Biden is now officially the best president since 1909: "No one making less than $400k will pay..."

98cwitr · May 3, 2021

Please hear now, the best news ever. Trump could have never ever done what Biden is fixing to do for the American people:

"Anybody making less than $400k a year will not pay a single penny in taxes"

@23:09, for the entire nation to hear:

Best President ever. Please, everyone give a big cheer for no taxation. How awesome is this news!!??

Okay. I’m on board now.

Because who needs context when you can take a cheap shot instead?

I watched it from a minute before he said it. What context are we missing?

It's the broader context that Biden often mispeaks. You can't take what he says seriously or at face value. Even though he said that Americans would not pay taxes, he meant that Americans would not pay more taxes. Don't you have a grandpa?

My grandpa died at 93. He didn’t make gaffes like Biden.

He's obviously talking about new taxes. Even ignoring the fact that he has been saying for months that if you make less then $400K you will not see an increase in taxes, the context of the speech makes it clear what he meant. Immediately before the part you quoted, he talked about raising taxes. He probably forgot to say the word "new" but considering this is a message he's been hammering for months, there is no real way to not get what he meant.

I dont know about you guys, but I would like to help the government and people out by paying the highest tax rates possible.......If that means I will have to make millions in income in the process....so be it....Never expected this way to be easy...and the desire to give comes at a cost.

It's absolutely clear what he means, but, as too often is the case with Biden, he says it incorrectly.

I'm relieved that Trump is out of office, and voted for Biden, but it's quite disappointing that this was the best the Democrats could do. He's an absolute gaffe-machine, and no, i don't but that all of his gaffes are stutter-driven. Better than Trump, but less than what i'd like in a President.

I thought, as responsible citizens, we were supposed to analyze each word from our presidents, and take them at face value.

Or did that change in January?

A lack of reading comprehension, or in this case aural comprehension, is a very useful trait to have when one wants to make cheap shots.

Where did you ever get that idea from? Yes go ahead, analyze the words used. But when one analyzes it must be done in context. You are familiar with why I point out that quote mining is not proper, aren't you? Quote mining is usually an attempt to argue dishonestly. I could quote mine the Bible, though I would probably get in trouble here if I did so. In other words I can quote parts of it out of context to make it appear to say what it does not say. If one listened to the speech in context his meaning was clear that he was talking about new taxes even if he did not include that word in that particular part of his speech.

I can find threads on here about things Trump said that folks spent days blowing out of proportion.

Trust me, I have been. It is expensive being rich....But I have no choice, being that my heavenly Father is rich..... Therefore I chose not to complain.

Go ahead. Your claim may not hold up.

Eye for an eye? What is good for the goose is good for the dander? do unto others exactly what is done unto us?.......etc.

I actually thought this thread was genuine.....lol. There I go assuming the best again...... Thanks for setting us religious folks straight......I need it and welcome it.

I see no merit in advocating for a neighbor to be taken from despite another's willingness. Charity should be voluntary, shouldn't it? Unless of course, Rome is the middle man between ourselves and God's grace.

A gaffe. Funny.
