The United States is in line for another debt downgrade
Vocal fry much?
Is ironic to Hear the word Entitlement coming from some one who knows the answer to our economic problem-tax the upper and middle class when he tells you no one wants to pay !!! is easier to blame the old veterans and poor children for your entitlement !!!
Tax the rich
That simple
The benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC) dropped around 0.2% The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) fell around 0.1%, but i heard people are profiting and racking over $350k from all of this through some insider trade… any idea how i can profit from this as well?
Income taxes on the high end need to increase to increase revenue.
Yes squeeze more out of the middle class but dont tax corporations and billionaires. Take my kidney and lung too while you are at it Rubenstein 😂
So his solution to the national debt is to raise more taxes on the middle class Americans because both parties don’t want to raise taxes on the billionaires and corporations, and don’t to cut spending or welfare on majority of voters. Oh just brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that. Just raise taxes on the middle class and make them poorer. Wow. All those books he wrote and interviews made him the Einstein of modern day economics. Give the man a Nobel award already
Tax the middle class because that's where the money at 😂😂😂😂😂😂
With her and Curly Joe this show is unwatchable
Sloppy preparation when you have to speculate on a Harris presidency – especially as she would never have been as stupid as trump
Not easy to understand when the interviewers constantly interrupt the interviewee and talk simultaneously
Good Lord! These hosts are just economic clowns, their questions are biased and just plain dumb. And they're supposed to be knowledgeable about business and the economy?!? No wonder, people don't trust the media.
People are facing a tough retirement. and it's even harder for workers to save due to low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire in.
How many yearly federal budgets has the USA produced since the budget control act of 1974 went into effect?
These cnbc goofballs can’t stop auditioning for Fox Business.
Also, yes there is ample money within the top 1% to tax, but I’m not shocked someone within that group pretended the middle class was the place for raising more money.
And I say this as a top 1% earner. We’re the ones that own assets that generate immense wealth.
Of course a billionaire saying he shouldn’t be taxed and we need to tax the middle class more. We should keep doing what we have been to fix the issue, unreal! All empires fall, just America’s turn!! Just imagine if someone would say we are going to tax people/corps making more than 2 million a year and cut the budget each year by 3%. Maybe we would get somewhere, and then we could actually try to refinance this debt.
I don’t know, no one knows. Great info, thanks.
That was a totally fair question. To be fair she didn’t say democrat or republican necessarily, but just wanted his take on where we would be if Kamala were elected and we were under her policies right now instead of Trumps..
You gotta love that comment about raising tax revenue – the money is in the middle class and Medicaid is for people who are 'not that wealthy'. 😆Once again, intelligence on hold.
David Rubenstein, partisan talking head, intelligence on hold. His comment that no one wants to raise taxes is blatant Republicanism. Obama tried to raise taxes. Biden tried to pass a wealth tax, a corporate minimum tax and increased IRS funding to go after tax cheats, all of which the Republicans nixed. And what is CNBC's push back – notta, because David Rubenstein is too well respected. But what more can be expected from Squawk Box.
Glad he clarified this not about one party or the other.
Nothing will happen. Life will go on. Inflation will continue higher.
Who is this ridiculous woman hosting this show? I have never watched it, but now I know for sure I won't be watching it when she makes bizarre comments like she made about spending under Harris. CNBC should release her from her contract.
He is wrong ,Japan 260% of GDP.
Zero pushback when he says "taxing the top margin does not increase revenue", absurd.
A billionaire saying that taxing the rich won't work, you have to tax the middle class. Absolutely ridiculous. Tax the very rich,, but of course this will never happen, because the very rich own the government.
what a disgrace this maga woman is!
What TF is he talking about only Italy's indebtedness is that high at 129% of GDP? Japan's debt to GDP ratio is over 250% ! Geezus, fact checking on CNBC has just gotten abhorrent in recent years. And the Becky Quick comment is just harebrained nonsense….Harris wouldn't have catalyzed a debt crisis with these asinine tariffs and she wouldn't be pushing to tack on another $4T of debt by extending Trump I's tax cuts.
Obama Clinton etc etc..democrats for DECADES , SAID THE U S A NEEDED TARRIFS, but none of them had the balls or gave a crap about Americans and America, didn't get the kob done
President Trump did exactly what he said he was going to do. If a Democrat actually did what they said DECADES AGO.. people would not be crying in their soup, but Because it was President Trump, all these fools cry and whine…
Didn’t take Becky for a fool…. Guess I was wrong.
Tax the bozo middle broke class. That is the only solution according to this POS.
Tax the rich – they have never been taxed
Fire that lady and this show for Blaming Harris who is not the President it's Trump and communist Republicans like her. Traitors to American
joe is not able to articulate a question. fascinating for a career tv host.
When America was great again the tax rate was 91%. AND the mega wealthy were not buying everything, housing, docs practice, vets practice, hospitals, and congress. The conservative misery is just beginning!
First time I’ve really seen Becky expose her hard core politics. She’s still my Becky. I forgive her.
For now, the White House needs to focus on the damaging effects of tariffs imposed on the American people, as well as the rising cost of eggs and other essential goods in the market.
This problem can be easily solved. The defense budget has to be doubled, and the problem is solved.
With a toilet paper dollar printing machine like US has, it can buy its own bonds 😎
Many are paying property tax today based on the assessed value of that property. Why not do the same to the wealth of individuals as well as their foundations (to the extent catering to their descendants )? Richest 400 in the US pwn $4.5 trillion wealth. So taking the 1% average property tax as a guide, if we tax 1% on individuals wealth, that would yield $45 billion per year.
When the revolution arrives, the rich will scramble to trade their gold for goodwill, but find that neither buys mercy.
