Steve Levy writes about how, according to polls, Trump is losing support in the suburbs, and why they should be wary of voting Democrat
DNC platform should wake up Trump-wary suburbanites – here are 7 reasons why
(poll stuff)
But, first, let’s dissect why suburban women are rejecting a second Trump term. It’s not his policies; it’s his demeanor. (snip)
1. Taxes – Get ready to pay more
Not much attention is being given to Biden‘s efforts to restore taxes to the Obama administration levels. But why would any of us want to revert to a time when the GDP was a mere 1.6%, wages were stagnant. and income inequality was actually on the rise?
It was the Trump tax cuts and deregulation that accelerated unemployment down to record low levels. These policies boosted confidence within the corporate world, leading to enormous investment (and the market soaring) and wages piercing the 3% level for the first time in over a decade.
Demeanor and stuff is nice, but, it comes down to policies. Seriously, all politicians are, well, politicians. So many are power hungry, and, really, would you really trust any of them personally? Whose policies are better, Trump’s or Biden’s? Which one is going to do more for empowering citizens, keeping the government off their backs and “out of their bedrooms”, and power the economy?
Then we have
- 2. Doubling capital gains taxes (think this can’t hit the middle class? You could have a million dollars in sales in your business, but your actual take home will be less, and you’ll be hit)
- 3. Estate taxes (yes, middle class folks pass this on to their kids)
- 4. Raising business taxes (will hit middle class small businesses, and cause job loss in bigger companies, which will hurt the middle and lower classes)
- 5. Ending the Business Income deduction (small businesses will see their taxes go way up)
Then
6. Overruling Local Zoning
Suburbanites need to know that Biden will reinstate an Obama decree that gives far more powers to the federal government to supersede local zoning powers in the name of social justice.
It’s a clear violation of the 10th Amendment, and a typical over-reach of Modern Socialists who want that authoritarian control.
7. Violent Crimes Coming Your Way
Once the coronavirus subsides, suburbanites commuting each morning to their city offices or seeking an evening of culture in the urban center will now potentially have to contend with violent crime sprees. And while Biden claims he’s against defunding police out of one side of his mouth, he thoroughly embraces the notion of “redirecting†funds away from the police. Translation: more social workers, fewer cops.
Funny thing is, Democrats are good with this as long it is Over There, in That Neighborhood. The minute it happens in their own they complain.
And here’s Handsy Joe
Character is on the ballot. Compassion is on the ballot. Decency, science, democracy.

What’s on the ballot is people who pretend to act nice while trying to control your life and take your money vs Trump, who wants you to keep more of the money your worked for while removing government impediments on your life and business.
Democracy? We aren’t one. The minority has rights in our Republic, it is not mob rule. We have laws to protect the minority. Look at California: it’s running as a democracy. Mob rule. One party rule, which can slam down whatever they want. And, if they happen to lose at the ballot box, they sue to over-ride to get their way.
I don’t see why anyone should ever pay taxes again. The federal government just created the equivalent of an entire federal budget out of thin air, proving it’s possible. And neither political party predicted economic doom or fought to hold the line or pay for it with cuts in other areas. The evidence is right in front of us. Paying taxes is a 19th century anachronism that isn’t needed. The federal government can simply create as much money as it wants out of thin air. At this point, even talking about anyone paying higher taxes is just another way of saying you want to punish a group of people.
Steve Levy is a right-wing Republican. Why should we listen to him?
And of course he told the de rigueur connie lie, that tRump somehow accelerated the economy. He absolutely did not. tRump was the lucky recipient of timing. As was said many times, let’s hope the feckless tRump doesn’t ruin the economy. It was too much to hope for. America is paying the price for taking a chance on this reckless, irresponsible, profligate, ignorant, amoral, lazy game show host and his cast of sycophants and toadies.
Of course the most important is “Eeek!, City Savages are comin’ to get your women!” This is straight out of the tRump campaign.
Don’t let Grabbin’ Donnie forget that all this happened under his watch.
Are you better off than four years ago?
tRump2020: “Only Grabbin’ Donnie Can Fix the Mess He Made!” He really has to thread the needle, doesn’t he? Don was the ONLY one who could fix the mess the Black man created! Now we have -30% GDP growth, hardly the 3, 4 5 even 6% growth The Don promised. Over 10% unemployment. Rioting in the streets. The greatest debt in US history.
Donnie now claims only He can grow the economy he wrecked. Only He can quell the riots. If only He could bring the dead back… What’s your plan, Don? Tax cuts for the rich, federales marching through the streets all propped up by trillions more in deficit spending (BTW that’s how President Reagan stimulated the economy in the 80s)?
LOL, now GFY

Why not? He certainly sees things more clearly than you.

timing? If you mean he was elected to undo the mess Zippy made, I heartily agree.
reckless, irresponsible, profligate, ignorant, amoral, lazy
Sounds more like Zippy with a touch of Willie.
Of course the most important is “Eeek!, City Savages are comin’ to get your women!†This is straight out of the tRump campaign.
Then why are so many people leaving all those Demo paradises?
Don’t let Grabbin’ Donnie forget that all this happened under his watch.

