    This is only going to be considered by the swing voters come the election.

    Die hard Trumpers will double down. Die hard Republicans would never vote for a Democrat, so better a felon than a Liberal. Die hard Democrats would never have voted for him anyway.

    People who flip between the two parties now have another thing to consider when casting their votes, and only their internal compass will direct them to Trump or Biden














  • This is just false. Those are the income tax rates for highest earners. Billionaires’ wealth is mostly tied up in stocks, property, and other investments. Someone like Jeff Bezos does not have $196bln in his bank account, like you and I have a few $100.

    If we want to really tax billionaires, we need a wealth tax on any homes you own after your first, luxury cars, private planes and yachts, a passive tax on holding stock and stock options, and also clamp down on tax loop holes.
