I for the life of me don’t understand this. You hate the President, I get it.. but how do you vote for less money in your own wallet?

Because most of Biden’s voters are either so rich that it doesn’t matter or poors who rely on daddy government.

Then by that logic, every independent, middle class vote should be going to trump

A lot of it is guilt.

The media has really brainwashed the upper class liberals into giving all of their money away to the poor urban areas.

In my experience, many people my age (mid-late 20s recent graduates) probably couldn't tell you how much is in their bank account, let alone understand taxes.

Because they are weak minded and believe what the news tell them . This will never change with out a civil war or splitting the country. A lot of the democrat voters will never understand what they are voting for With out living it .

The morons have convinced themselves that Biden's tax plan won't affect them.

Not so. There’s a lot of middle class Biden voters who are just clueless what a Biden presidency means to them economically. You drive into the core of Kansas City and if you look at yard signs it’s 10 to 1 Biden. I expect the Trump signs to pop up the last 7-10 days before the election to minimize vandalism.....lol!

The left they don’t care how much they give to the government as long as the government takes care of them from cradle to grave...

The last time anyone in this country feared for their lives was during the Cuban missile crisis. That is the better part of 3 generations of prosperity and being the world's most dominant superpower. This leads many people to get overly comfortable and take for granted the freedoms we enjoy. Middle America is basically asleep at the wheel.

There are far too many soccer moms who watch NBC all day and buy into their bullshite.

I’ll be voting MAGA, but let’s be honest, at some point we are going to have to get serious about the debt. We are over $27 trillion now. If and when we decide to do something about it, the time will never be ideal.

Had a Lib friend tell me it was “selfish” to vote for a candidate based on your own financial interests.

This is exactly right. I listened to a podcast on Victor Davis Hanson the other day and he made this point. The rich want to use the government. The poor need the government. It's the middle that live independently and therefore do not like the government. Trump is the champion of the Middle Class.

I vote against the union. Technically Mississippi is a right to work state and if democrats ran the state maybe that would help collective bargaining but I don’t care who Mike Espy is and what Hyde Smith does. One has a R the other a D. I even contribute to the PAC fund. I did campaign for Jim Hood but I would never support the Democratic Party in Congress or president.

I’ve seen this before with employees. When their taxes go up they’ll come bitching for more money.

Our financial advisor, in Houston, is FULL MAGA. We talk politics a lot. Mostly the impacts on economics, investment, etc. but also deeper.

He has some Democrat/Left clients that he has to adjust how he makes suggestions and predictions for, because being a Democrat is so antithetical to a prosperous economy.

He also said 3/4 of these Dem clients are a drag to meet with, NO sense of humor.

I think an even bigger segment is too stupid to realize they are voting against their own pocketbook. Kardi B for example (don't give a shite if I misspelled her name)
