BOWIE, Md. — David Duba, a government teacher at Bowie High School, is nervous about the direction of the country and expects backlash from unhappy voters in the near future.
“I’m definitely concerned that there’s gonna be violence today or over the next three months,” said Duba, 30, who voted last week in Anne Arundel County but came to a Bowie polling center on general Election Day to give some students encouragement as they voted for the first time.
“I’m concerned that former President (Donald) Trump is casting doubt on the election processes and spreading misinformation about election results” before votes are counted, he added.
Duba, an Annapolis resident and “firmly a Democrat,” said the economy would be in better hands under Vice President Kamala Harris, who is seeking the presidency.
He added, “If Harris and the Democrats win control of the House and Senate, there could be productive steps to move the economy forward for those who need it most.”
Duba believes Trump’s economic plan does not benefit working- and middle-class individuals enough.
“Tax cuts for the wealthy are going to hurt the economy,” he said.
Trump has promised to extend his tax cut policies implemented in 2017 if re-elected, which reduced the top marginal tax rate to 37 percent for the wealthy.
Harris’s policy would raise the top marginal tax rate to about 40 percent, and propose a new 25 percent tax on unrealized gains for those with a net worth over $100 million.
Why is this news? This is so irresponsible of you to publish this. I will send him a box of tissues and give him an Economics 101 book. Violence he is referring to will come from his side not the RED.
