Young use’s arrogance to hide her incompetence.
Don't they all!
Shelanda Young reveals without saying it that no amount of money will ever be enough.
Young is Obviously a Devout Communist, and Won't be Happy with anything Less than total Wealth Redistribution, and Not Lifting a Finger to Earn it!
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme!
The same could be said for the wealthy! Lol how much is enough? You can't take it with you. Your soul has been sold, and all the stuff you can ever buy is bought.....how much is enough before people, other people matter?
Young can easily say these things because she is BLACK & PRIVELIDGED.
Actually, with leftists like her, the 'rich' are defined as anyone who makes more money than she does. And those people need to have their taxes increased.
The answer is actually complex, not a number.
You could tax the top 1% 100% of their income and hardly make a dent covering the national budget.
The root of the problem is loopholes and exemptions.
For example, for one year Elon Musk paid $22 Billion in taxes. He doesn't pay that much every year due to exemptions. Fair enough.
But that is more from one man than the lower 10% combined.
Yet he only has available the same rights and privileges as any other American. Is that fair?
"A great answer to a question that I didn't Ask" love it!
She borrowed that line from Trey Gowdy.
@daisy8luke
😢
This is the fight we are up against. It's pretty hard to communicate if one side won't answer questions or have a goal to reach . It's like talking to a drunk person or something, a ton of words but no point or answer
Oh, they have a goal, but they know they can't say it aloud or else they will lose.
That's what we're fighting against--ideas so bad they can't be spoken until the people are so convinced the emperor has clothes that they won't say what they can clearly see.
lol its cause she cant say "I want all of it"
Young is an intelligent Woman ... for a vegetable.
hahahahaha....
Inteelligence doesn't score any points with me if you are can't answer a simple question.
That's offensive. Vegetables have WAY more intelligence than her and her people.
@@c.s.440 Good catch, my bad. Apologies to vegetables everywhere.
They don’t answer because the moment they do their stupidity will be visible to all 🤦🏽♂️
That is a great answer!! ❤
Or they answer a question by making a guess (which is what the gentlelady was asking for) then that guess is used as a weapon for ever more. Ms Young was trying to make clear - there isn't a number to give because they don't know the rate of GDP yet. So not stupidity - these people are genuinely at the top of their profession - it's protection from right-wing spin.
The reason being that wealth inequality is so appallingly skewed that wealth is concentrated in a very small sub-strata, and the system, allows them to game the system in their favour to evade tax. What is actually being asked for is that the wealthy pay a %age similar to those who earn regular money, and then a bit more. the fact they earn massive amounts compared to the average is a reflection of the inadequacy of the system to balance financial equality. This is why theyir relative contribution by %age looks so high. Their relative contribution in terms of their earnings isn't given what one needs to live comfortably.
@@carlyleroad No she doesn't want to answer because she wants the rich to pay 100% of the taxes. It's protection from her own, and the left's own horrible ideology.
@@carlyleroad "- these people are genuinely at the top of their profession -"
I agree with that statement. But, their real profession is not the one you think they're at the top of, and the people they really answer to aren't elected officials of either party .
“We can’t move the goalposts if we give specific answers.”
I've listened to a bunch of these committee hearings and I haven't heard a straight answer from anybody. Pathetic, professional liars. Thanks Shalanda.
The House & Senate rules on these hearings need to change. When someone rambles on without answering the question asked, that member of Congress should get that time back.
Agreed, they should also be forced to answer when asked “yes” or “no”. If they refuse to also answer questions, then they should be held in contempt and jailed until they are willing to answer questions.
People should be fined for refusing to answer the questions they are asked and fined double for avoiding them.
@Joe O'Neill Just file a request for the charge of contempt of Congress with the DoJ. Bury Garland under a mountain of charge requests. Force the issue.
She should be kicked out and jailed for 30 days for not answering, then brought straight back to see if she complies
Underrated comment.
Can’t get answers? Use contempt rules and hold without bond (in Jail) until answers are provided by these government paid servants.
