Shutting every complaint down with ‘racist’, ‘fascist’, ‘nazi’ etc. is why far right parties are rising. It is time to stop acting like middle schoolers and allow people to voice concerns and have debate, lest they vote far right as the only alternative. Nobody wants that.
There is no need for a separate sound card now, it is built in.
Unless you live in one of the handful of close states, your vote red or blue makes no difference to the electoral college. Why give either of these your symbolic popular vote.
No 3rd party will win, but a rising 3rd party is competition that may at least raise an issue’s prominence or worry the main parties enough to pull their finger out and run better candidates.
Promote higher wages for the middle class, yes. The bottom half pay nothing anyway. You’d have to hugely increase minimum wage to make a tax difference.
Property taxes are based on home values which have doubled over the last ten years, this is just relief from that. People are being priced out of their homes right now. If there was a state income tax instead revenue would have fallen due to wages not keeping up with inflation.
I’d like to see median net income over mortgage + property tax. The numbers don’t mean much when property taxes are more than the mortgage but there is no state income tax.
