    In politics it's often a choice between 'lesser of two evils'. I'm not a huge fan of either man, but at least my taxes are significantly lower under trump vs obama/biden. Trump restored our military and improved trade/middle east deals.

    If biden/pelosi/kamala win, your taxes will go back up. Wayyy the f up.

    I get it re grandfatherly joe seems like a nicer person, but he's going to cost us a lot of money with his and kamala harris' left-wing socialist tax and spend policies. Think about it.

    google "trump vs biden taxes"

    wrong. If you're not in the high 6 figures, the extra 500$ a year isn't going to put a dent if your buying power's been decimated by wanton printing & increased inflation. Good luck if your pre-existing condition's not covered once the provision's rescinded.

    But keep continuing to believe that 1000$ you made in 2017 is the same $1000 in a post pandemic 2020. Especially as Trump keeps fucking up the COVID response and more stimulus is needed to keep his precious market up.

    Guess who ends up paying for corporate tax hikes? Hint, it isn't the corporations.

    Ah, yes, and those tax cuts certainly have trickled down & China continues to pay for those tariffs.

    How were things before Covid?

    Pretty damn good- employment was at capacity, wages were up. Dems can't let that kind of suffering go on, they demand change!

    So were things before Trump. Your point being?

    I too would like to have the power to undo historical pandemics that decimate economies in part for not being ready by bullying the fed to keep the interest rates low and passing tax cuts that deplete the treasury during a record high economy

    People are complaining all over twitter and Fox News about savanah Guthrie live fact checking Trump and following up on his nonsense. That’s journalism. It’s supposed to happen, the bigger of a liar and the dumber you are the harder the moderator should follow up and push back.

    Also, Trump’s dumb ass decision to have a town hall opposite Biden’s is his fault. It gave people a compare and contrast that did not benefit him.

    Biden once again benefited from low expectations that the Trump team stupidly set for him. Biden obviously is smarter and more knowledgeable than Trump on virtually every issue.

    Biden had a smooth town hall because he has good command of the facts and engages people. He makes connections on a level Trump never will.