It’s not a court it’s a committee hearing
@@geraldhammond3260 they still need to answer the questions truthfully,,,, not dance, surely you don't think she was answering the question? What percent was the question?
There is a two-word answer to the question those on the Right keep claiming they're not getting an answer to. Those two words are WEALTH GAP.
@@geraldhammond3260 So ? Shouldn't make a difference
It's important that we have accountability.. I wish we could hear from members of public in the house.. I have something to say.
She can't answer because the answer is they want ALL your money
Good job here Lisa, thanks from back home!
THIS is exactly what I've been talking about for years. Only women can call out other womens bulls..t.
she needs to ask her what her definition of "fair share" is and if she cant answer that, she does not know what she is doing
No pay until the answer given and or fines and prison. Congress has no teeth
..."Fair share" for her means 8 pieces of KFC from the bucket, leaving 2 for the four kids to fight over...
The only truly fair tax system would be a flat tax across the board with no deductions. This country could survive on a 5% flat tax
She may have been trying to do exactly that. The question was: "What is the number _[i.e. percentage of all income tax revenue]_ that the wealthy and corporations would have to pay, for you and this administration to feel like they'd paid their fair share. Is it (and I'm asking for a numeric number) is it 78, 92, 104 ...?"
Maybe the answer would be: "We aren't interested in that number. We are interested in what percentage of the wealth received by each individual or corporation ends up contributing to government. If somebody receives $100 million in a tax year and contributes 8% of that to government, while somebody who receives $100,000 in the same tax year contributes 16% of that much smaller amount, maybe there's an issue we need to fix."
@@susananderson860 The Democrats would not agree to that, because that would abolish the majority of the IRS, and make them unemployed ( A good thing) ...
I used to work with a person like this who graduated with a degree in English poetry and was running our company. We could never move forward and there was no accountability on that persons part. It was when an investigation came to that person where company funds were being misappropriated to fund a poetry slam outside the scope of our manufacturing company. Once exposed the resignation came like bolt of lightning. They got caught in their stupidity.
It’s NEVER enough.
You can NEVER get a narcissist to be honest about themselves.
its true, never ever will they say, YES you are correct and give a direct answer. Our Government All Star Woman of fat color should have said, YEs , good question, 100% of everything and all they might get or have. We really want everyone poor as fuc_
@@Worm537 Shamalama Ding Ding LOVES her Ding Dongs!!
I don't think she's a narcissist, I just think she is hell-bent on pushing her "rich people bad" agenda and providing a percent of income they should pay is risky for her because she'd rather continue to bash wealthy high-achievers than come up with any type of solution.
So, she is not able to answer a question. Kinda of like the rest of these people who are supposed to know answers.
She is avoiding cause she knows her policies are crap, how they approach it is bunk
How much do you think the top 10% should be paying.
@@atticuswalker8970 When Democrats profess their love for the good old days when the top marginal rates were 90%, I'd just point out that the guy earning the $1/hour was also paying 10% in taxes.
@@teekay_1 paying 10% of $1. Leaves 90c to pay the bill's.
Paying 90% of 1 mill leaves a hundred grand to pay the yacht staff.
The other 10mill their accountants hide isn't taxed.
@@atticuswalker8970
People making under $50K a year pay no income taxes. So your example is just silly.
People who make under $50M a year can't afford a yacht, and hiring one person to help on a yacht would cost you (after paying all the taxes and insurance) $100K/year.
You sound like a guy who earns minimum wage and is angry that the rest of the world doesn't see your genius. Maybe they will someday, and I say "May the odds be ever in your favor".
What you should be doing is either improving yourself, or at least thanking the 10% paying your way through life.
@@teekay_1 the taxes you pay on a yacht, arnt income tax.
The taxes someone earning under $50k pays, arnt either.
But they still pay tax
FLAT TAX NOW!
Failure to answer a direct question directly result in immediate and severe punishment, 30 days without pay, a second violation, swift termination.
They keep avoiding answering the question until they run out of time. They should be held in contempt.
