Ex-president makes direct appeal to service workers in swing state Nevada, which polls suggest is leaning his way
We can scoff, but these are the kind of things that matter to most people. Its the 11th hour, and Biden needs to be doing more than hardball advertisements.
Are you okay with tipped employees being singled out to basically pay no income tax?
Tipped federal minimum wage is $2.13/hr.
No I'm not. I'm worried Trump is gonna fleece enough people with these promises. Everyone needs to pay tax so we have nice shit. That's how we keep the good times rolling.
I understand how taxes work I’m just trying to figure out what point you’re making.
The point is that Biden needs up his game on making empty promises to keep up with Trump. It’s election year, people want to eat shit and forget everything in January.
Everyone needs to pay tax so we have nice shit.
Like bombs, drones, missiles, and genocides?
Yeah you're right. Let's not pay taxes at all. Oh wait, we did that. It didn't work. Its called the Kansas Experiment.
How the government decides to spend taxes and the act of paying taxes itself are two exclusive things. If you dont like how your taxes are being spent. Vote in better people.
Nobody cares about local elections and that's why our society seems to be crafted out of footguns.
This country operated without an income tax for 135 years and you're citing a 5 year period in a single state? Talk about cherry picking.
Taxes are necessary, fine. Cheerleading them is stupid. You're not a hero for paying taxes, you're doing the bare minimum to stay out of jail. And considering how they're spent, you're kind of a villain.
If you dont like how your taxes are being spent. Vote in better people.
Oh, it's my fault the feds reguarly use my money to kill people, ok. Guess I should have voted harder.
Hey, if this is one single person's responsibility, why haven't you fixed it?
Nobody cares about local elections
My local taxes are rarely spent on bombs, drones, missiles, or genocides.
Because that 5 year period was a playground for conservative tax ideas. They were able to create their perfect tax haven, and it drug the city down in only five years. Dont talk to me about cherry picking when you only mention income tax. There are many more sources of tax payer money then just income tax.
You're right about the local taxes, those tend to get used on drugs, hotel rooms, and to take advantage of sex workers. The remedy is the same, vote in better people, not the same motherfuckers year over year. That's our duty to democracy and to the republic. Alright, now respond to each of these sentences separatly, too.
Ding dong tells people the world is crumbling and then makes fake promises to change it. He pretends to care about people who are struggling and they want so badly to believe it.
Absolutely, and 8 years on there's still droves of unengaged ignorant people who will hear this. Not understand it was hollow empty populism that he likely doesn't even remember he said yesterday. But could still win him votes.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
At a campaign rally Sunday in sweltering hot Las Vegas, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told the crowd he would seek to end taxation of income from tips, a direct appeal to service workers in the swing state of Nevada, which polls suggest is leaning his way ahead of the 5 November election.
Trump has previously pledged to make permanent the Republican-passed individual tax cuts that he signed into law in 2017 but which expire at the end of 2025.
This is Trump’s second rally since he was found guilty on 30 May of falsifying documents to cover up a payment to an adult film actor on the eve of the 2016 election.
Campaign organizers prepared for the sweltering weather with water bottles, misting fans and additional emergency medical services on site.
During a Trump rally in Arizona on Thursday, the Phoenix police department said 11 people were transported to hospitals, treated and released for heat exhaustion.
Sunday’s rally comes on the heels of a three-day fundraising push by Trump that included stops in San Francisco and Beverly Hills, where he raised millions of dollars from technology executives and other donors.

I’m sure it could be “surface of the sun” hot in Las Vegas and they still wouldn’t mention human caused climate change.
