      That doesn’t really matter. They were just trying to use the system to get more tax cuts and passes.

      Kamala wants to raise taxes on the rich 4+%, while Trump wants to lower them by ~1.5% (again). These asshole would want to see Trump harm americans and destroy the system for a few extra % in their pocket.
