Trump tax cuts are still in place (for now) and drill baby drill is already the best there is. If he gets in, what else can he even do to improve American life? The main stuff he says already is happening. If you're complaining about inflation while tax cuts are already still there then obviously him being in office won't change much of anything. Maybe it'll be a placebo effect where he'll say he's lowered your taxes and you just believe it while it remaining more or less the same but you'll be cheering instead.

Anybody but the democrats at this point. They cannot be trusted.

Joe Biden and the Democrats are trying to take away private car ownership by forcing electric cars on everyone when only the rich can afford them. It is our god given right to drive whatever car we want and the world will always need fossil fuels.

Oh he also wants to take away our homes by putting taxes on unrealized gains... that is FUCKING INSANE.

Yay, my house doubled in value...now I CAN'T pay the taxes and have to sell it!

Him and his handlers are pieces of shit.

Are you sure you read carefully? Cite your source for this news, or I'll assume it's just red-bait rumor in the wild west of social media (which it most assuredly is).
Oh here it is, from Fox News:
"Biden's proposal would impose a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains owned by Americans whose wealth exceeds $100 million."
>$100,000,000!

So if you are going to be impacted by this tax, I say it's about time you and all the other multimillionaires start pulling your weight in this country. Way to go Joe!

Fox is not the only source reporting that info.

[–] Thaisticks (2588) 12 days ago

You didn't respond at all to the facts I posted.

[–] tvfan (8510) 12 days ago

Holy shit, a 44.6% capital gains tax and a tax on unrealized gains.

The final nail in the coffin for Joe handing over the presidency to Trump.

[–] Thaisticks (2588) 12 days ago

Did you even read my post? You cons so anxious to spread your lies are like little babies grasping for their binky!
Here's what's really proposed, from Forbes:
"Taken as a whole, then, the 44.6% rate would only come to fruition under a separate proposal from the Biden administration’s main capital gains rate increase, and only apply to those individuals with taxable income above $1 million and investment income above $400,000. That isn’t quite as cataclysmic a policy shift as referring to a blanket 44.6% long-term capital gains rate would suggest."
That last sentence sounds just like he's talking to rumor-mongers like you doesn't it? Must be that it's being reported as you state it on all the fake news sites like fox and newsmax.

1.) The capital gains tax is up to 44.6% (from current 19%).

2.) The unrealized capital gains is 25%.

3.) Every home owner will pay an unrealized capital gain tax on their home annually.

4.) This will prevent the lower and middle class from ever climbing out of economic disparity.

5.) The last president that tried this nonsense (Carter) made almost all the states go red. (This is Biden handing over his presidency to Trump). lol

You didn't read my post, or your comprehension skills are very weak. Your "every home owner" is the big lie (why do rethugs lie so much? Because reality confounds them every day all day!) Here's the beef, ding-dong:

"the 44.6% rate would...only apply to those individuals with taxable income above $1 million and investment income above $400,000."

I would say those earning more than $1,000,000 a year + investment income over $400,000 have already blown past the middle class, and could more rightly be called the neauvoux riche. The tax doesn't touch those earning less than that. So shut up and go away!

[–] tvfan (8510) 12 days ago

Wrong, which part from your Forbes source did you not read where it said?:

"That rate comes with many caveats and asterisks."

[–] Thaisticks (2588) 12 days ago

Lol.

Isn't this how most states tax real estate? California passed Proposition 13 in the 1970's for precisely this scenario.

Emergency oil is at a dangerous low.
Bring back remain in Mexico and build a defense barrier.
Get rid of Democrat no cash bail, it's directly related to the crime wave.
Make russia and Ukraine come to a truce or. Negotiations, stop Democrats from using Ukraine to launder money.
Fund the military and army
Bring back the Iran sanctions so they dont become so prosperous they can fund the Hamas attack.
Stop college loan forgiveness
Too much to list

Democrat no cash bail and the open borders has caused a ton of death and destruction.

To be fair, the Trump tax cuts are set to expire at the end of next year.

[–] blue1981 (6510) 12 days ago

Trump needs to clean out the DOJ and reestablish an equal justice system. The number of political prisoners locked up under the Biden Regime is staggering.
