I’m a 1% income earner, Ivy League graduate business school. Moderate Democrat.

How many 1 percent IVY league Business grads are going to vote for Biden? Hes coming to tax you guys. Hes already said


You're more of an anomaly if you are voting left.


Most rich white people are NOT going to vote for Biden unless they are caught up in the "Hollywood hutzpuh"

Basically, from what you’ve delineated above, you should be a HARDCORE Democrat. And you’re probably not very high up in THAT class either.

So chill with the arrogance.


Because I work for my money, believe immigration should be done the legal way, I also believe that radical islamic terrorism is a real concern that we must look into, I also believe in my 2nd amendment rights. That's why I vote Republican.

Of my cohort to whom I speak about such things, we are about 80/20 Biden.

The data do not support your assertion. The breakdown in 2016 of earners above $250K was 48% to 46% for Trump. Nearly an even split.

I dont know. I just find it hard to believe. the rich WILL be taxed an extra 10-25 percent under Biden/Harris. And the most important thing generally (not saying you specifically) for rich people is to stay rich. LOL

It’s funny that you think we haven’t thought this through. Most of us look at financial models every day. I’m staring at a spreadsheet on my other screen right now!

At a certain point, some of us get fed up with the circus and realize that the well being of the nation is more important. I would vote for HW Bush in his prime over anyone in this race in a heartbeat. As it stands, Biden is much more Bush than Trump will ever be.

Rich people think like this? Not their bank account but the well being of the nation? Boy I wish My employers over the yeara thought like that. LOL

I can’t speak for anyone but myself. The circus isn’t worth the price.

I should add, the corporate income tax rate cut is one of the only positives to come out of the Trump Administration. From a straight modern economics standpoint, the rest of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act was incredibly ill timed and has left us in a position where our finances are not going to be able to weather the Covid storm as well as we should have been able to. Add that to a completely inept government response compared to every other western nation on earth and Trump has devastated the economy.

I’m a greedy capitalist pig at the end of the day. I want our nation to do well so business can thrive. Trump is not the guy to make that happen in my opinion.

Under no circumstances would I ever vote for Biden, but he would gain a lot of respect from me if he was to sit down with Tucker for an hour long one on one.

He would never do this, so in addition to the fact that he is incompetent, he’s also a coward.

Trump has a lot of things wrong with him, but at least he has the courage to talk to anybody.

I must have missed him on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow.
