        The benefits don’t end there. If you really need me to keep explaining economics to you then just go take a course. If we taxed billionaires their fair share we could afford public services like child care or health care. Income inequality is the root of many of our problems in America. Including politics because now the wealthy have enough to literally buy votes as we saw with Elon Musk.

            I’ve aced all my macro and micro economics classes. If you think you know more than an accredited college the go teach yourself the basics because you’ve already proven you don’t know what you’re talking about.

                This is Econ 101. It doesn’t matter how many degrees you have if you don’t understand entry level concepts.

                You keep speaking on behalf of all voters like you think you are psychically connected. lol. Inflation (which was caused by the pandemic and price gouging) and immigration are what motivated the people that voted according to the polls. Your feelings don’t matter here. Voters understanding of the causes for those problems are primarily based on the ads that republicans ran.

                    You inserted yourself into a conversation I was having with someone else about how vocal Harris was about taxing billionaires to make a comment proving you don’t understand how taxes affect disposable income. Proving you don’t understand entry level economics.

                    She couldn’t run ads remotely similar because the brunt of the inflation was experienced under Biden’s term and the majority of Americans didn’t understand the causes so they just believe the ads.

                    Democrats lost because leftists didn’t vote, the economy had to recover from the pandemic under Biden, the repbublican propaganda was as strong as ever and the billionaires pulled strings to make sure they were not taxed according to the plan Harris campaigned on.