Ms. McClain made a key point. If the US government was a business it would fail
UNDOUBTEDLY! 👍
Yes, and you can see that with the local city governments ruining cities such as Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, St. Louis, Detroit, Kansas City, Memphis. Common denominator? Democrats.
How professional it dresses 😂
Exactly how much is your fair share of what someone else has worked for? -Tom Sowell
It is clear we should have contempt for these people.
Crystal.
Do you mean contempt for person who would not let her answer the question and interrupted every time she tried??
@@gingerchris7555 No, it's contempt for a person who is ubiquitously evading the question as all these Leftists do. They are directed to answer without answering. So let's not play that game here.
@@gingerchris7555 , the question she never tried to answer?
If you think that, you have a problem with people who don’t agree with you.
She doesn't care about taxes. She's wanting income equality. She keeps saying, "How much are those people worth?"
EXACTLY... Their paying 74%....... While all the tax paying hard working middle class dollars go towards not all but most of the lazy people on welfare and unemployment...
It's a sin to accumulate wealth with these people yet it's claimed to be the american dream.
she is a liberal. she will not stop, ever. those kind of people actually believe every working person should have to turn over ALL of their income to the government so the government can decide who gets the money....which invariably is the groups of people who will keep the liberals in power (as long as we have a government where the officials are elected instead of ruling by threat of force and violence...)
Income equity she wants--a disaster.
Another 'diversity' hire, what could go wrong.
Amazing! Direct question!
WOW UNBELIEVABLE.
Basically, what she said in a nut shell, is.......
It doesn't matter, the annual federal government tax revenue budget. If rich people are paying almost 100% of the budget, and still getting rich, we need to steal more money from them, just because.... That's what I heard.
Sounds like what a socialist party here wants. All they can say is tax the rich, tax the companies that make profit. They want income taxes to go up to 90% for high earners. All to achieve income equality.
Yep, that's why McClain, when providing examples, asked if the top 10% paying 104% was a goal. Basically, big-government swamp-creatures want the people more and more dependent on government, and they want to keep growing that government bigger and bigger (because the bigger it is, the harder it is to get rid of)
Rich people are not the ones paying most of the taxes, it's just people with high incomes on paper. Like a guy in nyc making 250k for example pays 40% in taxes but if he has the tax knowhow, he can pretty much avoid taxes through loopholes in setting up a company. She's talking about the ultra rich abusing loopholes to avoid taxes. Changing the % doesn't matter if you aren't taxing the right people.
@@phobos1826 politicians wrote the tax loop holes to Protect their rich friends families and the people that Donate to them .. how about making it so politicians can stop protecting their friends that line their pockets..
@@phobos1826 your comprehension is coming up way short here; the top 1% are PAYING 40% of the total income tax, even WITH all their "loopholes". McClain wants to know what the communists want the top to be paying, because apparently the top 10% accounting for ~74% of the total income tax is not good enough.
The "right people" are being taxed because about half of American households end up owing nothing (or for 2022, about 40%)
She should be a car salesman discussing your finances and figuring out your trade in.
Great analogy, hahaha 😅
Biden is God and the American people love their Biden God he is the best leader in American history look at all the wonderful things he's done for America
Maybe she was in her youth.

I hope one day Shalanda Young's future is decided by somebody with candor and credibility equal to her own.
50% of people pay NO TAXES!!! EVERYBODY SHOULD PAY
And you wonder why it's time to drain the swamp!
It's apparent that "the fair share" isn't related to the revenue derived from income taxes, it's how much should earners be penalized for their productivity.
That's exactly what taxes are, a penalty
the lazy single mother tax plan , the ones who ingest the welfare money
Facts
It's Communism. Steal from those who produce, give to those who slack off! With the Gov't managers taking a handsome extortion fee for their effort.
Let's not forget that Biden uses a shell company (a pass through company) to recieve his fees from speaking engagements, books, and so on. He does this so he can take the majority of that money as a qualified dividends at 12 or 15 percent instead of as income at 37ish percent. He also avoids some employment related taxes on it at both the federal level and state or local levels.
