You do realize that taxing unrealized capital gains destroys the economy quicker than any thing any government has ever devised? Taxing a business owner on assets they have accumulated to fund running the business destroys the incentive to even own a profitable business. It’s never been done before in anything but third world countries and feudal caste systems

Unfortunate your personal hatred and inability to actually study what the candidates policies are blinds you to the truth. It’s also unfortunate you believe the tripe published by journalists and propagandists. Trump had no more to do with project 2025 than you did. It has nothing to do with him. You may wish to assume that anything published by journalists and the US government is a lie until you can independently verify it. You will be much more factual and correct that way.

Harris had one title in her current role in this administration. She was “border czar”. We have 20,000,000+ illegal aliens that have come in during her one single job. None of the are vetted, tested for illness, pledged loyalty to our country or have any proof they can work or function in society. They are the dregs of the world. Based on that performance alone she is more unfit to serve in any goverment position based on that job performance than just about any politician in the US.

You should go ahead and vote for her. Several of our states have no requirements for proof of citizenship, identity, residency or even if you are living. They will be happy to mail you a ballot and allow you to vote. It’s a real testament to the integrity of our elections in this country
So you don't mind funding the taxes foregone on untaxed overtime by increases in government lending? You don't borrow to fund opex, you borrow to invest. We had a (very) short-lived Conservative (our equivalent of your Republican party) PM who suggested the contrary, she ended up costing millions of UK citizens untold billions collectively in increased interest payments on loans and mortgages when the markets tanked following her one and (thankfully) only budget. She is now making a very healthy living on the speaking circuit in the good old US of A!

I don't hate Trump, I don't know him well enough personally for that particular emotion to have established itself. I fear him, as should you and ALL Americans. Trumps attempt to distance himself from Project 2025 may be swallowed by those who would believe anything he says (bit like the cats and dogs menu drivel and the execution of babies born at 9 months), but a leopard doesn't change its spots, and every sentiment he expresses about the state and federal legislatures, the judiciary, the armed forces, foreign policy etc etc etc ad nauseam, chimes word for word with what is document in the Project 2025 proposals. The source of my information on Project 2025 is not governmental nor journalistic in the narrow sense you suggest, and for what its worth, whilst Wikipedia isn't perfect, its record in terms of accurately documenting just about anything you would wish to investigate is as flawless as any such platform (and a f00king sight better than "Truth Social").

And your figure of illegal aliens, perhaps fact-checking is something you should engage in there, as opposed to swallowing more of the drivel that comes out of Laura Loomers rather uncontrollable mouth? Perhaps some information from the Cato institute (not hard to find) would help?

I'm not a US citizen, so I can't vote for either (I suspect that the frailty, in terms of identifying and validating "legal" voters, you describe has existed for some time, under a variety of administrations), but my hope is that Harris wins despite her flaws and shortcomings, which we all have, or one extent or another. The alternative is simply too terrible to countenance, and not just for citizens of the United States of America.
