Elections Kamala Harris for POTUS

Except he passed a multi trillion dollar stimulus bill after Covid was over.

If that was the root cause for inflation, we would have inflation rates higher than the rest of the world but we don't.

How will you feel if trump wins?

You know how you know how I feel about Trump.
I will go back to quiet resignation and detachment.

That’s how I feel now and how I’ll feel forever

Just released next policy platform. Increase corporate tax from 21% to 28%. I am against it because lots of small businesses already being crush by inflationary production costs, which is already like a tax.

Big corporations will get by and small ones won’t, allowing big corporations to buy them out and consolidate wealth and capital

The issue here is assuming most Dems are progressives. Many dems fear the far left progressives. The squad is getting dismantled. The dems had an opportunity to get a real go getter pro in there to make up for Kamala's lack of political knowledge. Instead, they went with a man many consider wacky and too progressive. Easy to pick apart. Jailed people for not wearing masks but let rioters go free. Tampons in boys rooms etc. Kamala was horrible in the 2020 primaries for a reason. She has been described as an economic zero, with no clue on the real issues besides abortion. She never has shown aptitude, and the right are just using her own interviews against her. She checks diversity boxes, but her head is empty. A strong moderate could have eased people's minds on that with a strong ticket. I agree Progressives are excited, but moderates see the problem. Moderates destroyed her in the 2020 primaries. Actually, everyone did. She isn't strong, besides DEI. A strong VP pick could have put this in the bag.
That being said, Trumps pick was bad too. He could have grabbed some DEI points and went the other way.

Here is the issue with your complaint:

There are no moderates that are actually considering Trump as a viable option. Anybody who is voting for Trump is just a right wing authoritarian at this point.

If you are Truly a moderate, you can see that Trump is an idiotic old man that spouts lies, exaggerations, and nonsense.

A moderate is not going to support teaching the 10 commandments and Bible shit in schools.

A moderate is not going to support reproductive rights being stripped away from women that had been around for the last 60 years.

What moderates are supporting people who want to deteriorate the power of labor unions and hand more power to people like Elon Musk?

What moderates wants MORE police immunity and militarized gear on clowns that were eating their own boogers in high school?

What moderates want our president to have immunity to commit crimes while in office? Lmfao

I get it man my first level of heartbreak was when Chuck Liddell lost and I was foolish enough to have a favorite fighter at that time and then I fell for it with Fedor again and had him as my favorite fighter and then he started losing and it just broke my heart.

Is there no way to differentiate tax rates based on monetary income to prevent this? I'm honestly not that well versed on it, which is why I ask. You raise a good point and I don't want to see smaller businesses suffer.

From what I gather from the article, it would be an increase across the board. Trump had slashed it from 35% to 21%. Kamala originally wanted to bring it back to 35% or higher, but has now settled for 28%

I am with you guys though, that if there was a way to do it based on size, income, etc. but then their big donors and corporate Allie’s would be against it

It is like with the ESG and green new deal regulations and such. Big corporations can eat the extra costs. Small businesses cannot. This leads to them being bankrupted and bought out. Consolidate wealth and capital.

In both cases, Big corporations can absorb the extra costs and or have loops holes that smaller businesses don’t. Heck, in some cases, some of the bigger corporations get government funding, funded by the smaller corporations being taxed.

Even with only a 8% tax increase, given inflationary rise in price for energy, transportation, and other costs, even if they were paying 35% tax, they would be doing better off in trumps economy with reduced energy costs, regulation, etc

I've heard bad things about the corporate tax even from left-liberals so I'm guessing this is red meat for the populists rather than sound economic policy.

Personally I would rather have a lower corporate tax with higher taxes for higher incomes and capital gains but the optics of increasing the corporate tax rate are probably good.

You have my vote so long as the capital gains taxes are only for high income individuals

100% agree. People hear corporate tax and immediately think it means Amazon, apple, Exxon mobile, etc. but the difference between small and large corporation is literally like 100 employees being the threshold. Like, that is crazy lol

People hear the trump tax and think it was only for the wealthy, but the wealthy who can afford it benefit from taxes as the government even gives them contracts, where they won’t on the federal scale to smaller companies.

But it gave a lot of relief to mid size companies. And that can even been like an incorporated that owns a half dozen gas stations as well as a dozen franchises.

Think how much a 7-14% increase (or decrease) in tax, in addition to inflation affect wages, bonuses, expansion which then leads to promotions in these smaller, but still considered large business