Maybe he should pay his fair share first.
lessons on WHY you should hire on merit and not intersectionality
They never give a number to define what they mean by "fair share", because they know that if they do, their endless cries of "more more more" will eventually be invalidated.
Not giving a number is keeping her employed....this way the goal will never be reached and she can keep arguing for "their fair share" ad nauseum.
I at least give her credit for not wasting time with "Thank you for that question " That phrase is a big pet peeve for me.
😂
These hearings are a ridiculous and boring circus! TAKE ACTION!! CHANGE THIS!!
Brilliant question!
"We should be celebrating those people" is right on the money.
With a name like Shalanda you know she's going to have great answers.
DEVERSITY HIRE !!
I agree with you Cyril C.
Haha, says the cretin called cyril.
This I do not understand? If her name was something else, what would happen?
OMG, is that a pencil in her hand? Or a Pipe!
"they pay 70% of our income, we should be celebrating these people"
DID ANYONE ELSE HEAR THIS?
you should be. I pay a lot of Federal taxes to take care of a lot of freeloaders and people that made bad decisions. but keep it up and They/We will leave. You can make up the difference then.
think of it like this if that percentage of rich people decide its too much and just up and leave to a different country with less taxes whos going to be left with that 70% bill
Yes ,, The top 10% of wealth in this country pays 74% of all taxes. That means 90% of the people pay 26% of the taxes. Other than Social Security every single program in this country needs to be looked at reassessed cut back and these people need to be made to get out in the workforce. There are plenty of jobs in this country more than any other country in the world we just have a bunch of lazy people that want to live off of a system. Create babies and I get more money. This is what is driving people out of this country I am myself I’m leaving this country. Yes I will still have to pay taxes but that is why my citizenship is on the chopping block right now I’m debating whether to keep it or give it up. We are in a capitalist Country yeah we have more freeloaders in this country than any country in the world it’s pathetic they are coddled in babied ,,, start cutting these programs that is the simple answer to all of this restructure the tax system so that is fair to everyone that pays into it I don’t care if you’re a millionaire or a billionaire whatever percentage you pay is the percentage everyone else to pay. If you are a millionaire and you are paying 10% and someone else makes $400,000 and they’re paying 10% guess what that’s called equal folks I don’t care how much money you make you are paying the same percentage of taxes. Therefore our government cannot go on drunken sailor‘s spending spree‘s and create stupid ideas to spend our money like a 3.2 mile walking track or Trail in the name of Michael Obama. This is the kind of garbage that the American people that actually pay taxes are paying for. We have corruption in our government and it needs to stop. And if that means being brought up on treason charges and eliminated off the face of this earth then So be it !!!!!
Why is there an assumption that this time nobody will be willing to take their place? Or that their market share wouldnt get spread amongst other functioning businesses? Also, the foundational issue here is that this small percentage makes up that quantity to begin with. Vaporizing antitrust laws, bailouts, and "too big to fail" rhetoric is only worsening the issue as we have seen for the past many years. The collusion allowing them to act with impunity escalates year.
Example: the largest restaurants in this country fight wage laws with a voracity that borders on insanity, citing the job losses the community would have if they lost their local chain restaurants.
If billion dollar entities exist on margins so razor thin that a wage hike(one of the only businesses who is NOT required to even pay minimum wage to EVERY employee) would destroy the company, please tell me why we shouldnt let that burn? And while i have you, if you were so fiscally ignorant, you had millions in an uninsured account, how is that not your risk?
Their effective tax rate is 8%. Because of loopholes
These people dance around the issues/questions long enough for time to run out, and never answering the questions.
This is what the Democrats do talk for hours and never say a word

That's the First sign of Incompetence right off the Bat!
So what I get from this interaction, it isn't about budget, it's about people who have more than she does so we need to take it from them.
Great question!!
There needs to be a rule for government employees of any grade that every time you don't answer the question asked, you get 2 weeks off without pay.
