I find it hard to believe that a 70% marginal tax rate will come about with a Dem Congress. Most Senators and House Reps are multi-millionaires. They are not going to tax themselves at that rate. Look at what Trump is doing: He has the Fed buying stocks, corporate bonds, you name it, to prop the market into the election. I suppose that's Ok because we profit from that. Who knows where the limit of deficit spending lies? I doubt it can go on ad infinitum.

Adam Schiff Knew About 'Russian Bounty' Intel Months Ago, Did Nothing by Tyler Durden Thu, 07/02/2020 - 12:35 Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) was briefed on unverified intelligence that Russia was offering the Taliban to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan - yet did nothing with that information, according to The Federalist. Schiff, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, was a key player in the attempt to remove Trump from office - first claiming he had evidence of collusion with Russia, before pivoting to the Ukraine saga where he spearheaded the House's impeachment of Trump over his request that Ukraine's new president investigate Joe and Hunter Biden over allegations of corruption. And yet, somehow Schiff failed to weaponize the 'Taliban bounty' story for months after his staff was briefed on the rumor during a February congressional delegation (CODEL) trip to Afghanistan. The Federalist points out Schiff's hypocrisy: Schiff’s recent complaints that Trump took no action against Russia in response to rumors of Russian bounties are curious given that Schiff himself took no action after his top staff were briefed by intelligence officials. As chairman of the intelligence committee, Schiff had the authority to immediately brief the full committee and convene hearings on the matter. Schiff, however, did nothing. He did not brief his committee on the matter, nor did he brief the gang of 8, which consists of top congressional leadership in both chambers. Schiff is demanding that the Trump administration brief all of Congress about the unverified allegations, yet he himself did not ask for a briefing of the Intelligence Committee following the February briefing of his own staff. Schiff spokesman Patrick Boland failed to respond to a Federalist request for comment on the congressman's inaction for months, or why travel records from the Afghanistan trip had yet to be disclosed in the Congressional record "as required by law." Meanwhile, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said in a Saturday statement that he had "confirmed that neither the President nor the Vice President were ever briefed on any intelligence alleged by the New York Times in its reporting." And in a Saturday night Tweet in response to establishment tool Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Trump wrote "Intel just reported to me that they did not find this info credible, and therefore did not report it to me or VP." So why is the New York Times continuing to promote this unverified intelligence - going so far as to exploit the dead - when even Adam Schiff wouldn't touch it?

Amazing isn't it? So many are blind. Bush Sr. has stated on national television (seen 2-3x last 30yrs) he's for New World Order..Clinton's, Bush 43, Obama all put in (by Big Banks) White House, supported globalist agenda. Believe Trump has been trying to prevent,. At same time dealing 90% (globalists) planet against....What's that word again? POWER! This says it best.... Make no mistake. "This entire Covid 19 Crash was orchestrated to achieve deliberate goals the economy based on fossil fuels, and to rebuild it in their vision of The New Green Socialist World Order. This group of billionaires and academics have been planning on this because they believe the bogus forecast of climate change and reject any democratic process , decide to deliberately destroy the economy, then to rebuild it in what They have the audacity to start marketing as Great Reset" Who out there prefers FREEDOM? 8.3 million guns have been sold in the United States since March ... Now, you tell me ... are these new Trump voters (Law and order) - or Joe Biden voters (mob rules)? Don't believe the laughable Fake polls from Fake News.
