Average federal taxes paid over past 4 years by a person with a 50k salary is 40k. Taxes paid by a self proclaimed "billionaire," $750. At same time debt grew by 36% it assuring the next gen of 50k class people will be hammered even more. Not that it is apparent that the thread was started to argue whether a person's priorities are what some numbskull thinks they should be.

I find that very difficult to believe. Can you back that up with some links or articles?

I figured (hoped) you were but to me the vote always counts, even when it counts less.

I think RI will be closer to T this time but will still go Biden. But this is a Protest vote against the national Dem party.

I wrote in McMullen (what a waste that turned out to be) but in hindsight, I should written in Reagan ; ) . This time I think we need to run the clock. What I Hail Mary: Trump wins, then on Jan 20+ 1 week he decides to retire. What I will settle for, we make it through the next 4 years with no party controlling all three elected levers and have a Centrist that can bring both sides in together.

Neither side is capable of this right now.