There is a Holman rule that freezes their wages if involved with wrong doings of federal employees, elected or appointed
That's be a Joke they need 2 years in Federal Prison in the Hole for Every time they Don't answer the Question Asked then Bring them Back and if they Still want to play Games give them 4 years for every Time they Don't answer the question asked. Time to Get Real on these M.F. and Show them We're Not Playing Games anymore.
A better rule would be to apply your punishment to anyone in Congress who tries to deflect and keep their corruption & misinformation hidden when asking ridiculous questions. She the "gentle lady" tried to speak over her explanation of why there was not a direct answer for her. She tried to speak over the fact that the wealthy pay less than most middle class in taxes. Letting her speak would reveal the truth of the matter. Which is the wealthy pay almost nothing and get away the absolute most. It's just so blatantly in our face right now and it must change.
They should be held in contempt of court until they answer the questions. Maybe a few days in lockup will help them prepare for their job before coming to these senate hearings. If they don’t show up. Send a warrant out for them. Pick them up, and make them answer. They either answer, or spend a few days in jail. Simple. No more “I will have to get back to you. I don’t have those numbers right now.” No, instant contempt of court. I bet they will have answers from then on out.
If you can't define the percent they should pay how do you set the amount? This means they push division not policy.
DON’T YOU JUST LOVE IT WHEN YOURE Told you are asking the wrong question or that someone doesn’t agree with the way you’re asking a question just to avoid telling the truth!?
"I'm trying to show you how we approach it." Again, not what she's asking.
She WON'T say because they want it all. She's just can't say it - 100%!.
That still wouldn't be "Their fair share."
Income taxes should be outlawed altogether. Nobody should pay a dime in income taxes.
Everything is taxed.... Keep your wealth around to be invested? Taxed. Buy items in order to actually go about your life? Taxed. Work? Income is taxed. Literally every step of modern life is taxed, and we are supposed to be happy about it....
It actually isn't legal.

I agree, most of the democrats don't seem to answer any questions, but she did answer the question. If you didn't hear the answer then you weren't listening in the first place.
Why is it so hard to hold people accountable for their actions? Why can't we just fire incompetent people?
That would help get rid of the corrupt republican's for sure!
@@marisela7825 Nice try, you won't goat me into a reaction cuz you know it's Dems, you little Democrat fan boy you 🤡
The answer is all of it, they want all of it.
It’s difficult to answer when your still trying to hide the truth.
The OMB nominee might as well just be labeled a DEI hire as that’s what this is.
Because if she gave a number then they can’t more. Always leave the number open so you can get more out of them.
No matter what, it'll never be enough. We will always need money for very important studies such as "how much cocaine does a porcupine need to run 7 mph as to just 5 mph" . We really need these very important studies to keep the world from overheating
A billionaire does not have annual income of $1,000,000,000. A billionaire has assets of $1,000,000,000. It’s an income tax, not an asset tax.
And in a down market a billionaire could easy go down in net worth and end up not owing taxes in a given year due to capital losses
I give Shalanda credit at least for not saying the most irritating and usless thing: "Thank you for the question".
With her answer evasion skills I'm quite sure 'she'll land a' well paying job in the private sector, where she can pay her fair share.
IRS people scare me
Refusing ,avoiding or misleading a question
Needs to change.
If persons can’t reply directly
With truthful answers need some time in jail.
So because someone has worked hard and become rich due to their hard work they should pay to support more people who don't want to work hard? That's not how this works
Dems see no value in hard work, this is how it culminates.
She talks about making large corporations pay their "fair share". No matter how much you tax a large corporation it will NEVER pay its "fair share" because all it does is hand off its tax liabilities to its customers, its employees and its share holders. The answer is not MORE taxes. The answer is LESS spending. It's as plain and simple as that!
Exactly. The shift of corporate taxes to the consumer is so obvious even a simpleton on the Left could understand it, but their head-in-the-sand approach to practical matters doesn't allow for facts.
100%
Facts are facts
This all boils down to ENVY !!!! They don't want to RAISE all boats , but to lower the tide . Misery loves company.
