    Don't tease me.

    While all one political lean or another would not be healthy for any country, I believe a large number of people refer to such actions as treason. I've heard it yelled often enough in recent times from certain groups.

    Partially True.

    Billionaires made a fortune under Bush, under Obama...

    Under Trump billionaires made a fortune and the middle class household income grew by a very healthy rate, for the first time in decades.

    “Real median household income—the amount earned by those in the very middle—hit $65,084 (in 2019 dollars) for the 12 months ending in July. That’s the highest level ever and a gain of $4,144, or 6.8%, since Mr. Trump took office. By comparison, during 7½ years under President Obama—starting from the end of the recession in June 2009 through January 2017—the median household income rose by only about $1,000.”

    Lest we forget the Billionaires donate to Biden vs Trump by 10:1 margin, the Wall Street donate to Biden by 10:1 margin.

    Obama/Biden administration increased the deficit by more than ALL previous administrations combined.

    But it will be Biden's presidency, no one else's, as Biden claimed yesterday... he will spent trillions on schools, tens of trillions on socialized healthcare, $100 trillion on the green new scam....he will put the country under lockdown while spending all that money so that the revenue stream is completely cut off.

    That must solve the deficit problem once and for all LOL :D

    deficit under Obama/Biden came down to $300 billion.

    Trump's 2019 deficit was $1 trillion, even while the economy was in "such amazing shape".

    Do you people really fail to grasp that a man like Trump uses the top accounting firms money can buy. There will be no issues with his taxes. This is a political prosecution or should I say persecution. Now on the other hand, a man engaging in money laundering like Biden has something to worry about.

    2008 $459 billion
    2017 - $665 billion (Obama's budget)

    President George W. Bush: Total = $3.293 trillion, a 57% increase.
    President Barack Obama: Total = $6.781 trillion, a 58% increase.
    President Donald Trump: Total Actual plus Budgeted = $3.812 trillion, a 19% increase.

    And here some totally different data:
    https://dqydj.com/household-income-by-year/

    Year Median Household Income Inflation Adjusted (2020)
    2008 $50,000.00 $61,646.59
    2009 $50,000.00 $59,404.02
    2010 $49,578.00 $59,131.49
    2011 $49,100.00 $57,577.16
    2012 $50,000.00 $56,851.85
    2013 $50,306.00 $56,078.22
    2014 $53,568.00 $58,775.47
    2015 $53,600.00 $57,940.85
    2016 $56,025.00 $60,138.72
    2017 $58,849.00 $62,731.40
    2018 $60,810.00 $63,455.71
    2019 $63,030.00 $64,201.09
    2020 $68,400.00 $68,400.00

    The financial crisis started in 2008 and ended in 2013, so during Obama's years the median household income rose $60,138.72 - $56,078.22 = $4,060.5.

    Yes, I believe you that that a man/women like Trump uses the top accounting firms money can buy. One of them was Leona Helmsley, she was worth 8 billion dollars and she used the top accounting firms money can buy, so for sure she had no issues with her taxes, right?
