If it means getting rid of federal income tax, I am fine with paying higher prices. We get screwed either way but I would rather get screwed less lol

A lot of people voted Trump because they wanted cheaper prices on groceries, and gas. Was a huge talking point. He needs to keep that promise, because I would love if these things got cheaper, and was honestly one of the things I hope he actually got done, despite my own personal opinion on him.

If the federal income tax is removed, even if things got more expensive, people would still have more money to spend. It balances itself out.

Say your spending costs go up $400 a month. It is going to SUCK but you also have an extra $800 a month to spend. You are still at a net positive of $400. The markets would adjust over time as well and things would get cheaper because buyers would have more control of their money and it would encourage smarter state budgeting. We would see more local farming being done which will reduce cost and waste. More jobs will be created too and more opportunity for smaller businesses to blossom. The federal income tax cripples small businesses.

This is assuming he cuts the fed tax. If he pushes teriffs and doesn't, well then yeah I am going pissed lol

And if this all blows up and gets way worse then by all means, tell me "I told you so!" but I think this will end up being great for everyone.

I hope you're right, cause shit ain't easy out here right now for sure right now.

But nah, I'm not really the type of person to say "I told you so." at least to someone who is nice to me, and surely in cases that I rather be wrong lol. Would be nice to be able to afford the shit I like without almost breaking the bank.

Trust me, I get it. We have been trying to buy a house since 2020 and it has not been made any easier for us. I want the economy and stuff to improve for everyone.

Look, the reason why the groceries and products went up is complex or simple but that depends on if YOU can understand it and/or want to hear it.

Biden shut off Xi Keystone on day one. It was our own independent gas pipeline. This is how it works..

Xi Keystone > Trucks picks up gas > drives to gas stations nationwide > trucks gets gas > delivers goods > prices of gas goes down > trucks picks up gas > rinse and repeat

If we use international gas like gas from Ukraine for example, gas prices go up. If we import products from other countries, OUR money not only LEAVES the country, but our economy suffers as a result. We GET cheaper products from other countries, but we're benefiting THEM. If we make our own stuff here, and is more expensive - that money pays for taxes and regulations.

I can go on, but complaining about it while ignoring who does what is going to hurt you in the long run.

You hate Trump because of what the media tells you. But he DID lower taxes, and kept gas prices low. The media is going to spend the next 4 years wasting time and money doing political manipulation in hopes of hurting Trump's polls, despite a general rule of thumb in politics: You can only run for president 2 terms. All these manipulated leftists are complaining about nothing. He's leaving office 2028. Like its stupid.

Here is the Matrix cheat code:

Democrats = Taxes go up
Republican = Taxes go down

The only thing I’m replying to here is this bold part. Because that has nothing to do with why I hate him. It’s because I see with my own eyes the type of person he is. Anyone who has a problem with him, he attacks, he thinks no one should EVER criticize him. He’s got a huge HUGE ego. Look at the shit he said about John McCain, a fucking WAR HERO, he said isn’t a hero because he was a POW. I told you this stuff before about my issues with him. Like even if he wasn’t in politics, and he acted like that, I wouldn’t like him. Don’t you dare tell me why I have a problem with someone after I told you before you were wrong.

As far as the other crap goes, again as I told Beerus, hope it does get cheaper. So I’m not even going to argue with you over that.

My point is, Trump is a net positive for all of us. The media has a way of branding people a certain way. Right now? Its: Trump is "hitler." Really? Who spent the last 4 fucking years jailing political prisoners, its Democrats. GTFO here with that BS.

His attacks on McCain shouldn't affect you as it has. Its politics. Just look at Carter's funeral. Obama and Trump talking after all the shit talking? Politics. Hillary Clinton and Trump? Its personal. But Trump to his credit, he said he respects the Clintons. Hillary doesn't though.

You shouldn't have said "I hope gas goes down." You should've said: "Gas is going down," and its because...

He. Did. It. Before.

I’ll keep disliking him for the type of person he is. That’s my right as an American citizen. Just like you like him, that’s your right. The beautiful part of being in America. We have the right to like and dislike whoever we want. Cause again, you keep talking about the Media, idc. Nothing to do with my opinion of him. Cause I don’t like plenty of Democrats either. I don’t let the media influence me like that. There’s a reason I liked Jimmy Carter, because he was a good hearted man.

I don't care. Just understand that this opinion hurts you when you go to vote. I guarantee you; you will vote - and I think you did vote Democrat in 2024 - you will vote Democrat in 2028 with this mindset..

But YOU wanted or want lower taxes. (Because you want lower gas prices.) They call you a Republican.

THIS (Democratic) PARTY DOESN'T want lower taxes, they want taxes so they can spend.. They don't create laws in that way. Not today. Probably ever.

There was a time when they did. 90's.

These Democrats are NOT the 90's Democrat.

So... <pats back> ...Good luck.

I didn’t vote for either. I don’t like Kamala, not because I think she’s a bad person, but because she’s an idiot. I’ve said this before that I don’t like her. To me, the person running this country should be someone who sets a good example, and who isn’t an idiot. Both choices we had fails in one of those categories


If I had a kid, I wouldn’t want them to treat people the way Trump does. Like I’m sorry, now this will be my last reply on this. I don’t want to set off.

Fine. Whatever. At least you thought Kamala was (is...?) Stupid. At least you acknowledge that. Because a lot of Democrats are blindly voting for her, as if they didn't see the train wreck of Biden.

I still think you are easily swayed. But I'll leave it there.
