[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pandemic proved a worthy opponent for Trump because it was unaffected by his insults. Perhaps the same is true of the economy?[/quote]

Yes. It’s called the “invisible hand” of the market for a reason. And the invisible hand is slapping Trump bigly.

All because he couldn’t handle not being reelected in 2020. [/quote]
+1 I stated repeatedly, this was going to be a big FU presidency.  He doesn't actually care about the average Joe (pardon the pun).[/quote]

No, actually, you elitist democrats don't care about the average Joe.  As long as money pours into DC and you get your check, you couldn't care less.[/quote]

You need to step outside of your bubble and stop listening to Fox News's talking points.

Trump and his Republicans do not care about you nor the average Joe. They only care about themselves, reduced spending for programs that help the average Joe. They want to cut taxes to help the rich and enrich themselves.

The Democrats (as mush as I may not like being identified as that) are the ones who actually care or try to help the average worker. They want programs to help the poor. I am happy to pay my (or our) fair share because I realize that it's the right way to do it, and thereof am not in support of reduced spending or taxes. At the end of the day, my families HHI is almost 500k. Hell even a 5% change in tax (let's take this as a hypothetical) won't negatively affect us, the 25k decrease in income will barely be noticeable (our marginal utility from an extra $ at this income level is negligeable). Whereas, this 25k (or the programs it will help support) will really be.noticeable for the average Joe who only makes like a 50k HHI. Or conversely cutting the average Joe's taxes and increasing mine I am fine with that for a similar reason (x money less for me is not noticeable while x more money for the average Joe will be very noticeable)

But Republicans and the low income Maga voters don't realize that. They literally voted against their own best intetests. [/quote]

For a high income person like yourself, voting Blue is kind of like buying cheap indulgences.  As you say, you don't even mind throwing an extra $25K into the federal government meat grinder if it makes you feel more compassionate.  The problem is that your income taxes aren't really helping people much.  SS and Medicare are paid from separate taxes, schools and roads etc are handled by state and local governments.  Income inequality has not decreased during ANY Democratic administration in the past half century.  The federal department of education has spend TRILLIONS and test scores haven't improved a bit.  We spend countless billions on homelessness, and it never decreases.  So you can SAY that Democrats make people's lives better, and you may be right that we INTEND to make people's lives better, but we don't actually do it, so we can't really take credit for it.
