It mind boggles me when people say they don't care about more taxes. Why would you vote to have less of their own money?  Do you not trust yourself more than a politician to spend it?   :confused1:

Reminds me of that video at one of Hillary's campaign stops where she said, "We'll raise taxes on the middle class!," and the idiots in the audience cheered her, LOL.  Ill informed much?

I think that Americans have been desensitized to the words "raise taxes" by every lying, thieving corrupt politician out there, and, they are all liars, thieves and criminals. Does it really matter what they say? If they say that they won't raise taxes they are liars. The majority bow to corporate America and are on corporate payrolls in one manner or another. Kind of humorous to see people saying 'Hillary this' and 'Donald that' as the words 'Romney this...Obama that' and 'Bush this...Clinton that' still ring in our ears. Seriously? They all sell their souls to the highest bidder. I am amazed at anyone who openly commits to supporting either of these candidates and then spend time belittling anyone that would dare think of voting with an open mind...as much as an open mind can exist with propaganda spread by biased news media.

The big question is those that really believe that the president can get ALL or really ANY of this stuff done without the 535 members of congress.  They can run their mouth a lot but actually getting anything done within the gridlock is a fantasy.  While not a fan of Hillary, she is certainly less toxic for our relationships with the rest of the world.

How is she less toxic for our relationships with the rest of the world? Russia is the biggest superpower after the US (except maybe for China), and she is openly antagonistic to them. I wouldn't put it past her to start a war with Russia, which would definitely lead to WWIII, and I can guarantee the US would lose this time around.

They do need to raise taxes for all the wealthy getting the tax breaks. It's a problem with the people making the least money pay the most in taxes and millionaires and billionaires often don't pay anything.

No, I don't trust others to spend my hard earned money; but what are the choices?  Everyone does it.  Can you tell me one politician that won't?  I would gladly give them my vote!

I do like Hilary's temperament and personality better but my conscience will not allow me to vote for her. Trump it is.. I would much rather have a sexist president than a criminal that will raise my taxes and take my guns away ahahaha

That's not even remotely true. The top 1% pays nearly half of all taxes.

Sometimes I think a lot of you all hear what you want to hear, do you all want a President who pays NO taxes, and make you pay taxes...ha that real smart.  No way will I vote for someone who thinks it smart he got away without paying any taxes and he is a millionaire and the rest of us or middle class or lower, now you tell me who is smarter
