    So the landscape worker busting his butt in 100F heat pays taxes yet somehow the person pouring you a glass of wine doesn't?

    The hypocrisy around here can be mind numbing.

    I'll just leave this beauty here. I know you haven't watched 9 years' worth of Trump rallies or press conferences as Trump 45 which I have done. I know more about Trump than you will ever know.

    Seems like maybe we do agree on something. I'd have thought your fingers would have snapped off before saying that.

    Trump should one up her and propose a national abortion protection bill.

    Trump doesn't have a platform, he has a Magical Festivus Wishlist.

    This thread, lmao. Of course, Trump didn’t originate the idea. Is anyone even claiming that? But it was clearly a policy initiative of his going into this election and Harris has ripped it off. And the obvious question, if it’s just as much Harris’ idea as it is Trump, couldn’t Biden/Harris implement it today? Why do servers have to wait?

    Embarrassing desperation.

    What happened to all the polls you were posting?

    BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You got stuck with that old senile Trump and the couch man, Vance.

    You got duped. MAGA is on life support buddy.

    OK, that would have to be ~ 39% possibly more if food or low income people had some level of exclusion. Perhaps a worthy experiment but A candidate with that tax policy plank would be a sure fire loser at the ballot box imo.

    What would the tax rate be under a national retail sales tax?

    Disappointed Harris is copying this stupid idea from Trump.

    Thankfully it's too late for Harris to steal Trump's idea of bleach injection.

    Totally agree.
    I suspect most cash tips aren't declared anyway, but this just seems like more pandering. Just pay employees a living wage and tax accordingly.
