My vote will be for clean air and water, protection of public lands for the people and from corporate greed; health care protections for people with preexisting conditions; a tax code that is less succeptible to manipulation by millionaires and corporations at the expense of the guy making 50k a year working his tail off; a return to the dark side of their rocks for the bigots and racists who have been emboldened by the fascist in chief. Be nice if he was a few years younger, but Joe Biden is an honorable and decent guy and will make a good president. Trump 20-2-life in Sing Sing.

I vote for surviving the next 4 years. Did not vote for Trump last time but I probably will today. Not voting for Dems in major races, just some down ballot.
I will not support for Progressive / Socialists nor racists and the Klan.
"With malice toward none, with charity for all" go vote and afterward, love your neighbors, friends, and family.

Right with ya Boss Man . I wrote in Ronald Reagan last time,not that anyone would get my point, the Dems. Wasted 4 years of this present term and did absolutely nothing to help our country ,but instead chose to make the path as difficult as possible rather than lead by example,had they done a good job in the preceding 8 years, old yellow head would not have made it into office, I could never in good conscience vote for any of them..hopefully, both sides get their act together and work as one to fix our broken nation
No matter who wins.

trump doubled the standard deduction, and expanded child tax credits. so that guy making 50k a year, especially if he has kids, got a nice tax cut. i’m sorry, but that’s what happened. ask a cpa.

Taxes for everyone but the super rich are set to phase out over the next six or seven years. It was an accounting trick to get the giant tax cuts for business and the wealthy through.

can you post a link to that?
The way tax cuts pass now, because votes tend to be partisan, theres some legislative gimmick that usually requires an expiration date, but they usually get renewed as no one wants their name of a big tax hike. So I wouldn't be shocked if the entire plan had an expiration date, but it's very shady (and unlikely) to allow high income earners to be exempt from an expiration date.

Tax cuts for business was the most important part of the tax cut. Getting a competitive market place in which business doesn't go elsewhere because of tax rates is what was, as planned, attracting business to come here or stay here. More people working was the main purpose. But lowering business taxes is usually demonized by the left as tax cuts for the rich.

I honesty don't know, I've never heard that before, and that would be a terrible thing to do if true.
