The rednecks will hate whoever is the president of America if they are not Republican.
Unlike the left, or centre who have no problem with presidents like George Bush, Ronald Regan etc.
They love the crazy Qanon Trump who is going to save them from being abducted by cannibals and paedophiles...4Chan is the answer...

Asking the richest 1% of people to pay a fair percentage of tax as everyone else is communist?
People just want fair capitalism, not a version of bribed politicians and lobyists.

“A fair share of tax.”
Cool. To me me, fair means that things should apply equally to all.
So let’s say that regardless of what you earn, everybody pays 15%.
“No no no…that’s not fair because he earned 10x more than me last year.”
Ah, so then fair isn’t equal application of obligation. Fair is penalising the smart and talented and going easy on the less smart and less talented.
Fair is governments, who are notoriously bad at creating wealth and spending smartly, deciding when you have earned enough. And then taxing you more in order to appease the masses and get more votes.
What’s a fair amount of tax to pay if you earned $1,000,000.00 in 2021, Viskop?
It’s funny to me, particularly when someone that lives in the UK wants to talk about a fair rate of tax. There are entire suburbs claiming benefits, while less than 10% actually really need it. This wasn’t the case 30 years ago. So what changed? One would think that with more technology and better education benefit claims would decrease.
Here’s where we circle back around to politicians and what is “fair”.
…because fair certainly isn’t the hardworking and smart people paying for healthy and fit yet lazy bastards to stay fed.
When it’s claimed that one is supposed to pay 55% in taxes…you’ll never hear where the money is supposed to go or how badly it has been spent in the past. All you’ll hear are emotional statements meant to stir the masses.
When last did you hear the US government tell their people how much national debt is and what that equates to per person?
How much do you think that number is per person, VisKop?
1) $50
2) $500
3) $5000
4) $50000
5) $91000
And would your assessment of whom should decide what a fair tax rate is vary depending on the answer above?

I would support conservative politicians who pushed a middle-class agenda, where everyone pays a fixed % of tax.
Conservatism is all about low taxes and a smaller government, I can support this if it is not hijacked by the rich - so that only they benefit from this policy (through corruption and bribes).
If everyone (including the rich) pays a fixed tax rate, then that would mean the % of tax would be lower for everyone.
Politicians should be pushing a middle-class agenda, which is growing the middle class and shrinking the lower classes as much as possible. Having more workers means fewer people who live on social welfare.
