Cindy Axne Demands Rich Pay Their Fair Share Days After Report on Colleague’s Tax Avoidance
2nd February 2022
Democratic Iowa congresswoman Cindy Axne demanded that the rich pay their “fair share” in taxes just two days after reports broke that her New York colleague Hakeem Jeffries (D.) dodged thousands of dollars in property taxes by taking advantage of a subsidy for which he voted.
My, what a surprise. Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
“We have a tax system that’s letting too many people off the hook that should be paying, the wealthiest among us,” Axne said during a campaign event. “It’s not fair that folks in this room, that average everyday Iowans, are paying their fair share for those wealthy folks to use everything that we have, and take advantage of it, and not pay their taxes.”
“The rich need to pay their fair share,” Axne said.
What, exactly, is ‘their fair share’? They ever say. You can’t even get them to talk about it.
How about we demand that Democrats pay their fair share? After all, they’re the ones spending money as if there were no tomorrow.
