And income.rax was "temporary"

I just don't see how they'd ever enforce that. But the cap gains one is scary as is the high tariffs.

Bad news for America either way. 2 very fiscally liberal choices

I'm not going to go back but know for a fact I've criticized the Biden administration for, among other things:

Too much spending

Stalemate on border reforms

Botched Afghan withdrawal

Misplaced focus on exaggerated social justice issues

Stalemate on border reforms? WTF does that even mean?

If making your iPhone cost 5 times as much will cause Apple to move it's sweatshops out of China, it's worth it. If you are swilling to pay 5 times as much for your iPhone, then you are a dumbass.

If Trump had wanted a border wall, he would have done it! He had four years.

If Trump had wanted to reduce illegal immigration, he wouldn't have killed the bi-partisan bill earlier this year. He would have allowed it to pass, reduce illegal immigration, and supported future legislation to restrict it further.

Harris hardly has a lock on disegenuousness on this issue.

So are you for the border wall now? 🤣

The part everyone leaves out is the unrealized tax is on households over $100 million. It's going to be near impossible to have valuation tracked for privately held stocks, options, warrants , etc. The one that concerns me is the jump from 20 to 44% on long term capital gains. That's something that could actually be done with the stroke of a pen and could turn us back into a 1970s high tax/low investment era where people look for tax shelters.

Of course Trump's proposal to levy a 40% tariff on imports from China is a tax on every single American.

Both candidates are such morons

The estate tax and alternative minimum taxes were supposed to be for top .00001% and they ended up hitting people with 6 figure estates and 5 figure incomes in the early 2000s.

The $100m will be lowered until it hits tens of millions of Americans...

And shiz rolls down hill. What the left never is able to grasp is that if the rich get taxed, they simply charge more for their goods and services. If they don't invest as much in the market because of these taxes then the value of EVERYONE'S investments go down. 401k's, roths, ect. Once again the middle class gets the shaft.

"I too completely disavow and dissociate myself from Bobby Kennedy Jr"

Why do liberals take politics so personally? Why can't they say "I disagree with his politics but I still consider him a friend"? With liberals if you like Trump you're also a bad person. You don't get more judgmental than that

He's distancing himself from the democratic party to vote for democrats.

He constantly makes up fabricated stories like Joe Biden himself. Claimed he hadn't voted for President in "many cycles", claimed he didn't like Joe Biden.... than I linked his posted that said he planned on voting for Joe Biden and he was all 100% in. False and misleading empathy stories were the real kicker.

Many are able to separate politics from the personal.

Some are. Some Rs, even on this board, are as bad.

I think it is good to keep perspective and not let the negative few pretend to represent the positive many.

What personal names are Harris supporters called around here by conservatives? I don't see it
