Have you written checks to the government to support the higher taxes required to build Trump’s wall, or increase defense spending?
We tried to pay for the wall by private donation but we weren't even allowed to do that.

In fact, you were ‘allowed’ to do that. It didn’t go well.

It still doesn't answer the question. Why wait for a law to be passed to pay more taxes?
You start here by assuming that all folks who cast a vote for a Democratic Party candidate “want more taxes”. I’ve known a few folks in that voting category and none of them have either stated a preference for more taxes, or an urge to insist on less taxes. Rather, ‘taxes’ are just one part of a much larger collection of issues that may concern them, and part of the social/financial contract that helps define their concept of America. They don’t choose their candidates solely on this single issue. After watching both the situation in Kansas in recent years, and Trump’s pushing of debt to record highs, their approach seems more realistic than believing that “lower taxes” is always the panacea for individual voter angst.

ajax, serious question. Do you invest in a 401k, with some portion of either pre- or post-tax pay?
Yeah
Are you able to add your contributions ‘pre tax’? And do you fund it aggressively?

My goodness, if that landslide defeat* was what Biden inflicted on Trump while he was asleep, little Donald can count himself lucky that he wasn't awake!

*i.e. the precise reversal of the 'landslide' electoral college win Trump claimed in 2016, plus a whacking great win in the popular vote, instead of Trump's sizeable 2016 defeat in the popular vote.

Then there’s this ‘Presidential’ schedule, which has remained unchanged for days and days:

Trump's 75m to Biden's 68m does not seem to match your reality.
But maybe your "landslide" characterization is based upon your conclusion that a record breaking candidate won the most secure election?
all while being less popular than the former President whom he supposedly shattered in the polls?

18% Trump
15% Obama (cool fact, among Democrats Obama got 32% to Biden's 13%...but yeah record breaking)
06% Biden
03% Fauci

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

You meant Biden's 81 million to Trump's 74 million. Or, you were saying something about alternative realities?
