Ya know, the ones who barely pay taxes now, or don't pay at all. Who wouldn't go along with that? Large corporations and billionaires? There aren't that many of them.

If you see me here -or any people in high tax blue states using the language "Donor vs Taker States" - it's because we've been harping on the Tax Scam by the GOP to transfer wealth from Blue States with Personal Income tax AND property taxes - to transfer it to Red States - Alabama, Mississippi, Etc.

Maybe it will remind some of the 'purple' states that if Trump wins and McConnell succeeds - you are next. You TOO will be paying property taxes twice - once to Fed Gov and Once to your Local School District.

I seriously see my taxes lowered with Biden in the White House and a new Senate Leader. It's crushed the middle class in NJ. Crushed.
