stay high
Poverty is a state or condition in which a person or community lacks the financial resources and essentials for a minimum standard of living. Poverty means that the income level from employment is so low that basic human needs can't be met. Poverty-stricken people and families might go without proper housing, clean water, healthy food, and medical attention. Each nation may have its own threshold that determines how many of its people are living in poverty.

Exactly, the best thing to do is help the rich stay richer, trickle down WILL work one day, just takes time, I wish people would understand that. Stupid poor people, it's their own fault, get better jobs ffs
Literally your ideology. Everyone's leaving blue states and anyone staying gets poorer because the 'tax the rich' mentality doesn't work and the bill gets piled onto the middle class.
Some of the biggest wealth disparities are in blue states right now.
People have been voting blue in California for 30+ years and they're poorer, have less stable work and higher living costs than ever.
I couldn't even afford to live in a 'tax the rich' state and I'm middle class..

If you can't afford to live in -any- state and you're middle class, that's not a tax problem. That's a budgeting problem.
"The current official poverty measure was developed in the mid 1960s by Mollie Orshansky, a staff economist at the Social Security Administration. Poverty thresholds were derived from the cost of a minimum food diet multiplied by three to account for other family expenses."

You need to make sure your source uses that same definition that you do.
I've seen a lot of lies from the right. Misinformations, etc. I mean, yours is the party of "Alternate facts."
Case in point:
The Right says BLM is a racist, terrorist organization.
Anyone of the left wing is a radical extremist.
We endorse the murder of babies.
I could go on.
