I know a lot of you hate Donald Trump with a passion that knows no limits.

So, on this Tax Day 2026 I think it fair to ask, “are you paying at the higher tax rate that would have applied if Kamala (Harris) had won the ‘24 election”?
The average taxpayer would have been out several thousand bucks in extra taxes.
You could pay the difference to keep your D card.
Just a reminder, the twice-failed presidential candidate … who apparently plans to run again in two years … proposed a 35 percent hike in corporate taxes.
Harris proposed a tax on unrealized gains for the wealthy.
She also pitched the highest capital gains tax rate since capital gains taxes were first imposed more than 100-years ago.
Pay all of those if you like.
If you truly despise President Trump wouldn’t it make sense for you to voluntarily forgo any benefit you get from the current tax code?
If you’re a blue, tried and true liberal progressive, feel free to pay the old higher rates that applied before the Evil Orange Man’s massive tax cut nine years ago … now extended under the One Big Beautiful Bill.
I’m betting you still hate Trump, pay the lower taxes and embrace the hypocrisy of America’s Democrat Party.
Without double standards, you’d have none at all
