    Lies. Harris would not increase the taxes on those making under $400k. That's why you failed to add a link. Trump wants to tax them through tariffs. Answer me this.. who pays tariffs?

    I've got to ask, since you disagreed with the notion that $1,800 is more than the changes in Capital Gains taxes would affect an average family, can you show me how much the average family takes in capital gains per year that would be affected by that particular increase?

    What's not being properly accounted for is the number of non-documented foreign-born migrants that are here illegally taking jobs.
    Exactly why we can't find over 400,000 missing children.

    Jobs aren't a zero sum game. And undocumented immigrants aren't stealing citizen jobs. Now, explain why the average family paying $1,800 a year in tariffs will make that back with the drop in capital gains taxes.

    The BLS just reported that between July to August native-born jobs went down by 1.3 million while foreign born jobs went up by 635,000.
    The tariffs Trump is threatening are a negotiating ploy to bring the Chinese to the table versus the wealth confiscation the Dems are hell-bent on doing.

    Do you have actual proof immigrants are taking citizen jobs? Because again, jobs aren't zero sum.

    Welcome to an aging population.

    The sign of any successful negotiating tactic: refer to it as a ploy. Also, make sure to threaten to do it for all imports from every country.

    Are the murderers and dictators we face in Russia, Iran and China more afraid of the laughing hyena or Donald Trump?

    According to BLS numbers, we still have more open positions than those collecting unemployment. Though the gap is closing, it's still over 500,000. This should tell people immigrants aren't stealing anyone's job.

    As for who dictators fear most? It's Harris. Trump is an useful idiot that can easily be manipulated. Just tell Trump how awesome he is at everything and you'll have him eating out of your hand. Harris is more of an unknown.

    And still waiting on how average families paying $1,800 a month more in tariff taxes will benefit by a reduction in capital gains taxes.

    Remember you're asking someone who argued Russia, Iran and China are afraid of this:

    They must have been afraid, otherwise they (Russia and China) wouldn't have been supporting this:

    After months and months and months of great economic news, the minute a guy running a convenience store in Mobile, Alabama lets his night clerk go, you or the swamp MAGAt run here to breathlessly post about it. The act is tired.

    that would be a net decrease of 665000 net jobs in one month which clearly did not happen.

    I'm sure that once Trump deports the undocumented foreign-born migrants illegally taking jobs native born Americans will be applying in large numbers for jobs harvesting crops, working in slaughterhouses and meatpacking plants, landscaping and washing dishes in restaurants to replace them.

    Nothing you just posted said she’d raise taxes on people making under $400k genius.

    Definitely. ThePlayer and his ilk will be the first ones in line to apply for those summer squash picking jobs out in the fields in Florida where Desantis made it illegal for local governments to regulate heat protection laws for outdoor workers.

    Why would the Chinese, Russians or Iranians be afraid of ploys or the guy that they can manipulate by simply telling him how smart and great he is?

    Since I asked you for evidence of my saying these things and you have not, I'll defend to say you are lying.
