[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for everyone who hates Trump, which is most of the posters on DCUM.

Other than opposing Trump, what is your agenda for the country?[/quote]

Taxing the wealthy and corporations to better fund programs that help working class/middle class Americans.

Overturning Citizens United.

Streamlined immigration system that offers more protection and dignity than sneaking across the border.

Stronger supports for young families (national paid parental leave, childcare subsidies and/or increasing the dependent FSA amount, more federal investment in public schools, increasing child tax credits, etc.)

Not having a sexual predator in the White House.

Fixing student loans so that people don’t pay more interest than the principal.

Expanded first time homebuyer tax credits/low interest loans.

Gun reform (e.g. taxes and limitations on ammo, strict liability for parents who don’t lock up their guns, waiting periods and background checks across all states).

Expanded access to mental health treatment including inpatient centers and drug rehabilitation.

Strong relationships with national allies and distancing from ties to Russia. Stop trying to buy Greenland.

And also I do agree with some conservative values. I’d love to see stricter enforcement of criminal laws, especially very harsh consequences for gun crimes and DUI. I’m also 100% for anything that will help limit fentanyl coming across our borders.[/quote]

Let’s talk about your #1 priority, taxing the wealthy.  If a family earns $1 million in ordinary income in a year, what do you think is the fair share they should pay in taxes?[/quote]

See, that’s the problem with much of the right. They think $1 million a year is “wealthy”.  They seem completely unaware of the amount of enormous , unimaginable wealth that exists in this country, so they don’t even register it as something we could tax.  [/quote]

And yet, every time the Democrats propose legislation they go all the way down to $500k and less.  It's almost as if they try to lose elections.[/quote]

Amen. My HHI is over $1M and they make no distinction between me and Elon Musk. [/quote]

To 99% of americans, there is no distinction between you an Elon Musk. Do you know how much a million/yr of income would be to the average blue collar worker?[/quote]

And you wonder why you lost?[/quote]
