    What killed Biden and Harris was the outright denial of what people were feeling.

    “The economy is hurting us!”

    “What are you talking about, Jack? We have the best economy ever! Look… inflation is only 3% (on top of 3%, on top of 9%), we’re doing GREAT! Not a joke! I’m serious!”

      Harris and Biden were correct, though. Less people were suffering than ever, and what little new ails people did face were partly because of the previous admin and largely because of a global pandemic.

      And she proposed policies like Taxing people who have more than a Million Dollars in unrealized gains in a year. Giving new and improved child and student tax credits to lower income earners.

      Instead, we’re going to let Trump’s team write the new tax laws immediately after his old ones expire.
