This is pretty amazing so far, many people (including myself) who live in liberal bubbles fail to understand how this maniac is still retaining support from a large swath of American people. Scary.

Not really. Biden wants to repeal Trump's tax cuts (which did help the middle class in addition to all the rich folk) and then raise taxes across the gamut. The silver lining is anyone above 400k is gonna get the **** knocked out of them, but even if you make zilch your gonna get ****ed too.

Most of the people who are voting for Trump again are likely doing so because they think Biden is going to **** their bottom line, and they probably aren't wrong. Throw in issues like abortion and it really isn't that hard to understand why they'd vote in Trump again even if he's toxic.

So Americans just don't want to pay taxes! Gotcha!

Btw, according to the guardian map, aside from Arizona, Minnesota and Maine, Trump is leading in all the other states. I guess that doesn't bode very well!!

Dude. America is the worst most evil despicable disgusting repulsive country on earth. You really have to just live anywhere else and come back to see how fat ignorant callous cruel uneducated abusive nasty and greedy we are. I cannot overstate what a profound misfortune it is to be born here.

Really I’m not at all exaggerating. The schools are gross as ****. The hospitals suck. The cities are ridiculously dangerous. There are homeless everywhere. The police are criminals. Third world countries have it much better. Life here is awful. The culture is dead and heartless.

Dude I haven’t come close to having to pay taxes in three years and I wouldn’t under Biden either.

Raising corporate taxes would hurt them in the long run, as would reinstating the individual mandate (both part of Biden's plan).

That being said, it would be good if he started aggressively going after that top 1% of households. It's not as good as the guillotine, but it does hurt the rich in a way that would help at the community level.
