The big risk for the Dems is not that they lose the Presidential election - that's almost a given - but that they lose the House and Trump initiates his second tax cut in term 2. I think there is a very good chance of that happening. A major big time backlash is coming.

How do you account for the fact that Reagan, Bush I and II, along with Trump have won Presidential elections given the fact that there are a lot more laborers than capitalists and entrepreneurs?

PS I was such a big proponent of the original NAFTA that if Bill Clinton didn't start some unnecessary wars, he would have been my economic hero.

You are living in la la fantasy land, Dan, if you think I am going to have to deal with my costs of trading going up. Wait till J6P gets wind of his 401K and mutual fund expenses going up if the Dem plan to tax Wall Street trades gets approved! You will see such a massive turn to the Republican party and Donald Trump that it will blow your mind. Dems will lose Wisconsin, Michigan, PA and potentially 48 states if that becomes part of the Dem platform. Of course, all the lunatic extreme left wingers can't see that possibility; they think the common worker in the USA will support them. They are so wrong. The common worker invested in a retirement plan will flip out big time! Do you honestly think Joe6P wants to pay for a millennials college education? Elizabeth Warren should have her head examined! Her plan is political suicide. Every Republican has to be foaming at the mouth and praying that this Dem fantasy plan goes through! You know nothing about the make up of this country if you think taxing Wall Street trades via the Sander's/Warren plan gets approved as part of the Dem agenda.
I will pull the lever for Trump with great passion and enthusiasm if that comes to pass. I am a progressive capitalist, not a progressive socialist.
