    LOL, he was fluffing the far left to keep them in line while insulting independents, the Supreme Court, every Republican and ignored the real problems he has with the economy and the border.

    Indeed he did. Trump and coherence have been strangers for a long time. That is why he talks in slogans .

    Jose Ibarra is going to be the Willie Horton of this campaign. The ads about Biden's failure are really effective

    Either that, or a classic example of "selective listening"

    The top 3 people hold more wealth than the bottom 50% of the nation and it is growing each year. They are expected to be at 60% in the next decade.

    You must think people don’t understand basic tax law when you use income knowing full well that people in that tax bracket do not have ordinary income. Hell, I’m no where near your 1% stats (so many multimillionaires on this form! Impressive!) and I receive over half of my salary in dividends and capital gains.

    But you know that — right? As a multimillionaire with over 6 million in assets, you should have figured that out by now.

    if a group makes 24% of the income but pays almost 50% of the income tax, how can anyone claim they aren't paying "their fair share". fair share could be 24% or it could be 1%-both can be defended

    Both are pretty low class but standing there behind the president's back ripping up the speech takes the Cake

    Gop has set such a low bar for biden claiming he can’t walk, talk, forgets where he is and has dementia that he just has to speak like a normal human and he exceeds expectations.

    he did well tonight and eveyone here knows im with trump. Be careful setting such low expectations for future debates, making it easier for him to look good

    do the Biden cheerleaders think this speech helped him with independents and never Trump Republicans?

    Because income and income tax are not the only metrics. If they were you would have a point.

    But they are not — so you do not.

    so tell me how anyone can-with a straight face, claim that a group that makes 24% of the income and pays almost half the income tax, all the death tax etc, aren't paying enough

    no, you made an error, it was obvious to see and you can't get away from that failure

    Absolutely….althought not all independents are centrists. Some are farther right than trump and farther left than AOC.
