Thank you Charles! Since MAGA lives in an alternate reality, I don't expect them to know anything about #DerPumpkinFührer's policies, let alone Kamala's. As a member of the sandwich generation, I can't wait to see a bunch of this implemented. The way we pay for a big chunk of it is through #11, but not as *income* tax. Many of your readers may be unaware that few centimillionaires and billionaires pay much in income tax because they don't have the same kind of income as ordinary Americans. They can borrow money against other money and assets at very favorable rates and use it to invest in other things that incur much lower taxes (like capital gains). THEN, they often also get to write off certain interest payments on borrowed assets/liquidity. They're not usually doing anything illegal, just taking advantage of every trick in the system. But the system has to change! #11 needs to be a *wealth* tax that offsets their borrowing against non/low-taxed assets and investments.
Keep up the great work and let's together consign the entire MAGA cult and philosophy to the same dustbins as fascism, Stalinism, theocratic totalitarianism, and Nazism.
Thanks for the encouragement. I look forward to resuming a more normal life after this is over. The expectation is that when the Orange Puffalo goes to prison, his minions will stage an uprising. I think the opposite. I think it will be like letting the air out of a balloon.
The tiktok alone is heartbreaking and should be the end of it. Everybody knows this is how he does business, but large swath of folks don't seem to care. I will never understand how this race can be this close.
Thanks. I’m not a big social media user, including TikTok, so I rely on others to pick stuff out. I wish I could remember where I saw this because I found it pretty moving and jarring. I’m surprised, frankly, that Twitter hasn’t blocked it.
15a). Real men that are fathers with daughters, vote as if your daughters’ future depends on it, because it does.
Love every word of this!

Charles, you NAILED it!!! Agree with every letter, syllable, word and sentence. Brilliant. I'm sharing you widely 🩵
Well, thank you! I’m humbled.
Although I despise Trump, I can think of two excellent reasons as to why some black men are dissuaded from voting for Kamala https://davidgottfried.substack.com/p/why-some-black-men-dont-like-kamala
