Cory Booker Says People Won’t Mind Paying Higher Taxes Because ‘Patriotism’ (Daily Caller)
Democratic New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker told CNN’s Jake Tapper that higher taxes wouldn’t be a problem because of “patriotism.”
During a pre-recorded interview that aired on Sunday’s “State of the Union,” Booker claimed that the threat of higher taxes wouldn’t be enough to prevent people from voting against President Donald Trump in his 2020 re-election bid.
“We live in a nation with far more patriotism than people are expressing. What I mean is folks want the best for the country,” Booker explained.
