@Iamdissapoint 🤦 We should all pay the exact same, LOW percentage. Otherwise it is monetary discrimination. Rich people are penalized for working 80+ hour work weeks, taking risks, having ideas and following through with them, building companies and employing people, etc, etc, etc.
Trump came in and lowered taxes for everyone and started deregulating and what happened?...wages increased, millions more jobs were created, and we had one of the best economies the US has had. Studies show that on average, wealth for Americans increased 17% while it increased 54% for the bottom half of Americans.
The 1% already pay most of the taxes. The 1% pay 39% of all income taxes. The 10% pay 69%. The top 50% pay 96%. The lower half pay 3%. This does not even include the people who pay zero percent. The bottom half are a net negative as they take more in programs than they pay in. Their average tax rate is 4% while the 1% average tax rate is 27%. The top 1 percent paid a greater share of individual income taxes (37.3 percent) than the bottom 90 percent combined (30.5 percent).

@musicfanatic6558 As for covid, he shut down travel from China immediately and the left(Biden specifically)said he was xenophobic for doing so. He created the coronavirus taskforce immediately. He ensured every state had all the ventilators and medical setups they needed and was applauded for it by several Democratic governors, including Cuomo and Newsom. Dr Fauci himself, whom is adored by the left, said that Trump did everything he should have and he can't think of anything more that he could have done.
Since Trump is NOT a dictator, he left decisions of mandates and lockdowns up to the states, as he should have. Some states did better than others. Some states, Democratic run, put sick people in NURSING HOMES. We all knew from the very beginning that the elderly were the most vulnerable yet they put sick people with them while their hospitals were empty and Trumps administration had medical facilities set up for them to use. Nursing homes represent less than 1% of the U.S. population, but they account for 42% of the COVID-19 deaths, with more than 70,000 fatalities reported by the COVID Tracking Project. (Number is from August)

@musicfanatic6558 And before you counter with the false claim that Biden wasnt saying Trump's travel ban from China was xenophobic, the proof say otherwise.
On Jan. 27, Biden wrote an op-ed published in USA Today, he said President Trump’s calls in 2014 for travel restrictions during the Ebola outbreak as “reactionary.” He said, Biden wrote, “I remember how Trump sought to stoke fear and stigma during the 2014 Ebola epidemic. He called President Barack Obama a ‘dope’ and ‘incompetent’ and railed against the evidence-based response our administration put in place – which quelled the crisis and saved hundreds of thousands of lives – in favor of reactionary travel bans that would only have made things worse.” So he thought travel bans were bad. He clearly was anticipating the move. And the WHO was against Trumps ban so, in Bidens words(you will see later), he was against it since the "science" was against it. (Fauci has since said it was a good move and he can't think of anything else Trump could have done)
Then a few days later, Trump issued the travel ban for this virus. One day after the travel restrictions were put into place, Biden said in Iowa, “We have, right now, a crisis with the coronavirus… This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia – hysterical xenophobia – and fearmongering to lead the way instead of science.” He then added that “Diseases have no borders, they have no borders.”
On March 12, the very same day President Trump implemented further travel restrictions on Europe, leaving little doubt about his thoughts on the travel ban, Biden said, “Banning all travel from Europe or any other part of the world may slow it but as we’ve seen will not stop it. And travel restrictions based on favoritism and politics, rather than risk, will be counterproductive.”
The same day, Biden Tweeted, “A wall will not stop the coronavirus. Banning all travel from Europe — or any other part of the world — will not stop it…”
He called the travel bans “reactionary,” “hysterical,” “xenophobic,” and “counterproductive.”
