      I really don’t think the dems did

      Clinton raised tax rates on the wealthy.

      Obama raised tax rates on the wealthy.

      Biden raised the minimum tax rates on corporations from 0% to 15%.

      Harris was going to raise this rate even higher.

      This is all part of the public record. Try to pay more attention to what is going on. For your own sake. And for our sake, if you are going to make comments here.

      Trumps went pretty much under the radar

      Trump lowered taxes on the wealthy by $4 trillion in 2017 Tax cuts and jobs act… Next year, all income groups under 75k in the same 2017 legislation will pay more taxes because of Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act according to the congressional budget office joint committee on taxation. Treason Trump has already indicated he is going give the wealthy yet another gigantic GOP tax cut.

          You know, when someone asks for sauce, they are asking for links; for proof

          You are so f*cking lazy. You could have googled this stuff, instead of REPEATING your baseless claims. The worst thing you can do on the internet is express confident ignorance. And you just did it.

          Obama didn’t raise taxes on the rich, he just closed loopholes for them

          Nope. He raised tax rates on the rich.

          Harris promised to continue the legacy of Biden

          Nope. She promised to raise taxes on corporations and the rich.

          Biden did vaguely talk about it for a short while nothing came of it

          Nope. Biden raised the minimum tax rates on corporations.

              3 last dem president raised… since you aren’t claiming anymore that Biden did :)

              Obama did exactly what I claimed he did. Raised tax rates on the rich. I proved it. He raised the top income tax rate from 35% to 39.6%.

              Biden did exactly what I claimed he did. He raised the minimum tax on corporations from 0% to 15%. I never claim that Biden raised income tax rates. I don’t make shit up dude.

              Here was my exact claim.

              [Biden raised the minimum tax rates on corporations from 0% to 15%.]

              If you make a claim then you also take the requirement of proof on you.

              Everybody paying attention already knew these things to be true. Do you want me to prove that 2+2=4 next?

                  Corpos are now rich folk? Moving the goal post, ain’t you?

                  Not one inch. I literally never claimed Biden did anything other than reduce the tax rate on corporations. Which are mostly owned by the wealthy, but are also too powerful in their own right.

                  your def of a good presidentship is how much they raised taxes on the rich? Really?

                  I believe that raising (or lowering) taxes on the wealthy and/or corporations is literally one of the most important things if not the most important thing of a president’s term. The reason for that is because wealth inequality if related to almost every other problem we have.

                  how the fuck am I supposed to get to know things if I can’t ask?

                  You can ask. Including asking for links. But when someone makes an assertion you can and should google that assertion to find out if it is true if you suspect it is not, rather than simply repeating a false claim.

                  Also keep in mind that you cannot depend on the media to point out what the important stuff is. The billionaire owned media buries any good stuff about Dems because rich people want gigantic GOP cuts and because journalists aren’t any better at other people in focusing on what is important. That’s probably why you did not know about Harris’s 82 page PDF of policy proposals.

                  I am not even old enough to vote yet,

                  Then you should be a little more humble before making confidently false claims. I knew all of those things happened because I remembered them happening. So understand there are people who know more than you and aren’t necessarily lying when they tell you something you didn’t know.
