Except for the polls of those who have voted are much stronger than R vs D would indicate (esp in battleground states)
Dems will still have an edge on mail-in ballots, but Reps have focused more on early and mail voting so it probably won't be as big. Question is whether that will actually make a difference, or will just cannibalize election day R votes.
Basically this is the key. Women and disaffected Republicans. Maybe now Puerto Ricans are on our side. Can they outnumber the MAGA, the working class who are feeling inflation, the evangelicals, the bro-verse, the racists?
Always heard that Wednesday was one of the worst days of the week. Sounds like time to go into denial and never acknowledge another one. Will that count or is this election centric?
What were you expecting CNN to be covering at 5 a.m this morning?
You know...I think that's a personal decision.
And a rhetorical question as well.
This article, while explaining the proposal, didn't seem to think it was a good idea...Right. And it’s not even a tax on all gains. Just making sure billionaires don’t pay less taxes on their new wealth than middle class Americans.
Analysis of Harris’s Billionaire Minimum Tax on Unrealized Capital Gains
In her campaign for president, VP Kamala Harris has embraced all the tax increases President Biden proposed in the White House FY 2025 budget—including a new idea that would require taxpayers with net wealth above $100 million to pay a minimum tax on their unrealized capital gains from assets...taxfoundation.org
“Under the new proposal, taxpayers with net wealth above $100 million would be required to pay a minimum effective tax rate of 25 percent on an expanded measure of income that includes their unrealized capital gains. Taxpayers would calculate their effective tax rate for the minimum tax and, if it fell below 25 percent, would owe additional taxes to bring their effective rate to 25 percent. Any additional taxes owed because of the minimum tax would be payable over nine years initially, and over five years going forward.“
Funnily enough, now he won't get to vote at all since he's being detainedSince it’s been well documented that men of his age are all voting for trump, it’s safe to assume this soon to be convicted felon is a Trumper.

Right. Which is one of the reasons I posted it. When even organizations that don't support her plan are describing it in a way that's completely different from the way Zen and HY are describing it, that seems to add a little credibility in my view. The Tax Foundation's primary objection is not that it's a bad concept to tax some amount of unrealized gains for ultrawealthy individuals. It's that Kamala's proposal is complicated and difficult to administer, and therefore economically inefficient. That may be true, but it doesn't change the conclusion that, according to the vast majority of economic experts, Kamala's plan is immeasurably better than Trump's.
No doubt it would be complicated-and the tax specialists on the Uber wealthy's payroll would constantly shift strategies to avoid it . It's worth the try to me -because the trend of money piling up in Untaxed places is accelerating and kind of terrifying
What kind of psychopath are you?!? Feels more like medical test results day, to me.
Maybe this would've been more apt:
