50 Cent Endorses Trump Because Of Joe Bidens Tax Plan
If we know anything about 50 Cent, the man knows the fine art of making the news. Via an Instagram post, he shared his intentions to put his vote behind President Donald Trump in opposition to Joe Bidens proposed tax plan should he become president.
The artist born Curtis Jackson shared a screenshot of what regions in the United States would have the highest tax rate under Bidens tax plan, which aims its sights at those who earn over $400,000. New York City, 50s birthplace, would be just under California at 62 percent to which the Queens rapper and mogul isnt supporting one bit.
WHAT THE F*CK! (VOTE ForTRUMP) IM OUT, F*CK NEW YORK The KNICKS never win anyway. I dont care Trump doesnt like black people 62% are you out of ya f*cking mind, 50 wrote in a caption for the image.
Naturally, the MAGA-bots have been swarming throughout the post since it went up earlier on Monday, and the rappers name has been trending on Twitter for a better part of the evening. Bidens plans have been fodder for the Trump campaign although their attempts to frame the plan as a hike upon middle-class workers have been largely debunked by journalists far and wide.

(12,712 posts)I think of it as an addiction, like any other. The rush is not in what you can get or have, it becomes the hit of getting more and more. It is insatiable, also. They go on and on.
We have no means of intervention, though.

(47,733 posts)That is how I see it as well. For years, I tried to understand it and then I realized it truly is an addiction and no amount of money will ever be enough for people like this. The only cure seems to be death.

(12,463 posts)It's a scripted series about and ex-con lawyer who takes on cases of the falsely convicted. I'm a fan of The Innocence Project so I was happy to see this was coming. Now, not so much, if it's going to line his pockets.
