Trump needs to up his dose of BrainForce.

131 billionaires have donated to Biden, far surpassing Trump. Biden's rhetoric is decent, but as you say, don't expect him to be Bernie all of a sudden. His tax plan is modest, and he's said, to my knowledge, nothing about placing strong regulations on financial institutions, breaking up banks, busting up firms like Amazon or Wal-Mart, which are in the process of using this disaster to acquire more wealth and capital.

@perryegolson833 "I am not sure why you are acting like there's some razor-thin margin between Biden and Trump." Your confusion is understandable, because I neither said nor implied anything of the kind. Confusion is a natural outcome when your projection of reality doesn't agree with reality. I, for one, don't have "slight policy differences" with Biden. I have major policy differences as well as a total ideological disagreement with people like him. So it shouldn't be hard to imagine why I would have more issues with Biden's recursion to Obama era style tax laws than liberals like you. My point, which you missed entirely, was merely that if Biden were a threat to the propertied class, they wouldn't be rallying behind him - as they have done since he entered the primary. It's also worth pointing out that the notion that "billionaires and millionaires are doing fine" and that "they were the least likely to be affected" is really just conservative framing pretending to be progressive or at least economically conscious. In reality, billionaires and millionaires are not doing "just fine" and they aren't "the least affected." They're making a killing. They're expanding their profits, their operations, acquisitions. Theyre not losing money; they're making it. Something like the top 650 wealthiest people in America have amassed over $800b since the pandemic. Placing a series of incrementalist taxes on that hoard of ill-gotten wealth does nothing to fundamentally shift power and wealth back to the average person.

@perryegolson833 I was wrong about the label. You're clearly an enlightened centrist. Also, see edit.
