I agree with everything you said but I am worried enough about Harris that I will not vote for her.
She wants to tax unrealized capital gains. That means your house and my house will be taxed on appreciated value. That means the stock portfolio you have carefully nurtured for your financial well-being will get taxed on its gains. She's had four years to get illegal immigration under control. She has not. We are in the middle of an unchecked invasion and she is sitting on her hands. As the border czar, she has failed to protect America. The one job she was tasked with, and she has failed at it. Think about THAT. She was presented to us as a done deal. I don't like that. The Democratic party has known for a long time Biden has undergone cognitive decline, but they were going to push him through regardless. WTF. Who's been running the show? Who's been calling the shots? During Biden's tenure this nation has had fringe progressive policies shoved down this nation's throat whether the nation stands behind them or not. Kamala is going to be more of the same. You all should be worried about what is happening in this country. Very worried. The media is 100% behind the fringe progressive agenda. It is relentlessly pushing Kamala. Think about that. I know I'm talking to the hand. I wish you people would use your brains. |
Taxing unrealized capital gains is for portfolios over $100 million. Plus, it’s for investments. And it’s not going to pass Congress. I wish you’d use your brain. |
|
Yeah, you think the wealthy are going to allow their unrealized gains to get taxed? So why is she blathering about it?
How do you suppose we're ever going to get out of the trillion dollar debt this nation has amassed? |
|
I’m have a ton of unrealized capital gains and no, that tax law isn’t going to affect me.
|
The House could go either way, but unless the Democrats pull off a miracle in Montana they will lose the Senate. So anybody who brings up the possibility of eliminating the filibuster is unrealistically hopeful or fearful. |
Even if you are correct, what about two years from now? Democrats could take full control of the government in the midterm elections. Their agenda is too dangerous and left-wing to risk voting for Harris and saddling our country with their terrible policies. The first thing they want to do is pass their so-called “voting rights” bills that eliminates voter ID, mandates ballot harvesting, and allows the DOJ to take control of elections in Republican-led states under the guise of “discrimination”. |
+1. Move on, OP, or better, yet, wake up and smell the coffee. Your brand of "Republicanism" is nothing more than inside-the-beltway elitism. I've been in Washington, off and on in politics, for 30 years and have seen many cycles of this. The Romney/ Bush brand of Republicanism is dying the slow death it deserves. The Republicans are now truly the party of the working people, those who do not live in leafy DC suburbs and profit off the system no matter who is in office. Spend some time working for the Trump campaign in PA or southern VA and you'll see what I mean. |
OP, I agree with your sentiment but the problem is you cannot overcome the level of ignorance and lack of critical thinking skills that is displayed in the bolded above. The steadfast refusal of such a large swath of the voting public to think for themselves cannot be overcome. We just have to hope that less of them and more of us make it to the polls. |
Explain to me one Trump policy that benefits the working people? Besides exporting brown people. |
Be prepared for breadlines. With tariffs on food and no immigration, legal or illegal, goods will skyrocket. Also, deportations of millions of people is costly. It will cost us $114B to deport them and we’ll also be short the $96B that illegal immigrants pay in federal, state, and local taxes. With Trump’s tax breaks for the rich, average Americans will pay for it too. |
| Kamala says elect me again and I'll fix the economy this time. What a joke. |
It’s a joke because it doesn’t need to be fixed. It’s already been. But if you’re struggling, that’s on you, really. |
I truly hope this is a minority. I know we’re a racist, hateful, ignore-facts-ar-your-own-peril country, but surely this ideology can’t be gaining momentum. However, my GenZ economist son who studies history says all signs point to the US losing its superpower status in his lifetime. With Trump saying global warming is a hoax, and us losing our fledgling green energy industry to China, it may be the nail in the coffin. Sad. |
Keep in mind that very conservative Republican senator James Langford led a bipartisan immigration bill that had a real shot at passing until Trump put a stop to it because he didn’t want it to pass during an election year because Biden would get credit. The attacks on him from the far right were ugly as he himself has stated publicly. |
Taxing unrealized capital gains and tips (Trump first proposed that) will never happen for legislative and practical reasons. As they all do, candidates propose dumb things to appeal to dumb people. Also, the bipartisan immigration bill was killed by Trump because it would have given a gift to the democrats. But dumb people forget that. |
