Or do you think these days with the pandemic numbers breaking records pretty much on a daily basis Trump's leadership from the golf course is to be admired...?
The simple fact of it is Trump would have won this election by a landslide had he not f'ed up the pandemic response. Now that is a FACT.
And to answer your question - I think Hilary should have kept her silly mouth shut. She had her chance and she blew it.
And now if trump loses his bid to try to overturn the elections in the supreme court would you agree that HE should go away and keep his trap shut?
Ill ask again - in THIS supreme court would you accept their decision if it one that states the election was fair? Or would you continue on with conspiracy theories about how the election were fraudulent? would you accept Biden as the rightfully elected POTUS? |

I expect Biden will be decent enough. The sky is hardly going to turn red and start bleeding. You don't like the ideology, and that is fine, but I doubt it will actually effect your life much day to day. Taxes in the US are pretty sky high as it is (and if I am correct set on a state level anyway) I doubt they will increase much and that is the main thing that impacts individuals days to day. | you're completely wrong about taxes. They aren't sky high at the moment, and state taxes are COMPLETELY different than federal income tax. Some states have no state income tax. Some states have a lot. Biden will increases taxes on the rich, while not renewing the very good tax cuts that trump set up. So people WILL be paying more. You can doubt it all you want, but majority of tax payers saw a savings under Trump, and that savings will now go away. You clearly don't pay taxes in the US if you don't know this. YOu need to learn more about biden, if you honestly believe his policies wouldn't affect your life much day to day. Again, JUST his covid response will drastically affect your day to day life, almost right away. Are you going to pretend that's not true? 6 week lock down will just be fine and dandy, while majority of experts say lock downs already don't work? |

Its the state level tax that seems to have the largest impact on day to day lives for a lot of people. You guys seem to have more taxes than we do in the UK (I am far from an expert in it mind you) but from what I know there are sales taxes, property taxes, income tax all set at a state level then health insurance on top of that if you want to get it. Again no expert but the only tax that seems to be country wide is the federal income tax. I absolutely stand to be corrected however if I have that wrong.
And none of that is to take away from the pretty dam high taxes we have here in the UK - it just seems to vary so much from state to state in the US how much tax overall you pay hence my point about it seeming to matter more which state you are based in than which political party is in the White House |

I would like to point out that 100% of the high taxed states are Liberal/Democrat run states. Then you have states like mine. Zero income tax, one of the lowest property taxes in the nation, flat $101 corporate tax, one of the highest employment rates, one of the lowest crime rates, highest % of gun ownership, one of the highest percent of landowners etc... I live in the most conservative state in the nation. Just pointing out some facts is all.Just something to ponder on. |

State taxes and polices have far more impact on day to day lives in the US than any president would. You may feel the effect of a change from Republican to Democrats on a presidential level but the overall effect will I expect be minimal. Gun control in the US will never be a thing, enforced health cover maybe, but the major difference a president seems to have comes in foreign policy. Hence all the interest from overseas. That maybe over simplifying it to a degree, but 4 or even 8 years is a very short time for any real change to happen.
I always had my eyes on Texas if I moved to the US for exactly the same sort of reasons that I am sure you live in the state that you live in. As well as the better weather and great sports facilities. |
| yankee | 11-27-2020 07:12 PM | Re: Biden won the presidnecy. I have a lot to say..... but I truly dont care to waste the time here on this thread or even forum.
BUT..... These two presidents represent two very different Americas. One is quite socialist or even communist. The other, at least to 49% of Americans represents what America once was, free.
And.... based on what is going on in Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania plus the Powell Case(attacking Republicans by the way, YAY!), it seems America will have another 4 more years of Trump if you dont listen to main stream media/Big tech/social media. Time will tell :) |

You have your head shoved so far up the DNC's ass, I"m surprised you can breath. Keep peddling all the anti trump media driven nonsense tho. The simple fact is, trump received more votes than any president, EVER. If the a hole vaccine company came made their announcement just a week earlier, Trump would have won easily even with all the fraud. Hell, if the media was actually honest about ANYTHING concerning Biden, Trump would have EASILY won. But no, they lied day after day. They hid information. They attacked Trump, and they went easy on Biden. And STILL Trump received the highest EVER percentages of black and hispanic votes of any republican, while you assholes called him and us all racists.
Trump did more than people like you will ever give him credit for, while attacking him about being on gulf courses, which is where HE CONDUCTS HIS BUSINESS, as he always had. Honestly, your hate for him is just vile. It seeps from every word you post. You peddle the same nasty talking points the media has been peddling for 4 years. The media bias against him was unprecedented! And then the media silence on Joe following that. Even with all that hate spewed about him, he still managed to get more votes than Obama, while your lord and savoiur biden, the man that barely left his basement, and had one fauxpaux after another, broke every record on the books. And you're STILL going to claim he won fair and square. I'm not going to answer your last question, because you've ignored the vast majority of the points I made. This is a pointless argument, because you people keep picking and choosing what you respond to. It's the typical liberal debate tactic I've experienced for the last 5 years. It's HILARIOUS tho that you want an answer from me, while your entire party STILL says the Meuller report decision was a fraud, and Trump colluded with Russia. You're begging me to answer you, while my answer couldn't matter any less to you. I'm not going to. I will wait and see how things play out, because people like you think the lower courts saying there is no case, might as well be gospel. It's sad really. If your side was allowed to whine for 4 YEARS, you can sit down and shut up, while we whine for 4 weeks. |

A lot of it comes down to which state your comparing against and and what the assumed income of the person paying tax is, as well as how the income is derived.

I do wonder if it takes into account that in the UK (and a lot of other countries in the EU) health insurance is taken as part of our income tax whereas in the US its something that is paid on a voluntary basis.
From the chart it looks like were the US really wins out is the low taxes on goods and services V the UK in which we have quite high VAT levels.
Makes for a great side by side comparison though. |

I expect there will be a lot of states safer than some of the countries in Europe itself. It will be a little different when you compare it the EU though which offers more of a like for like comparison with the similar GDP and population levels. There are after all 300 million people that are in Europe but not in the EU most of which are from the countries that are statistically a lot unsafe than those within the EU and really skew the numbers. So when comparing I would always do US v EU not US V Europe.
How does one judge 'safe' though? I have no idea really what it would involve! |

Yep doing it on a state level makes a lot more sense really than a national level given how large the country is.
I expect there will be a lot of states safer than some of the countries in Europe itself. It will be a little different when you compare it the EU though which offers more of a like for like comparison with the similar GDP and population levels.

For some people feeling safe is living in Texas with relaxed gun laws but there are still shootings, other types of being safe is living in Japan where there is only a handful of gun deaths in the entire country per year.
I rather feel safe out in the ocean on a 32-foot sailboat. Too bad I cant carry a gun on international waters. I can still carry a harpoon gun, but I dont think a pirate with a AK will be scared against a harpoon gun for fishing. | | All times are GMT -5. The time now is 05:46 PM. | |
