So you want everyone's retirement like 401K's, and IRA's to be taxed EVEN MORE? The consumer pays ALL TAXES as they are passed through by corporations, whether they be on Wall Street or Main Street.

My thought? Hillary lost because she was absolutely that bad. Hillary lost because she felt entitled to the office of the President of the United States and came across that way. Hillary lost because she ignored her base in favor special interests. Hillary lost because she is that bad, so bad that a hack like Trump beat her.

If you want to answer my question, great. I won't address questions from those who avoid the one I asked first.

So many like here on the forum voted for Trump but for no other reason then to keep her out of office.
Lesser of two evils which is about stupid but whatever.

It was pretty stupid that we were stuck with the choice of stupid or stupid where the two parties were concerned.

Agreed which is why I wanted to see Bernie in office. I know many didn't want him to win but what we have now and what we've had in the past isn't working as I've stated before. Time to move into another direction I don't think Bernie or Hillary will run again. Be interesting to see who will.


Even more so now that there's a reality TV star for president. I feel that next election we'll see more TV/movie stars running.

I didn't vote for Trump either. The argument of lesser of 2 evils isn't wrong or stupid. Stupid is voting party line no matter how bad the candidate is. Hillary was that bad and so was Trump. It was a choice of Prostate cancer or testicular cancer.
I did a write in.

IMO, it's like giving up when one votes for the lesser evil I can't get behind that personally. I get that said person didn't like whoever but voting for the other to keep them out? I can't wrap my mind around that.
