    Again, a president is not a dictator. Also, he did try. You are trying to make it out like he is being sneaky. I do not believe that to be the case more than it is the reality of dealing with congress and lobbyist.

    https://pitchbook.com/news/articles...-to-finally-address-carried-interest-loophole

    "As part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that dropped the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, Congress did put some limitations on tax breaks afforded to alternative investment managers. For instance, private equity firms and hedge funds must now hold an investment for at least three years before they qualify for the lower 20% capital gains rate. And companies now can deduct interest costs only up to 30% of EBITDA, until 2022. Under the old law there was no limit, which essentially allowed firms to heap huge amounts of debt on their investments and then benefit from what could be a significant tax write-off."

    SO you see, he did make some headway and it is better than it was.....

    You are not being objective. You painted this picture of Trump not honoring his word. I just proved he made changes. While not perfect, its not as if he did "nothing"...

    posted for information. apologies if that annoys you....

    my opinion is Biden will get ill and step down sooner than later as sharpton et al realize ol joe has little appetite for a more progressive agenda... he’s busy assembling the obama gang.

    not sure how long president harris will go along with that... Georgia will make that call I suspect. Ironic that a Biden presidency is more possible with a gop majority than if the dems control both house and senate...

    if the dems win the senate in jan look for a proud boy to dx joe....

    After reading the transcripts of the leaked tape @APPTiger posted, I'm more convinced then ever that this is the plan. He even admitted that he didn't even want to run.