Who decides who will be invited to speak before Congress and are these people chosen based on their knowledge of whatever subject Congress has scheduled to discuss that day? I ask because I watch these videos and no one EVER seems to answer what sounds like a reasonable, common sense question. Yet we keep doing the same thing, expecting different results. I love the Matt Gaetz approach which is to simply ask ALL the people before him on a given day, he simply asks the group as a whole if anyone has any firsthand knowledge of the subject to raise their hands.
its not like these people are being hand picked because they know they cant answer the questions they are brought in to answer because they are at the moment they are the heads of their fields and so are the only people to get said answers from
I'm sure if you checked this person's credentials being questioned it would be like every other person's in his cabinet?

Excellent questions. The responses were not answers since they did not address what was asked.

Young is dripping and oozing with Vicim Hood!
"But, but, but, they make More Money than I Ever Could, because they actually Apply Themselves"
🤪!
Yep
Corruption will never explain itself. Deception is then exposed.
I make 6 figures so I'm not rich I do pay a lot in taxes but I think it's messed up that they're trying to make people that were smart enough to make tons of money That already pay a ton of taxes pay more. And then you got people that don't care about making money paying hardly anything. It's like they get rewarded for not striving to be successful.
I don’t understand why these people haven’t been fired from theses government positions for failure.
Boycott all taxes immediately, fire everyone of these idiots who dodge questions
When OMB Director says “to me the question is…” She should have been stopped right there. YOU AREN’T THE ONE ASKING THE QUESTIONs.
Let's save this beautiful country, Do not vote demoRAT.
My personal income tax in 2015 was 15%. Since then it has risen to 24% as of 2021. My 2 ageing vehicles are taxed at higher and higher each year, my real estate taxes rise on a regular basis along with my homeowners and auto insurance. I figure groceries are up about 15.5% to 19.5% and rising. Health insurance is totally out of control while quality of medical care has dropped. All of this on a single income plus soc security. And the rich are paying 8%? Corporate right offs are worse, and let us not forget foreign aid, REALLY! So you want me to support your government? Yes your government not mine. A wise old country neighbor we had as I was growing up gave me some advice about if a man had a good dog, a good gun and a good pickup he has just about all he needed, should have listened.
And guess how much in ACTUAL DOLLARS that 8% represents.
DEI in brilliant exposure.
The top 10% don't use the Taxes.... that money goes to the lower income people!!!!
The Trey Gowdy line! brilliant!
Were you really expecting one of Biden's people to answer a question? They are still working on, "What is a Woman?"
Why won't someone just say what we all know is the goal - they want the rich to pay EVERYTHING and the lower class to pay nothing so we can continue to let the rest of us to pay them to remain poor with no responsibility to contribute to society.
In a nation where 10% of the people pay 75% of the taxes, I hate to break it to you, but you *are* the lower class. You are the one paying nothing (at least relatively) so you can continue to let the rich pay you to remain poor with no responsibility to contribute to society. Still feel like that's an accurate description of the situation?
@@Ryan-zv6xw True enough... the disappointing part is that 75% of the taxes are paying for programs most of us don't need or want. If we eliminated Gov't waste, or asked EVERYONE to pay their "fair share," there would be no need to steal money from anyone through taxation. No matter how you dice it - there's nothing fair about the imbalance in tax burdens spread across our populous.
@@MrTycobb25 Oh, it's even worse than that. So much of government expenditure supports the upper middle class and lower upper class. So if you look at the Ukraine tens of billions -- I support Ukraine self-rule, but our "help" is us paying our own companies to make arms to send there, the money is for our armament companies first, their freedom second. More people work for governments now than work in manufacturing, agriculture, and I believe construction combined. At least one in every hundred working Americans works for a school system. So we are printing, taking, and borrowing money to pay people to get richer than many of them should and then taxing them to give social benefits to people we keep poor by handing out food stamps and free medical care so they'll be willing to work for wages below their worth. It's a huge shell game and the most important thing is the government gets to be the one that hands out the money, so they keep power over all of us.
Can diversity ever mean a simple answer to a simple question?
