30. Without the realities

Wed Jan 29, 2020, 10:31 AM

Jan 2020

Of how it's paid for -it's not a plan.

Example - Biden has point blank stated - he will work with the House and Senate to get a 15% minimum tax from large enterprise businesses. . . IE Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Verizon, Verizon Wireless, Wal-Mart, etc. etc.

Andy Yang - Pretty clear about the minimum income and the realities of automation.

Klobuchar - No - we are not under any circumstances taking hunters guns away. That's not a thing.

These are three things that could kill them with the left - yet they are putting it out there.

He needs to put it out there.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
