If elected, Biden will take away our third vacation homes, our Bentleys & our Mar-a-Lago memberships

Not to mention our time shares in Fiji and our pieds-à-terre in Paris. And he will tax our incomes over $400,000. He will destroy those things that make the middle class middle class!!

The more I thought about it, the more ridiculous it is to me, that human beings care, and that some spend what for many people is a lifetime of earnings and more, on just 1 thing, and other humans are right there to over charge them, no problem, no matter what it is, if greed is involved, it's covered.

MALARKEY, indeed Joe, indeed!

I am just too practical and can't shake it.

Simple example:
2.5M USD for a new car, please explain the costs of parts that come even close to that as fair, ty.

Well sir, since it's custom, all the molds have to be made special, oh SPECIAL... ah yeah magically costs MORE... gotcha!

Even rich people can be quite stupid, making money is not smarts, it's mostly dumb luck, so I don't go around giving rich people a lot more credit, if you do, maybe rethink it a little? Let alone people born into $..... muhaha!

I find it my patriotic duty to pay as much as I an in taxes so that people who need relief, get it. That education gets funded. Roads get paved. Air, water, food is safe. and on down the line.

I would love to have enough money to help people in my country in a larger way than I can now.

Just deposit what troubles you in my off-shore account and I will bear the pain!

I'm philanthropic that way.

Please, small denomination un-marked bills.

NO CHECKS or CREDIT CARDS, dammit.
