Disgusted with the Biden administration

Do we actually think Biden has it in him to run again? I can't imagine they actually want to run Harris, because I can't think of a more unlikable person in politics, which is saying A LOT, but Joe can't have that much left in the tank.

Joe Biden further proves Americans will vote whoever they're told to. No one liked him in the primaries until he wasn't winning and CNN and MSNBC panicked and started pushing him nonstop. Once he took full steam ahead, there was no stopping him. It was odd seeing democrats make fun of him early in primaries, to sucking him off after he started winning after SC. Only a matter of months. 

Same was true of Trump in 16 primaries. People laughed at the shit he said... then when they realized he was popular among a certain base... full steam ahead, let's get behind this guy.  

You'll never be POTUS unless you become a chosen one.

The flaw in your post is that he didnt win on votes.  Rigged election.

It's not about how much Joe has left in the tank, but how much Hunter has in the bank....

Can't imagine Harris. She was like 3% or less of the primary vote and hasn't exactly boosted her popularity as veep. Biden probably is a long shot due to age. Any Squad-types would alienate the centrist/independent voters, which is a problem due to how they're the younger up-and-comers in the party.

Might be a problem when your party doesn't have a single legit viable candidate because of either being too old, too centrist, too far left or whatever to get a large enough section of people interested in seeing you win. Where your one saving grace is that the opposition has been taken over by a comically egotistical dude who demands total fealty or he'll say mean stuff and his base will abandon you.

I mean, nothing surprises me anymore but really WaPo?!?

Haven't done any research, but just the premise makes me say "fake news".  I haven't seen anything this ridiculous be true in, like, forever.

I mean wapo is a liberal love letter. So if they have a problem then it must be an issue. Here is a link for WSJ too. I don’t necessarily believe it, but some liberals definitely want it. Not sure why you’re so skeptical, have you heard these fucks?

Biden's new $1.75T plan.....$550B+ on climate change, but not one penny for nuclear.

I really hope someone is tracking all these "green" handouts to see how much money is being kicked back to state and federal officials.

One thing is for certain the "Big Guy" is going to get his 10%.

Yeah, okay, sure.

I get that.  Just that the story seemed so absurd that it couldn't possibly be true.  LOL, I guess I was wrong.

And it makes me say, again, that "moderate" Biden can't actually be in charge.

It applies to people with $1 billion in assets, so the $1,000 stock is not a very good example.  

It's still absurd. It's also likely to trickle down to us proles eventually. The federal income tax was only supposed to be temporary and applied to the rich. Now the feds get at least 20% of most income earned.

If they want to be really evil, they'll also institute to that trading tax....that way, they hit you again when you have to liquidate some shares to pay the capital gains tax.

Otherwise, it is mostly a nuisance.  The $1k example was a horrible example - a stock that doubles and then goes back down is not a "taxable 100% unrealized gain", it's 0.  And if you got taxed one year and it went down the next, then you'd have a capital loss to offset other gains.

But it definitely DOES cost you money if you pay unrealized gains every year.  That can grow to a significant hidden tax because you no longer benefit from the bulk of investment gains on those deferred capital gains taxes.
