    Based on the White House’s proposal, Biden and Harris want the capital gains tax to be similar to the tax rate on wealthy Americans, leading to Americans making over $1 million being taxed up to 44.6% on capital gains.

      I’m not sure I trust the source is my point. I want to see something a little more mainstream

          It sounded anti-liberal at first but then he learned it was reasonable. The Olympics may be over, but the mental gymnastics have just begun.

          I thought it was interesting. As I said I’d like to see more on it. I get you like echo chambers but conservatives look for discussions

              Posting and questining claims made in an article to seek further information is bad?

              Instead of providing relevant information you’re crying that someone is trying to seek the truth.

                That is the issue with lemmy. There are so many trolls that don’t want to have a discussion.

                I pointed out some flaws in the article, but I think it is worthy of discussion.

                SFH are something I have a different set of rules on. I strongly believe those are for families.

                  Looks like Abraham decided he was in the wrong and deleted his comments, there’s hope for lemmy yet.

                    I run another forum that leans more conservative but it has liberals as well. We try to have discussions on topics.

                    I posted the same article in both places, and the difference in responses is astounding.

              I never said it was bullshit. I pointed out the flaws in the comment. Did you actually read my critique or did you just decide to spam a garbage response ?
