The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It's about what Trump will do to you and the country as a whole.

That is the crux. Trump did not do a lot of bad things in his first term except mishandle Covid. Which was a very big thing, granted, but he also made the stock market go up and reduce my taxes. I am not convinced that he is the antichrist. And I know for a fact, that Biden did not reduce my taxes, especially by not reinstating the SALT deduction. Which hurts his blue State constitutions the most. But he does not care about me. So now I know that Democrats don't care about me, and maybe Trump does and maybe he doesn't. But he cannot be worse than Biden. He is already promising another tax cut. Biden is promising nothing. All democrats want is more money out of my pocket, and I don't see why I should give it to them when already 2/3 of the federal budget is about welfare in one form or another. Where does it end???
I do not want to give one Red sent to able adults. The old and the young and the disabled, I understand. And even then, the old are manipulating the system by not spending enough of their own money that they have inherited or accumulated. It is unfair for the young and the middle-aged working people to support somebody old, who is not their family when they have millions of dollars, but can manipulate their income due to not having an income, but accumulated wealth.
IBI, student loan foregiveness, all handouts to able adults who do not deserve it. If you do not want to be burdened by student loans, do not take them. We all want nice things, but we have to earn them, and the same with you losers.
