Insurgent Democrat presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg acknowledged at the Fox News town hall in Claremont, New Hampshire Sunday evening that he needs to do more to appeal to "black and brown" voters, even as he confidently parried a series of policy questions -- and, on several occasions, went directly after President Trump.
Buttigieg argued that minority voters are "skeptical of people who seem to come out of nowhere," after moderator Chris Wallace noted that he was polling at one-percent support among nonwhite primary voters according to a recent Fox News poll.
On fiscal policy, Buttigieg pushed for four distinct tax hikes when asked about the deficit, saying he favored a "fairer, which means higher" marginal income tax, a "reasonable" wealth tax "or something like that," a financial transactions tax, and closing "corporate tax loopholes."
"You don't blow a hole in the budget with an unnecessary and unaffordable tax cut for the very wealthiest," Buttigieg told Wallace, referring to President Trump's tax legislation.

For the Cinnamon and Porsche, sometimes deciding on which road to hoe was a difficult one.

Didn’t they say only 1% of African-Americans would vote for Butthead?

Mayor Pete and his husband, Chasten were walking down a street in South Bend and noticed a dog sitting under a tree, licking his balls.
"Oh, My!" commented an envious Mayor Pete. "I wish I could do that!"
"Go ahead" responded Chasten "He looks friendly."

The issue is that interest earned by endowments is now being interpreted as “unrelated income”.
And the tax rate on endowment income has increased 40%.

“Boy has this country fallen far when you have an unabashed Marxist homosexual running for President and legitimized.”
He is being legitimized (promoted) by the cabal. They hope the dumbed-down voters will bite. We will see.

The guy is aggressively stupid. No real world experience. Just poorly thought ideas that he probably heard someone else say. The guy is a big onafide idiot.
