    I'm not too excited about Beto, but how is Pete a "loser"? He is probably the most intelligent person in the line-up, he is "quick on his feet", and he is grounded in reality. As a mayor he is also experienced.

    IMAGINE:

    The Eisenhower Tax Code today with
    numbers adjusted for inflation.


    That is the Tax Code I want.

    A most Progressive Tax until JFK and others gave us all those
    Bipartisan Tax Cuts that amounted to hardly Dinner and a Movie for most,
    with loss of services AND "redistributing the total wealth of the nation
    to the top 0.1%." Okay, you want the whole, 1%, you can have it.
    We've had 6 decades of such, wealth redistribution to the top.

    Pete is a loser. Yes he is. That is "how". Reality check time


    Besides, his experience at rehabilitating an economy was for one not major, city.


    @Kode removed a video included in a proposed PPV
    Beto vs Pete suggestion.

    Who's reality? He is the mayor of one of the lowest rated cities. As president do you think he can duplicate that?

    Also commonplace for anyone (wealthy or not wealthy) who wants to be able to (at some point) retire.

    I don't care if he's gay or straight, his commie views rule him out from the start.

    yep, that is wrong, don't you agree, why should the working class pay more tax per dollar they earn then the mega rich?

    You mean you can't grasp what he said. I understood it immediately. He's right.

    Voting for a dem means higher taxes for working people, and lower taxes for Wall Street and Hollywood

    So you are saying you like to pay taxes and possibly never want them reduced?

    Where did he break the law, or are you just dishonestly implying that he did?

    A wonderful illustration above of how the LW demonizes classes, Hitler demonized races. Two sides of the same coin, both antithetical to our Constitution.

    Truly leftists have no clue how the economy works. It explains their TDS, they assume his success was from ripping people off, rather than from housing, entertaining and employing thousands of people.

    When people see Pete vs. Trump the choice will be easy. ANY of the top 6 Democrats would beat tRump.

    It was never intended nor was any other situation intended

    What was intended was for people rich or poor to keep what they earn

    The rich earned that wealth like anyone else and such inequity harms no one
