“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg, a multimillionaire, told Americans on Thursday that they need to “suck it up” and “pay a little more taxes.”
Goldberg called on Americans to pay more taxes to help pay for schools and other essentials, despite claiming that Americans are also “struggling with everything on a day to day basis.” The co-host’s net worth is estimated to be $60 million as of April 2025.
“A 90-day pause doesn’t mean anything to anyone because people, as you said, are struggling with everyone that they’re living with on a day to day basis. Now you know what we’re fighting against,” Goldberg said. “But I also believe that it’s very important to remind people that now is the time for each and every one of us to suck it up and make sure that we know what we need to take care of. If you’re in an area where the school district is losing, then you got to pay a little more taxes and you gotta help the schools out. If you’re finding that your libraries are falling apart, you have to give more. This is where we come in. We cannot depend on [President Donald Trump’s administration]. This is us. Because we all thought they’re talking about somebody else, no, they’ve been talking about us the whole time and when I say us, I mean all of us.”
WATCH:
Goldberg referred to President Donald Trump’s administration’s 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs with the exception of China, where he increased the tariff to 125% over its retaliation on the U.S. A baseline 10% tariff and fees on foreign steel, aluminum and automobiles have remained in place.
Goldberg defended the state of the economy throughout former President Joe Biden’s term in office, despite inflation reaching a record peak of 9% in June 2022, and even suggested during a March 11 segment that Trump ruined the so-called wonderful economy that he inherited from Biden. U.S. inflation eased in March, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increasing 2.4%, the lowest growth since 2020.
The millionaire co-host falsely stated Wednesday that egg prices have not falling by “one cent” since Trump entered office. However, the price of eggs have fallen 45.03% since the start of 2025, dropping from an average of $6.41 on Jan. 21 to $3.19 as of Thursday, according to Trading Economics.
Trump is currently backing a Senate Republican-led bill that includes a permanent extension of the expiring 2017 Trump Tax Cuts that would lower millions of Americans’ taxes. Lawmakers have said the failure to extend these tax cuts would lead to a roughly $4 trillion tax increase on Americans by 2026.
