    The financial transaction tax could wipe out our entire livelihood. You know Democrats want to raise taxes on us, right?

    Can you show me where Pelosi or Biden have proposed FTT? Is there any bill or campaign promise you can point to? I know you got to do the 'both sides bad' to keep your dumb right wing friends, but try to deal with facts for once. Other than one Bernie supporting socialist who hates Obama and Biden, there are hardly people pushing for such BS. The stuff you linked about Biden is not about FTT, nice try.

    You do know that comment is from last year when he was running in the primary against Sanders and Warren who did have a FTT - and if you notice in the video, the interviewer says 'you rejected that'. You can't seriously be fretting about a comment he made last year when there is nothing about FTT in his current proposals or anything he or Obama did in the eight years when they were in charge. FTT is not happening no matter who is in charge, Democrats are half owned by Wall Street unlike Republicans who are completely owned.

    I would urge you to go read the 2020 Democratic platform it includes a FTT.

    Lol, FTT is the last thing we need to be worried about under a Biden administration.

    News Flash, everyone’s taxes will go up.

    Conveniently main street tax cuts expire when Biden term comes up. And how else are you going to fix the fiduciary disaster from this admin except clawing back corporate tax cuts?

    Par for the course. GOP wrecks the economy by looting the treasury surpluses left by the outgoing dems., then cry foul on the campaign trail when the dems replenish the coffers.

    There’s plenty of area to reform Corporate tax. Problem is they spill over into small businesses. Big Business just shifts back overseas, while mom&pop are left holding the bag.

    Might as well go ahead and let the cat out of the bag and start hiking capital gains, it’s also in the cards. But we don’t want to talk about that one til’ after the election.

  10. NONE of these exGOP type posters here at ET are active traders. Probably don't even own stock or anything else for that matter. :mad:
