    A lot of people calling 50 selfish but if that affected me like that I probably wouldn't be much of a fan of it, either.

    We are all selfish in some ways as humans...so if it affects us directly we will take our perspective over others...it’s just natural...if it doesn’t affect us then we are indifferent...

    I guarantee you 50 cent isn’t the only one who thinks that way...in his tax bracket...other hip hop stars and entertainers...and wealthy people...can preach for equality but only if it doesn’t affect their bottom line LOL

    No, I quit trolling so people would take me more seriously. Why do act like you never seen a Trump supporter before? Just cause im the only one here does not mean there aren't tons of us. Most supporters are "shy" which is why the polling is dead wrong.

    You have this all backward. The media created the satire/comic book character that comes with Trump and its his haters who fall for it. For example, you just pushed the oldest Trump myth.. "he said all Mexicans are r--ist".. When in reality he was clearly talking about the many illegal criminals that are a major problem for our country. You overlook the heroin epidemic because the "Orange man bad" narrative is more important than securing our borders. This leads to millions of people voting against him because the image they created. So whos playing who?

    However, Biden can say things like "i don't want my kids in a racial jungle" , "super predators" "negro" , "you aint black" also have crime bills that resulted in the mass incarceration of blacks, attended his best friend/ grandmaster for the KKK's funeral, and even got called a racist to his face by his running mate.. but people are voting for him because "trumps a racist" . to me that's where the satire should be. Or how about white people screaming Black Lives Matter while burning down black own businesses? I compare the idiot Stans to them and I would play the Media in your analogy.

    I pay around $1400 a week in taxes.

    Some years Donald Trump pays $750 for the year... some years he pays $0.

    He probably gets about a $1,000,000,000 more in federal services than I do.


    Do you know how absurd it sounds to me when really rich people cry about paying taxes, like its ruining their lives? Pretty f---ing absurd.


    But not as absurd as when people who are out of the ruling class have sympathy for their poor souls.

    Yea I agree, I don't think it'd completely ruin his life if he had to pay 62% taxes by any means.

    Just thinking that, unless he's feeling generous, the change wouldn't really have a positive affect on him (unless, you know, he wanted to improve the quality of life for the people around him as a whole...)

    Taxes are a weird thing because I don't necessarily trust the way the government spends it.

    Like, yes, I'd like to better the American public and if paying a little more each paycheck can do that I'm all for it...but then you see reports of governments throwing parties with $72 sandwiches or some dumb s--- like that.

    Obviously $72 sandwiches aren't the main issue, but I think it's a good representation of how they mindlessly overspend on EVERYTHING and that mistrust is now trickling down to "HoW cAn We AfFoRd UnIvErSaL hEaLtHcArE???" when we really should have been more concerned about their spending A LOT earlier than this.

    Defund and revamp the whole s---. Make it transparent and easy to understand. People would probably change their attitudes on a lot of s--- if they could see their leaders making better decisions.

    "As President, Biden will require corporations and the wealthiest Americans to finally pay their fair share. He won’t ask a single person making under $400,000 per year to pay a penny more in taxes, and will in fact enact more than one-dozen middle class tax cuts that will finally give working families the financial support they deserve"

    Joe Biden is as moderate and centrist as they come... so, this doesn't surprise me.

    It also is a move to help him in Ohio and Michigan.

    also, who is the source for this? And like, ofc kasich would be vetted for defense or something - plenty of Executive historical precedence . Guy crossed party lines, could be a factor in flipping Ohio. You get rewarded for things like that

    edit this is like when the left wept at the Idea Amy klobuchar would even be vetted for veep. Like ofc she would she’s a sitting senator w a campaign infrastructure from a battleground who endorsed Biden. Looking under the hood of the car for due diligence is whatever lol
