Under Trump, the tax cuts for the wealthiest exploded the deficit by $7,000,000,000,000 and now the GOP is saying we're spending too much and we need to cut entitlements. So that's a non-starter. (FWIW, my taxes also increased under Trump) Worse, Trump destabilized security across the globe, and that's playing out with Russia, China and the middle-east.

So yes, Jo-n-kamala offer a better option for me and my kids. If Biden is re-elected and increases tax rates for those of us making less than $400K, then I'll be less happy. I don't think that will happen but it could. But I'm done believing in Santa, magic and trickle-down economics. And I'm tired of the GOP using culture wars to distract folks like you while they subsidize the hopes and dreams of their billionaire donors. And I believe Biden will continue to invest in US infrastructure, manufacturing and the middle class, and that will drive my investments to grow.

So I want 4 years where we focus on growing the middle class, pushing back on dictators, and enforcing our laws on everyone, equally. And growth.
CJF, I appreciate the response. My thought process does not involve Santa, trickle-down, magic or dictators. We are of similar age, I have twice as many kids, and half of them are married. My wife and I got half of them all through college, and the other two dropped out to voluntarily start ambitious and successful careers. None of them burden society with substance abuse "medical conditions", nor have they taken any criminal court or penal system resources. I choose to continue working, I like what I do, and I value it. Lol, so what?

I am not so sure you are aware of what has happened to the national debt in the past three years. I prefer to stay aware of world events, and I cannot comprehend how you see world leadership with our current administration, three years on and you still blame Trump? My children can get a speeding ticket, or are forced to pay for free drug needle programs, but their children have to compete for school seats and basic services with illegal alien felons, according to our laws?

You do know your regular people have supposedly gone over a trillion in credit card debt? Do you realize your administration has gone, hat in hand, begging Iran and Venezuela for crude oil, after irresponsibly tapping the national reserve? What a difference three years makes? Take care of your two precious daughters, the best you see fit. Do you think they would have concern if you lost your train of thought and fell regularly like our current guardian of the future?
