I can’t wait until the honeymoon is over. He will have an impossible task of trying to come though on his promises while raising taxes on the rich (whoever that is) and at the same time improving the economy. LOL

If he manages to do all this then even I will have to be surprised.

“He will have an impossible task of trying to come though on his promises while raising taxes on the rich (whoever that is) and at the same time improving the economy.”

The U.S. has about 300 million people at present. Let’s assume 140 million have potentially taxable incomes. About 50% of those folks don’t pay any taxes but they represent about 70 million of the potentially taxable wage earners. 5% of the wage earners are going to support all of The Messiah’s plans, 5% is a total of about 7 million wage-earners. Apparently, each of those people are going to pay about 100,000% of their taxes each year and smile while they do so.

Somehow, I don’t see this working.
