Things Biden will not do. - fredtoast - 11-08-2020 1. He will not "take away your guns". He can't because Obama already did it, remember? There will be a lot of talk about gun regulation, probably dealing with the very narrow area of so called "assault rifles", but that stuff is just window dressing. People will still be allowed to own rifles much more powerful than the ones currently called "assault rifles". Hopefully we will address the true types of gun regulations that would actually help law enforcement like registration and licensing, But those laws don't take guns away from any legal gunowners. 2. He will not have "open borders". No democrat has ever been in favor of "open borders". That is just FoxNews rhetoric. Besides, since over half of illegal immigrants enter the country legally instead of sneaking across the border Trump's amazing wall was a silly way to address the immigration issues anyway, 3. He will not provide free health care to illegal immigrants. I doubt he will be able to push through any type of universal free health care simply because of the amount of money the health insurance industry produces, but if he does it will not include illegal immigrants. He might have raised his hand at a debate during the democratic primaries, but I don't see that as a promise he will carry oiut. 4. He will not destroy the economy with higher taxes. The economy is going to suffer anyway because of the lingering effects of the pandemic, but any increase in taxes on corporations or the wealthy will not crash the economy. 5. He will not "sell out to China". Dealing with China will probably be one of the biggest issues in his presidency. He may not stick with the tariff's Trump imposed because they destroyed a lot of American farmers while not producing any new trade deal with China or even lowering the trade deficit (which increased every year of the Trump administration). But he has spoken many times about how the UNiyed States has to take a stronger stance against China than was in place during the Obama administration. 6. He will not eliminate police as law enforcement. I assume he will address police reform, but almost no one believes when can get by without police as a form of law enforcement. RE: Things Biden will not do. - bfine32 - 11-08-2020 You left off "Get reelected". As to the rest: I agree it will be a fairly uneventful Presidency.

Let's hope. RE: Things Biden will not do. - fredtoast - 11-08-2020 Just edited OP to include not eliminating police. That is the one I hear most of the crying about on social media, but in truth only a very small minority ever wanted to do away wioth police completely. Almost everyone saw "Defund the police" as removing funding from the police in order to eliminate their role in other activities like dealing with mentally ill people, or to eliminate their access to military type equipment.

Biden was one of the few high profile Dems not entertaining the Defund the Police calls. Will he: End Fracking Raise taxes on folks that make less than $400K per year Reform Immigration RE: Things Biden will not do. - fredtoast - 11-08-2020 (11-08-2020, 04:20 PM)bfine32 Wrote: Biden was one of the few high profile Dems not entertaining the Defund the Police calls. 1. Fracking is the tough one. There is too much money being made from fracking for him to ban it. But I believe he will attempt to get the UNites States to understand that the more we invest and depend of fossil fuels that farther we will be behind the rest of the world when alternative energy is required. 2. he will not raise taxes on people making less than $400K. 3. He will reform immigration if the congress will let him. It won't be "open borders" or "full amnesty for every undocumented immigrant", but it will probably make US citizenship easier to obtain.

I’m good with citizenship easier, and even making it easier to come here legally. I understand that will hurt Republicans, but that’s the dream we promise and I’m happy for as many people to have a shot as is possible.

Pretty consistently Biden has said he will not "end" fracking but won't allow new or more fracking on federal ground. Same with oil exploration. RE: Things Biden will not do. - michaelsean - 11-08-2020 Any chance he will make it illegal for the Steelers and Ravens to draft Buckeyes? If he can do that I’ll put a sign in my yard til 2024. RE: Things Biden will not do. - Au165 - 11-09-2020 He will not appoint his family members to key roles inside the government. He will not abdicate his role in handling the pandemic in a play for political favor. He will not villainize the media in an attempt to undermine democracy. He will not spend an obscene amount of his time in office golfing or watching cable news.

Now, if he only ends a PART of the tax cuts (like say, on those making $400,000 or more), or enacts a tax cut of his own after ending Trump's tax cuts that's a different story. But, Biden has not said he will only end part of Trump's tax cut. Your article may try to tell us what Biden means (imagine that), but based on what Biden has said, he will end Trump's tax cuts which means he will be raising everyone's taxes.

Ok, I googled it and there are pics of him on a golf course. He seems more like a weird old dude who does league night bowling and hits on the high school girls working there.

His plan ends those tax cuts on the top bracket. So your personal income tax rate increases if you make more than $520k single or $620k married. Your capital gains rate increases if you make more than $1m. Your payroll taxes increase after $400k. Deduction changes will only occur on income after $400k. Estate tax will go up after $3.5m RE: Things Biden will not do. - GMDino - 11-09-2020 (11-09-2020, 10:40 AM)PhilHos Wrote: If Biden ends Trump tax cuts, he will be raising taxes on EVERYONE not just $400,000.

I shared what he said he will do. You can ignore that and what everyone else posted here. That's up to you. If we are going back to using exact words only no matter the context I'll need that in writing. RE: Things Biden will not do. - Truck_1_0_1_ - 11-09-2020 ... you guys pay 37% income tax or is that just $400,000+?

That's what we've apparently been doing since Trump became the Republican presidential candidate in 2016. I remember people like you getting all upset when people would explain what Trump MEANT. But, I forgot we hold Republicans to a different, higher standard than Democrats. |
