Which big picture? I like higher taxes but not too high....62% tax is stealing.


Tax is the only thing Trump has over Biden. Trump is a crazy, anti-science, neo-nazi, spray-painted douchebag.
You do not want your taxes going to fund a liberal wish list like this,

President Obama exaggerated when
defending his administration’s
approval of a $535 million loan
guarantee to Solyndra, a now-defunct
solar company.
Obama referred to Solyndra’s loan at
an Oct. 6 press conference as “a loan
guarantee program that predates me.”
That’s not accurate. It’s true that the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 created a
loan guarantee program for clean-
energy companies developing
“innovative technologies.” But
Solyndra’s loan guarantee came under
another program created by the
president’s 2009 stimulus for
companies developing “commercially
available technologies.”

So what is your point? You just proved he paid taxes. And your president isn't paying neither

Y'all make me laugh, how do you think us economy has been booming considerably higher under dems, taxes

US deficit and debt is in the gutter, how do you pay it back, taxes

there is currently a vaccine that is coming out and the government would most likely roll out for free, how do you pay for its taxes. And I am damn sure the taxes are not up to THAT 62%.
Raise it to 62% then to pay cops guarding a mural of BLM.

Taxes being raised can be used for worthwhile causes. not for paying some feel good liberals
their wish list.
Not paying some whacked out guy in jail his gender reconstruction surgery

Your cult hero and fake Billionaire paid $750 for taxes in 2016 and 2017. Do you know how little that's. When I was working part time job at my junior year in high School, paying much more than that just for a 16 or 17 year old at Goldblatts. You guys have no idea how taxes work in America. Don is a Con Man and he will be indicted by the State of New York and District of Manhattan when his regime of hate and division ends in Jan.
750 in 2019.What did he pay in 2017 and 2016.Was there an overpayment then, which he could claim?

Sharrap.

While I can't speak for prideoflincoln1, I have always maintained that the only reason a black man could vote for Trump is if he is very rich and wants tax cuts.

People who earn upwards of 400,000 dollars a year are rich. The UK has a 50% tax on such guys.
62% is outrageous.

Biden should come and clarify........

However, the average american does not even earn up to 100,000 Dollars a year.....soooo

Another unpaid Coon, the junk you posted is for your fellow coons who have no say in the happenings in America. There is a reason over 51% of all Americans think Trump is a racist and 90% of African Americans believes according to the latest Quinnipiac Poll. You that never travel outside of Nigeria knows better than us that have known of Trump all our lives. Go and drink your Orange Kool Aid mixed with cyanide.
51% looks an awfully small margin
The rest are racists I can infer. How many of that 51% disagree with Bill Clinton that Obama would have been serving their coffees?

Because that the reason the Republicans gave for not screening or hearing Obama's nomination. In the future a Senate that has the majority won't feel constitutionally bound to screen the presidential nomination from a president in the opposition party on very flimsy excuses.
Days of Obama the Senate leader Harry Reid Dem so drunk in the magical powers of Obama broke the senate rule requiring a consensus of 60 votes for judicial nomination. He was warned it would work against democrats.
He plodded along like a headless chicken.

You are still making the mistake. You don't lump all midterm votes together and say democrats had 60million. That is just nonsense. Even the presidential election they don't lump all votes together which is why they have the electoral collage.

If trump is know in 45 states with 10 people in each of the 45states and Biden is know in 5 states with 1000 people each in that 5 states. Who is more popular across the United States? It's trump. That's how the electoral collage works. You have to be more popular in each state or district to win that particular state/district.
I made a point here earlier that in 3 counties Clinton margin in Chicago. NY and California was just 15k short of her popular vote margin over Trump
Trump won in 2626 counties visaviz Clinton 457

For the L3s (Left Leaning Lunatics), replacing a Judge in The SCOTUS is court packing.
Dont even waste your time with that brainless fart, these people have intentionally shut out the brains they were born with.
Judge Roberts in PA case. supported the left leaning liberals. I'm wondering why people have to wait until after election day to vote. when they have had all the time.
As a consequence the lower judge decision stays. Which is why a 9 jusge SC is needed Joe Biden has 600 lawfare lawyers to challenge every hook, nook and cranny of the Nov 3 elections. Meaning the eventual winner might be announced much later, Hillary adviced Joe not cede an inch.

Well, Biden messed up on this one. The democrats should have clarified that the 62% is a speculation on the outcome of certain legislations and not accounting for deductions and other factors.

Nevertheless, 50 cent is a greedy motherf4cker. wink
Kamala Harris clarified that the local income and state taxes could top 62% on those earning over 400k.

You meant his super spreader rallies. Gladly it's thousands you made up because all we have been seeing are a few hundreds.

In addition, I am glad those voting are all using masks and social distancing. That tells a lot.

Besides a job for Hunter, bank
executives and employees gave
generously to Joe Biden’s campaigns
– $214,000 total, federal records show
– and one top executive even bought
Biden’s Wilmington, Del., home for
more than $200,000 above the market
value, real estate records show. The
exec paid top dollar – $1.2 million –
for the old house even though it lacked

If Hunter Biden's dad, Joe Biden had taken 50% of 'alleged corrupt earnings', from Hunter Biden or any foreign associates then why did Joe Biden comfortably with ease not under any duress released 22 years of his tax returns, because all of his sources of income and expenditure will be listed on his tax returns.

Since 2015, Americans are still waiting for Donald Trump promised tax returns.

Self denial. Hunter Biden texted his daughter saying he won't take 50% of her earnings like pop
does.. He sent an email to Chinese business saying 20 for him and 10 for the big guy (pop).

His pop says he don't know Shiet about his son business in Ukraine, an email surfaces from No 3 Burisma thanking Hunter for introducing him to Joe Biden.

Here we are 4 years later, no single evidence it happened, but let's see. Let them keep throwing, let's see what's sticks.

That how Eric Trump posted on Twitter a picture of a mansion Biden lived in 26 years ago, he claimed how did Biden afford such on a government salary, and everyone who knew the tale of the house was angry, Biden bought the house in the 80’s during a kind of auction for $186,000, lived in it for almost 20 years, repairing it gradually, then he sold it for a 1.2 million dollars in 1996.

There was a report that Hunter Biden was sending money to Eastern Europeans suspected of Human trafficking/child prostitution.
Now we know that the FBI agent who signed off on the subpoena for his laptop deals exclusively with child prostitution investigations.

And Steve Bannon says there is more info to drop via various outlets.

Looks like the Biden crime family might get cooked, much as the media refuses to cover .
