Big surprise? Why would anyone vote for a Socialist economy with a candidate who promises to raise your taxes, make gov’t even bigger, and erode your personal freedom? I fear for my kids.

Because Wall St. and big business favors Dems, atleast the nominal Democrat Technocrats, which Biden ostensibly represents.

This is a sharp reversal from the past 100 years when Wall Street and Big Business favored Republicans.

Trump is the first sitting Republican President ever to lose the Wall Street fundraising race to a challenger.

The war against oil is already starting in WA State as the Whatcom County Council moves to slow down oil production at the Phillips 66 refinery. The Whatcom County refineries supply oil and jet fuel to seven Western States.

The war on oil is intended raise prices and once again make the US vulnerable to Middle East producers. Instead of limiting production, they intend to slow refining.

I’m in money market and bonds for now with a little bit of stocks.

Waiting for the plunge, and then buy again.

I’ve lost track of the number of times my sister and I have told each other “We fear for our kids.” But, out of the six of them, two are lunatic libs, two we aren’t sure of, and two are decided apolitical.

“make the US vulnerable to Middle East producers”

How else are you going to start wars in the Middle East and send in US troops who need new battle equipment that enriches the Military-Government Complex?

I moved enough $ to bonds over a few weeks in September and October, to be sure the money I might need for the first 10 years of retirement would be locked in. I am so glad I did that, and also expecting a plunge, if Biden is sworn in. He’ll detail some tax increases in his first speech, and fear will be the overriding factor for the markets for awhile (JMHO).

Why would anyone vote for a Socialist economy with a candidate who promises to raise your taxes, make gov’t even bigger, and erode your personal freedom?

And yet my taxes went up during Trump's term and the national deficit hit $1 trillion before the first COVID case reached American shores. I don't think most voters consider economic issues when both parties are spending federal money like drunken sailors.

I'm lucky. My Ph.D. is in Cliometrics and was lucky enough to know Milton Friedman...made sure my kids knew what he stood for and made them read Free to Choose. For whatever reason, both have remained conservative.

The Obama economy seems like it was barely gone...and now it’s back, probably forever.