Anything is better than 4 more years of the Zippy agenda.

Thank the Demos for all that. they didn’t have anything left, so they burned the cities and tried to crash the economy.
Donnie now claims only He can grow the economy he wrecked. Only He can quell the riots. If only He could bring the dead back… What’s your plan, Don? Tax cuts for the rich, federales marching through the streets all propped up by trillions more in deficit spending (BTW that’s how President Reagan stimulated the economy in the 80s)?
And we all know what happens when the taxes go up.
The economy goes down, but the politicians have all that money to waste. And nobody did more deficit spend than Zippy.
And stick you LOL up your pudendum.
Want to know why Jeffery is rehashing the same old drivel?
Trump’s approval went up during the Democrat convention .
Then there was Gropin’ Joe’s acceptance, “There’s never been anything we’ve been able to accomplish when we’ve done it togetherâ€.
And finally, for the whole borefest, the never talked about ideas. Partly because they’re as unAmerican as Hell, partly because Trump hate is all they have.
.
First of all Elwood you fuking moron, Trump grew the economy at a very good rate UNTIL Blue City and State Democommies crashed it by closing down millions of businesses and putting millions of Americans out of work. Or can’t your pea brain remember back to just last December where all the employment numbers had reached new highs?
Secondly, when Trump made an EO to stop travel to and from Red Commie China all you American commies called him bigot and xenophobe I believe. Then your moron Nazi Pelousy and your commies deBlastio had Chinese New Year parties in the street so as to spread the virus as quickly as they could. They did spend the first two months of the year completely ignoring the Commie Plague whilst running through the halls of Congress waiving PHONY impeachment papers. Idiots.
Now I see your Presidential pick, the Senile, drooling neocommie Sniffy Biden has decided he’s gonna fix America!!!!! After 47 years on the government teat, cashing his paychecks, collecting his bribes and setting up his crooked son to become a billionaire he has finally decided to fix the shit he has spent 47 years breaking. What was he doing for the last 47 years? I know, creating the policies, taxes and regulations that created the mess the cities of America are in.
This morning a friend stopped by and he mentioned he may still vote Democrat because he HATES Trump. I asked him how many Republicans, Conservatives or Christians were out rioting, looting and burning down cities. He looked at me with the same expression Elwood must wear all the time. I then asked : still voting for Biden? After a but, but I pointed out it’s not Trump supporters burning cities, flaggs, Bibles, toppling historic statues, changing historic names and otherwise trying to erase America. It’s Biden supporters because THEY HATE AMERICA!
Trump 2020 Then let’s clean house! We don’t need no stinkin’ anti Americans livin’ here.

We’re serious in asking – what do Trump supporters see in him that warrants their support?
Man/child,
Trump supporters are the majority of the country. They are the earners and makers, not the takers like you. Trump is one of the best presidents we have had, yet something is wrong with you in not seeing that. Obama was hands down the most awful so called leader this country has experienced and has caused substantial harm to us. Why don’t you seek professional help to determine why you keep coming here day after day showing your plainly obvious stupidity and not learning a thing.
davey duke,
You either don’t know why or you’re embarrassed to admit it.
Those are not really reasons you support him, are they? Even worse, little of what you typed is true.
Is a physician that gets wealthy from collecting Medicare and Medicaid payments a maker or a taker?
How about a millionaire beauty parlor operator who receives approx $1 million in reparations for Covid?
Is a retiree collecting Social Security and Medicare a maker or a taker?
He gave you reasons, but they weren’t the ones you wanted, so you reject them out of hand. Rather childish on your part,
Is a physician that gets wealthy from collecting Medicare and Medicaid payments a maker or a taker?
Does a physician do nothing but take money, like you? No, he helps people, cures their ills. By your definition, anyone who takes payment for goods and services provided is a taker.
You’re the taker, not them.
How about a millionaire beauty parlor operator who receives approx $1 million in reparations for Covid?
The government took away his livelihood to shut down the economy in the interests of perpetrating a fraud.. He is owed compensation by every rule in the book.
Is a retiree collecting Social Security and Medicare a maker or a taker?
he is retired. He was forced to have his paycheck raped by the government when that money could have been invested with twice the return he would get from the Feds.
He made for 50 years. The Feds promised him a (insufficient) payback to keep him from taking up arms, which is right of the people to alter or to abolish a government which is no more than a thief.
Man/ child,
Your comment does not make sense. Your distortion of life is getting in your way. Again, why do you come here? You just embarrass yourself.
Rimjob be lonely now that grandson can defend himself.
Lolgf
For openers, you can stand him.
You’re wrong. I cannot stand him. Maybe you can.
You can’t think of one practical reason that you support tRump?
To see if it makes your head explode when he doesn’t leave office until January 20, 2025?
The same can be asked of you and your candidate.
We asked Kye first (knowing the connies had no real reason other than the Cult of Personality).
Why is any candidate superior to Donald J. Trump, and Mr. Biden in particular?
Mr. Biden has spent his entire adult life in service to America, tRump can’t spare even one hour to put America first.
The Democratic Platform and Democrats in general comport with my desires and expectations. NuGOP policies are bad for America.
In general, Democratic ideals promote economic and social equality, i.e., American ideals, NuGOP’s do not.
The Democratic Party supports universal healthcare as a right, understands the threat from global warming, supports labor unions, Social Security, abortion rights, LBGT rights, worker safety regs, environmental regs, that all lives matter (just not white people), improved public education, improved child care, trust in scientists and medical experts…
Mr. Biden will surround himself with capable, experienced colleagues rather than his friends and family.
You guys know all this though.

