12 New Taxes Biden Proposed In His State Of The Union Address


Amidst the eyebrow-raising claims and unintelligible shouting, President Joe Biden also proposed twelve new taxes during his State of the Union Address on Tuesday night. In addition to boosting a lagging economy by further oppressing taxpayers, Biden hopes to improve public morale by taking more of their money and sending it to Ukraine.

Here is a brief rundown of new taxes proposed by President Biden:

1. Tax on the Rich: People who make more than $30K per year must pay their fair share.

5. Chick-Fil-A Sauce Tax: A tax on each packet of sauce requested at Chick-Fil-A.

10. Emoji Tax: With so many people communicating by emoji, it needs to be regulated and, you guessed it, taxed.

To me, "had at least a somewhat positive reaction to the speech" is NOT a positive reaction.
There's even more here - this was almost the smallest audience for a SOTU in decades.
Estimates have ranged from 23-27 million viewers. So at most, you might have 19 million people who say that had a somewhat positive reaction to it.

This, from a man who presumably was elected with 81 million votes.

This, from an event that was broadcast on every major network, including the news networks. Ironically, the largest audience was from FOX News at 4.69 million. Also not surprising - this is about a million FEWER than they usually get.

Claiming that so many had a somewhat positive reaction is like making the same claim about a women's water polo championship.
WORSE when the major networks each claimed an audience of 3 to 4 million each - on a night they would otherwise draw more. Biden's speech actually LOWERED TV viewership across the board.
