    Wall Street Journal did a nice write up walking the average Joe (Biden) through this issue. A good read.

    Leftists hate anything that’s not based on emotional and hysterical rhetoric.

    I think it is more accurate to state leftists hate everything

    It sucks to see him get pulled further left by yet another absurd talking point. Like the article mentioned, if you have a grievance with the code itself, then make the case for changing it. Tax illiteracy is not a good look.

    Trump could have pulled a lot of libs in if he released his taxes during the campaign and said look how screwed up this system is. I’m a “billionaire “ and I pay no federal taxes. As someone who has benefited from this screwed up system that people like Hillary Clinton created I’m uniquely qualified to fix it.

    That would not have gained him any libs. Anything he does or says will be villainized, regardless if its justified or not. And the Dem masses follow what the media says.

    Except his tax cut law further exasperated the problem.

    And before you shitdicks start talking about my use of the word problem. Yes it is an issue that needs to be fixed. I'm not saying to tax the shit out of Amazon. But having a minimum tax of like 10% would be good. With the R&D credits and prior year losses pushed out further. The result at the end of the day is the same, just better managing cash flows for the federal government.