No one is superior to Donald Trump. That’s why you hate him.

Gropin’ Joe now says he’ll do all the things he’s wanted to do all his life. That says he did not spend his entire adult life in service to America, he spent his entire adult life servicing America.
The Democratic Platform and Democrats in general comport with my desires and expectations. NuGOP policies are bad for America.
Which is why your ideas are wrong. That’s why you hate the Rs.
In general, Democratic ideals promote economic and social equality, i.e., American ideals, NuGOP’s do not.
If so, why have they had so little success, what with Congressional supermajorities and all? That’s why you hate the Rs.

Lie. The Demos do not support the concept that all lives matter (especially those of unborn children). The rest is a crock of Lefty lies that will never be implemented. That’s why you hate the Rs.
Mr. Biden will surround himself with capable, experienced colleagues rather than his friends and family.
You mean like Hunter and Dr Jill? Like the Deep State Dwarf? As for friends, he has none, that’s why he had to be appointed the nominee.
And because he’s an old white man (admit it, that just kills you).
You guys know all this though.
We know you’re full of it.
Trump spends his every waking hour putting America first. That’s why you hate him.
Kamala Harris and the Black Vote w Leo Terrell – Spicer&Co, 8.14.20

Just saw a DJT ad claiming tRump plans to put price controls on medicine prices. We all know that’s a lie, but are price controls a conservative principle?
Since Big Orange wasn’t busy in his first term why didn’t he address it then?
Too busy fighting off phony impeachments?
In any case, he’s already started, jerkoff, so you’re nowhere near as clever as you’d like to think you are.
President Trump is working toward REDUCING domestic drug prices, not putting price controls on a product with a million different cost factors. He’s a businessman like me and unlike you who understands one can put price controls on items like gas because Texaco is the same as Sunoco but a billion drugs all have different development prices therefore they cannot be “price controlled”. Working with drug companies and foreign drug subsidies to help Americans get better drug prices is not only conservative but also capitalistic and very American. Removing the costs of burdening Red Tape from the Deep State would also fall into those three categories.
BTW, realizing your question in comment #3 @ August 21, 2020 at 4:49 pm was a foolish set up, I declined to get into a battle over your nonsense. However, when you made the preposterous statement that: “In general, Democratic ideals promote economic and social equality, i.e., American ideals, NuGOP’s do not.” (August 21, 2020 at 7:27 pm) I feel compelled to reply to your moral and historical ignorance.
ANY political philosophy that promotes “economic and social equality” cannot promote Freedom and Justice. America was not based on those phony baloney French concepts. America is based on equality “under the law” not in economic or social outcome which can only be attained by FORCE against those who succeed economically or socially. America is NOT built on TAKING from one to give to another. It’s based on individualism and Freedom to succeed and the Freedom to attain the highest point of social status regardless whether or not your neighbor does. What you want is communism.
Elwood, do you actually LOVE America? Do you understand and respect what we went through to create this Great Republic (not democracy)? You seem to think we as a nation suck because we are not perfect. Please list those nations which are.
And just to prove to us you Love America type “I love America with all it’s faults and all it’s failures”. All you see is those faults and failures and not the beauty that is American Liberty.
BTW, if you see Biden’s 47 year stint as a politician where he produced noting of value as “service to America” then you as well as he ARE the problem. If he was any good our cities wouldn’t be on fire and the Democrats wouldn’t be burning them down. You do realize they are all Democrat supporters burning and rioting, don’t you?
I am enjoying the steady increase of panic in your comments the closer we get to election. Afraid your “mail-in” fraud and army of lawyers won’t be able to pull off the fraud of the century?
Trump 2020 Because HE LOVES AMERICA. (Does that answer why we love the guy?)
