That's odd, because he's on video telling everyone their taxes are going to be increased. What do you think what happens when you tax more than 50% of apartment complexes income? The rent goes up. He's also a proponent of the New Green Deal, that will raise the taxes by 4 trillion dollars. So I'm not sure what you're referring to, but Biden is going to raise taxes.

What happened in my area when they raised the minimum wage? Prices on mostly everything went up $2 and all of the low profit margin businesses started getting rid of full time employees. What happens when you start taxing those restaurants that make $400,000 or other companies? The cost gets passed onto the consumer. Liberals can't comprehend this until it hits their personal pocket books and by then when they finally wake up it's too late. It makes no sense to pay everyone more and then raise all of the prices ... that makes the raise pointless, but stupid people think they're going to have more money in the end and that's just not the case.

I'm watching Joe Rogan cover it on youtube. Can't be fucked with the leftmedia all night.

I like knowing what the competition is thinking and doing. I know Liberals are programmed to claim things that goes against their agenda are racist or conspiracy theories so they automatically dismiss whatever the subject matter is and completely ignore it, but that's stupid. Understanding the competition is how you're supposed to play things out. In any good game knowing what your opponent is going to do will give you the upper edge. Yes, it's a bunch of Liberal crap and they aren't even hiding the fact they want Trump to lose, but as long as the facts like the numbers are correct I don't mind the bullshit.

Fact check:
  1. Increases in the minimum wage don't generally cause price increases.
  2. Biden's 400k tax plan applies to households, not businesses.

This thread is gonna be really funny tomorrow. Hahahahaha! So much for your polls.

Here's my prediction, @Lacius and @LumInvader will be hiding for a while.

He won Florida by a way bigger margin than in 2016, and is about to win Ohio and North Carolina while being ahead in Michigan and Wisconsin. It's fucking over for Biden. Guess months of grasping at fake polls didn't help you keep your bubble alive.

Trump right now is wining the popular vote but loosing the electoral one.
He's still not. 33 million vs 31 million for Biden. But California will probably give Biden the popular vote win with all the illegal voters.

Btw Trump is pulling ahead in Pennsylvania now also. Looks like he'll take the entire rust belt again.

Edit: He flipped Pennsylvania. Looks like this might will be a bigger win than 2016.

Don't get your hopes up, mail in ballots are counted last.

Indeed. I believe we're going to have to wait for some time until we know who won. It's just sad that we're all scared of an illness with a 99.8% survival rate and that's why we won't know the outcome for possible almost a week. The Government really played the fuck out of a simple illness and the majority of people fell for it.

Not hard at all, which is another reason why we should not be afraid of it. Wearing masks properly does have health benefits as they can filter out bad air, airborne bacteria, pollution and viruses. I'm not opposed to people wearing masks, but understand if anyone doesn't want to wear one. There's so many other things in life that are deadly, such as car accidents and obesity, but I don't see anyone trying to ban automobiles or help people learn how to exercise and eat properly. I was never scared of the Chinese Wuhan Corona Virus and even less so now as the serious infection and death rates are so low it's a trivial matter. It's just too bad people are still scared of it.

So I don't want to jinx it. This is just one of 6 bets I placed on trump. I've also got $50 on Trump on pokerstars, Bet365 seem to be the most accurate though. The fact they're offering me double to cashout now seems to suggest Trump has more than likely won.

You sound so ridiculous and pathetic. WW3 was never on the agenda, Trump hasn't started any new wars, he's brought more peace than any other president in your life time. You're so deluded, the only people you should fear are those on the left, your comrades who will burn everything down and loot. Take a step back and look at the facts for once. You've survived the last 4 years champ, you made it! you can do another 4.
