It’s already so close, poll-wise, but yeah a capital strike would almost certainly mean Trump wins.
Business isn’t exactly being threatened by Biden, though, so why not keep things rolling and let the Democrats take the political hit for this inevitable recession happening on their watch.

You just said it. It's inevitable so might as well kick it off now and blame center-right Biden's "communist" policies and get Trumpy back in for another round of insane tax cuts that no serious candidate from any party would sign off on.

Tax cuts are the last thing you want to do if you’re trying to rein in inflation. Governments rely too much on interest rates to control inflation, when we could use tax policy to achieve similar goals, but getting politicians to raise taxes is unpalatable.

Not to me. If billionaires paid the same amount of taxes that you and me do. This wouldn’t even be under discussion. They pay about less than 2%, if that. Absurd…

Honestly, you don’t even even wanna get me started. The way Bill Gates donates money. Does not matter when you know how much money he’s hiding in the Cayman Islands and in Swiss Bank accounts.

Percentage wise sir. I don’t make trillions of dollars. So me paying my taxes is a drop in the bucket. If he paid the same amount percentage wise as me. That would be billions of dollars.

Absolutely. All of the money is being used on research and development. A tiny percentage of that goes to education. That should be the biggest thing. Instead, we have this little pie chart here.

Construction workers ought to be paid more. I've known some scoundrel ass mfers who work construction and hard labor, but if they were paid better and there was more funding, they might not be such scoundrels, and there would probably be better roads and water systems.

 This is the most current one. The other one was a little old. I do question how much of that medical research is for the benefit of humanity though.

Yeah, I know I'm waiting for Nero to come back from the grave and restore the pagan order too.
lol
There should be even higher taxes on billionaires to fund exactly labor and science and etc. That should be seen as a civic duty to begin with. People really want to reach that status of Nero. Ain't happening. That day is gone. The equivalent today is Kim Jong or Putin. There are too many people. Only despots can be emperors today.
