Those two very specific tax increases don't come anywhere near the benefits they'll receive from the proposed Trump cuts.

Well when Obama care came through I was making approximately $50k a year with 3 kids and stay at home wife. It completely destroyed our finances, tripled premium, deductible from $1,000 to $4,000. Our biggest finance went from house to healthcare. Was great at the time when wife was fighting cancer having to change her doctor and us no longer be able to afford meds she was using at the time. Thankfully she got through it but having to suddenly pull out huge loans thanks to D party platform wasn't fun. Also writing a letter to a congressman and being told if I got on the exchange it would make it more affordable only to be told I can't get on the exchange b/c I already have insurance was fantastic.
Trump's tax cuts gave me close to $100 more dollars a month. Maybe not huge, but helped fill a gap. There were other families I know who were hit much harder than me with Obama care. We can thank it for making healthcare unaffordable and raising prices. We can also thank it for being essentially unfixable.

It sounds like you need a better accountant. $50k in 2012 was less than $4k over 200% of poverty. You would've qualified for deep subsidies on the exchange.

I went from an annual refund of roughly $500 to owing $500 under Trump's cuts. All it did was shift when my taxes were paid.

Don't you realize that DEI, Diversity and using the USA's power to spread Queer Culture and Globo Homo are very, very beneficial to the American People?
No?
You are a Nazi.

I like the one where the stock market makes lots of money for 4 years. That’s a good one.

No, because they believe in open borders and open borders requires the destruction of the west.

She was never denied care, just went from our insurance handling to our bank having to handle it

Good. They pay the vast majority of the taxes. I want those paying no income taxes to pay more.

They have great "platforms" ... a lot of which I could get behind.
The problem with Democrats for me however is their sincerity and lack of execution when they do have sincerity.
They do not care for any of the disadvantaged groups they claim to care for. They care for power and nothing else.
Also, they are completely incompetent. Can't lead. Can't build. Can't maintain. And the modern Democrat party now has almost no place left in America.
They at least help the right to some degree keep from going full right but they don't realize that the more left they go, the more right that the right goes.

I wonder sometimes ,when I see their determination to destroy the greatest country in the history of man, do they not have any children, grandchildren are other young in their families.
Prior to the election, I wondered what kind of a world my grandchildren would live in.
My oldest will have his degree in Computer Science next year. It now appears his employment future is going to be positive.

Most liberals I know like the business as usual don't fix it angle. They think and believe the nonsense anti trump stuff. Also, all of the stuff Obama promised never happened, because of Republicans and Racist.

The Democrats in Congress want to raise taxes on themselves so everyone can have affordable healthcare?

I agree with this.
So, if I look at OPs question and even think “any platform that has the best interests of the American public in mind”….I would still be able to honestly answer no. Not a single thing.
That’s not hyperbole and I’d invite any Dem supporter to specifically point out why I’d be mistaken.

So by raise taxes on the wealthy, you mean raise taxes on the middle class and young people.
