"This is why I have mixed feelings about Trump. It's all about the pocketbook. Of course he is a racist Fascist lying pig. But he gave me a tax cut. Biden instead gave "free" money to elite college-educated liberals too dumb or too privileged to know that you have to pay out of your own damn pockets for nice things. Not me. What is so hard to understand? Can't afford college? Get grades good enough for a scholarship or don't go. That is real life. Sorry."

I hear ya with the out of control spending. Take a look at the graph of the national debt, and it sure does seem to explode under Republican control, too. Do you give the GOP a free pass for their pathetic handling of taxpayer funds ? I most definitely do not. And when the GOP talks their BS about how they are "fiscally responsible", it pisses me off immensely.

I am not for all of the handouts, but these handouts are given on a much larger scale to the wealthy. The tax code is basically written by lobbyists for the wealthy, so it is naturally skewed in their favor.

I do willingly pay taxes. I want good public schools, good roads, clean water and air, and want
regulations and standards that corporate America has to live up to, as I do not trust that these corporations willingly will do this on their own. It does not take much effort to look into American history and see capitalists and monopolists stomping on the rights of working class Americans. I don't want to go back to that. You elect Trump, and you're taking a large step back in time, but hey, you do you.
