This. I'm not voting for either one of these jackasses. "My party" keeps telling me you gotta vote for Trump because Hillary will win and she's horrible. Well, I say fuck that. I'm not abandoning my principles and voting for that clown. He's just as bad. Maybe worse.
@ OP
This is why we need to strip away ALL of the tax code and just institute a flat tax. 10%-15% for all individuals and businesses, with maybe a 5% rate on those who make $20K-$25K or less. There will be no exceptions or credits. You can't do like Hollywood and some large businesses do and claim bogus loses just so you pay little to no tax. People keep saying to tax the wealthy more, but they're completely oblivious to how this all works. You have the Dems, and some Reps, saying this, knowing full well they are in charge of the tax code and will find ways to get them and their buddies to pay very little in taxes, no matter how high the rate is. There's a reason they make the bar so low for the "wealthy," those people at the bottom and middle have very little sway in government and can't afford high priced lawyers/accountants to navigate the code, so they have to pay that high tax. It really just ends up hurting those on the higher end of the middle class.
