Compare these 2 Videos of Trump and Biden Talking about Taxes and the Wealthy
Joe Biden saying the rich have to be "patriotic" and pay more to "bring back the middle class" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCqgNWRjmAc
Both advocate class warfare and the wealthy "not paying their fair share". One is rightfully deemed a liberal buffoon that likes to plagiarize others work and advocate class warfare, while the other is worshiped as the new savior to save the USA.
But don't let pesky facts get in the way of your idol worship.
I’ll still support Trump over Biden...so what is your point?
He’s with Biden on taxes, Sanders on trade, and doesn’t think America is great enough to compete with China unless we place high tariffs, penalizing every consumer in the country....but he’s the “great right hope”......
yeah, right.
Oh I don't know, maybe the fact that Trump is not conservative on tax policy?
I'd vote for a garden slug over Biden, what does that have to do with someone pointing out that on tax policy Trump is a liberal? Trump's position on taxes would be called socialist liberal drivel it were anyone else saying it, yet Trumpsters don't want to hear it and will forgive any leftist thing he says.
We're choosing the next President, not the next realityTV star. If you want realityTV, I'm sure Kim Kardashian is available.
Trump, according to the video, wants hedge fund managers to pay the same taxes as everyone else does. He is not advocating that they pay more taxes than everyone else does.
So I don’t see that as class warfare.
Too early on a Sunday morning to respond to “Trump is evil” thread.
Why don’t you let us think for ourselves.
What is better? Trump who says some of the things we have been dying to hear for years and has wide ranging support vs. a field of losers who can’t top Trump, let alone even begin to win against a corrupt system that’s been put in place by the liberals. I prefer Cruz, but you can’t argue with Trump’s success.
Take your sweater vest and shove it!
yeah, right.

I'm amazed at how many Freepers are supporting Trump's Biden-Sanders tax and trade economics. Really surprising. He is reaching for Dem votes. No thanks.
I don’t even have to watch the videos to know how much I like them.
Those who forget the recent history of the Trump immigration position are going to look like the fools they are on his tax plan too.
Wow, that was a SOLID Argument of personal attacks and fact avoiding. I’m totally convinced now. /sarc
Well, if he is, that Youtube video didn't show it. Kindly see my post #5.
Like you. I prefer Cruz, but it's Trump's to win or lose now. And everything Trump says I agree with. I also find it significant that Cruz and Palin have said some very nice things about Trump.
Trump, I'm still not 100% sure of. But I respect Cruz's judgment and Palin's judgment. if Trump is OK with them, he's OK with me.
Truth hurts doesn’t it. Tell us who you support.
Let me play devil’s advocate here - you respect Cruz’s judgment when hie staffers told him not to trust McConnel and he did anyway? And, Sarah campaigning again for McCain’s win in the last senatorial election? Sorry, I just couldn’t resist. I’m a Trump/Cruz/Palin supporter, however, they all have their warts.
Yep, you're right. Even Reagan made a wrong turn now and again. I guess the moral here is don't fall too deeply in love with any candidate.
Tax rates desired by Republicans will not make ONE BIT OF DIFFERENCE if the Dems wind up legalizing 30 MILLION NEW VOTERS.
First we’ll have Trump CLEAN OUT the country of the Illegals, while also cutting back someone on the legals, and then fight him on taxes, if that is even necessary.
But, as it is, I won’t fight too hard to protect the 5% tax bracket of hedge fund managers that make $100M. I’ll leave that fight to you.
Trump is a wild card. It doesn't appear he is owned. Admittedly, we don't know.
Donald Trump recently courted the “tea party” vote ahead of a Nashville straw poll. Here are 7 of their documented views on the issues.
Bank Bailouts. Tea party hated them. Donald Trump supported them: “Now, I did not know about a $700 billion bailout, in all fairness. And I think probably, it is something — it’s sad, but, probably, it’s something that has to get done, because your financial system is most likely going to come to a halt if it does not. So, it is a pretty sad day for this country.”
Stimulus. Tea party hated it. Donald Trump supported it: “It is a bad sound bite, but I thought [President Obama] did a terrific job. This is a strong guy knows what he wants, and this [the stimulus package] is what we need.”
Auto-bailouts. The tea party was against them. Donald Trump supported them: “I think the government should stand behind them 100 percent. You cannot lose the auto companies. They’re great. They make wonderful products.”
Blames 2007 market crash on Bush, thought housing market was fine in March 2007: “Now, as far as the housing market, I think it’s okay. It’s not terrible, it’s not great — it’s okay. It was great two years ago; now it’s fine, it’s solid.” The Fed continued to slash interest rates as Trump advised at that point, contributing to the housing market bubble. He recently stated that “I like low interest rates,” then went on to say The Fed is “creating a bubble.”
Higher taxes. The tea party opposed them. Donald Trump supports raising marginal rates: “The hedge fund guys are getting away with murder. They’re making a tremendous amount of money. They have to pay taxes. I want to lower the rates for the middle class.” (CBS via Bloomberg) Reason magazine points out that the economy and job creation boomed when presidents John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan lowered marginal rates.
Economic policies. The tea party vehemently opposed the tax-and-spend policies of the Democratic Congress since 2006 and detested the high national debt. Donald Trump said in 2004: “I’ve been around a long time. And it just seems the economy does better under the Democrats than under Republicans.”
Government-run healthcare. The tea party railed against Obamacare and single-payer. Donald Trump supports universal healthcare: “But I’m quite liberal and getting much more liberal on healthcare and other things. I really say: What’s the purpose of a country if you’re not going to have [universal] healthcare?”!
I don’t think Trump has a philosophy
