2024 Presidential Election

[Kung Wu]

Having to pay a deferred capital gains tax at a point in time before eternity does not equate to a significantly higher negative asymmetric investment risk, all things considered.

That already exists and is called estate tax.

Now, if this tax was calculated on a short-term interval, like each year, it would be quite malevolent.

This is exactly what the socialists want.

But what about the guy holding $500M worth of Amazon stock w/ an unadjusted cost basis of $5? Maybe he's due for a little haircut?

Ask France, Iceland, Sweden, etc, what happens when you start giving haircuts to your wealthiest investors. I'll save you the trouble:

They all abolished their wealth taxes which included unrealized gains, because:

1) Investors left.
2) Investors had to sell assets to cover paper profits, so they stopped investing anywhere near the levels they normally would.
3) The tiny bump in government income pissed off its wealthiest people while not really making any impact.

It's a very, very dumb idea that has been tried many times, and fails every time.

Like every important thing in Kamala’s life, she “blew it.”

Tucker Carlson Goes Absolutely Nuclear On Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, And More At Georgia Trump Event

[ShockerFever]

The Democrat troll literally just wants a reaction. Absolutely doesn’t believe anything he posts. This goes back to the Covid days, the conference message board days, etc.

Btw, since he’s pushing the greed train, there are PLENTY of people that are greedy that reside in the lowest of tax brackets too. They garner the system, they do what they can to get as much as they want with as little effort as possible, see minimum wage/union activists, see increased property crime totals.

So please spare us with the greed garbage and acting like it’s just a one-end problem.

Im pretty sure if you were a millionaire you wouldn’t be handing out your money left and right and settling with a tiny house instead out of the goodness of your heart. Fake.

Today's Electoral update and path to victory difficulty:

If Trump carries all 24 states he should (AK, ID, MT, ND, SD, UT, WY, NE, KS, OK, TX, IA, MO, AR, LA, MS, TN, KY, IN, AL, OH, WV, SC, FL) then he still needs some combination of the 7 so called swing states totaling 51 electoral votes or more to get to 270 and win outright.

The only 3 state combo to 51 is GA, NC and PA (and that's exactly 51). Several 4 state combos don't get him there. For instance, GA, NC, AZ & NV only get Trump to 49 (268). And there's absolutely no guarantee that GA and NC are in the bank for the GOP to say nothing of AZ and NV. No matter the momentum for Trump, it's an extremely narrow needle he must thread to be 47.

Today is the first time I ever used early voting.

NEW: CNN’s Scott Jennings says Kamala Harris is a “double-threat” because she can’t think on her feet and can’t answer the expected questions. CNN has railed on Harris after her town hall event. Here are the top reactions:
6. Axelrod: She is word salad city.
5. Jennings: Kamala is a double threat because she can’t answer anything.
4. Jake Tapper: She spent most of the time talking about Trump.
3. Dana Bash: Kamala did not close the deal.
2. Van Jones: The word salad stuff gets on my nerves.
1. David Urban: Kamala lost a one person debate.

She will do great on the world stage going toe to toe with the Russias, Irans and Chinas though.

Did Cold convince you to vote for Kamala?

PA seems critical.

CB doesn't believe any of the **** he is spouting.

I can't even deny the possibility that the wealth gap may eventually be self-correcting.

While Kamala definitely ticks some boxes, I think they could have done better. You would think the first female president would come with a bit more accolades and experience than Kamala.

If they'd have chosen a soft-spoken, cuckold male, married to a dominant older woman, who constantly apologizes for his whiteness... they'd be leading by 15 pts.
