    Right - but his claim was that SS taxes were going up on small businesses who are losing everything. Those people are not making over $400k.

    1000% agree with this - this would make employing "regular people" cheaper relative to high-level executives and make the tax code so much more progressive. It's one of the huge flaws with our tax code right now.

    Had Trump approached COVID with empathy, understanding, a clear message and a reasonable plan, he would have won in a landslide.

    Geezus you are insufferable. Since you make generic, false claims, please read:

    "Biden's $2.3 trillion of tax increases on individuals include higher individual income and payroll tax rates, fewer deductions, and higher taxes on capital gains and dividends. However, all of these tax increases would be limited to households making over $400,000, which is only around 1.5 percent of total households...."

    I agree with this. It looks like Georgia, Pennsylvania and Arizona will all narrowly go for Trump and he will win re-election.

    the op was right, this election is close because of COVID-19. Trump will be always be himself(which many may be turned off by). But their are other men of minority groups who like his non-pc brash like statements on things. Especially coming from the overly politically correct Obama era

    Well, head over to the betting markets then and make a killing.

    Biden is not only going to win Pennsylvania, he'll win it by 100k or more votes by the time all the counting is done.

    My household doesn't currently make that much but we expect to pay more for many things as the increased taxes will be passed on to the goods and services that the higher earners produce.

    I'm biased but I tend to agree. I think PA is trending HEAVILY towards Biden, he's winning batches at 80% and there's tons...tons of votes left there.

    GA will be close but it's very possible.

    Who knows what is going on in NV, but in AZ all Biden has to do in AZ is remain competitive in Maricopa, this means winning about 45% of that vote, and so far he's been doing much better there than Clinton ever did.
