Ate the JPP Democrats OK with higher taxes on the middle class?
Warren Buffet seems to approve.

It appears she said "we AREN'T going to raise taxes on the middle class".
She merely did a poor job pronouncing the word "aren't".

Meanwhile, a transcript of Clinton's speech stated that she said "we aren't going to raise taxes on the middle class."

I believe she poorly enunciated the word "aren't".

Here's a link to a site that performed some linguistic analysis on the phrase in question:
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...-trump-wrongly-says-hillary-clinton-wants-ra/
"Alan Yu, a linguistics professor at the University of Chicago who specializes in phonology, ran the audio through a computer program called Praat, which analyzes phonetics.
By analyzing the sound waves, we can see that Clinton was saying "aren’t," because she definitely pronounced the "n," though she didn’t really hit the "t.""

As another linguistic analyst pointed out:
"Also if she was going to say ‘we are going to’, wouldn’t she contract it to ‘we’re’, as she does a few words earlier?" Flemming pointed out.
Those who don't like Hillary are going to hear what they want to hear, and no amount of analysis from phonology experts is going to change their minds.

lol....why would "we're going to" be more likely than "we are going to"?......

I heard "aren't".
Phonetically and contextually.

I would say it was a Freudian slip....but I doubt Hillary's subconscious is familiar with "truth"......
most of JPP are white trash takers. they'd be dead without the governments tit to suck on

Yet all manner of bullshit is pouted about Trump by your media, the latest being that he is exhorting gun nuts to go kill her. You Merkins are truly certifiably insane. If Trump hates the Clintons so much, why were they guests of honour at his wedding, can you explain that genius?

I post a thoughtful clinical analysis from an expert and get another angry, derisive response from a Trumpkin.
