Xiden plans first tax hike since Clinton in 1993.

Usual stuff, capital gains. Corporate rates, income above$400,000.

BTW you may not know you pay Capital Gains on the sale of a house now. In the old days as long as you traded up you never paid capital gains. Then if you died in your home you estate paid no capital gains either with the basis brought up to today’s value.

Republicans supported that change.

A poor person has never given me a job.

Capital gains on the sale of a house are only for "gains" above a certain threshold. 250k for single, 500k for married filing jointly. I've had my house for 14 years now. I don't think it's appreciated 250k in value.

I seriously only give him 6 months....

So I was thinking?

Would a dead pool be too tacky?

Yeah.

But a gone, not in office, for any reason, would be ok?

Assuming he actually takes the oath of office-

February 1, 2022.

Are you defining "gone" as in no longer occupying a chair in the office, or do you include is mental faculties? If the latter, then I would like to choose a date before he declared his candidacy for POTUS.

i have a question along similar lines, if Biden had a fatal stroke Nov 2nd and their ticket won, would Camel Harris be sworn in as the president and get to pick a VP, or would the Trump win by default!

Keep in mind, while the general population casts their ballots on November 3rd (or early voting)...the ACTUAL elections for POTUS and VPOTUS take place December 14th with the electoral college delegates meet to vote. There is a ballot cast for POTUS, and a separate ballot cast for VPOTUS. I would assume that if the candidate elect were to pass, the winning party's executive committee would select a replacement and the electoral college would vote accordingly. I'm not a lawyer or constitutional scholar.

If he's elected he will immediately be declared incompetent to fill the office of President, Harris will be POTUS and Nancy will be VP and our country will be in turmoil unlike anything we've seen because the sleeping bear will finally awaken.

The part about Pelosi assumes the republicans do not re-take the house.

How uncle joes replacement is picked.

Except that the VP position IS elected. The electoral college has an election for POTUS, and a separate election for VPOTUS.

Same number of states I've won?
