Only one candidate has a plan for a booming economy
New York Post ^ | 20 Sep, 2016 | Betsy Mccaughey

The choice for voters is clear: a tax cut from Donald Trump or a pay cut courtesy of Hillary Clinton.

Trump is promising to slash income taxes to zero for millions of people currently paying them, and to reduce the tax bite on everyone else except the mega-rich.

Clinton, by contrast, isn’t cutting income tax rates for anyone. Instead, she’s campaigning to raise business taxes, despite warnings it will cause wages to plummet and the economy to tank.

No wonder Trump is moving up in the polls. Most Americans are still making less than they did in 2007. The mainstream media want to double down on “birthers” and other fabricated issues. But will voters really be fooled by such nonsense? Will they be so easily distracted? Trump is betting no — they’ll vote their wallets.

Trump proposes a zero income-tax rate for singles making $25,000 and couples making twice that. Instead of paying the government money, they’ll file a one-page tax form that says, in not so many words, “I win.”

Moving up the ladder, singles earning $35,000 will save about $1,000, according to tax experts at CNN Money. And singles earning $64,000 will get a $2,700 break, on average. Anyone earning $112,000 will save over $5,300. Sweet.

I didn’t know any of this, I mean I knew of the tax cut but not this much detail. Hope Trump brings this up during the debate.

This is the Clinton/Obama playbook.

This is the Trump playbook.

Any questions?

With a little over a month to go, Hillary asked for suggestions tonight in Florida.

Let that roll around your brain for a bit .... she needs ideas.


She's ready to jump right in and take charge .... if we tell her what we want.

“I didn’t know any of this, I mean I knew of the tax cut but not this much detail. Hope Trump brings this up during the debate.”

You don’t know the details because the main stream media ignores what Trump says unless its a gaffe. They also ignore most of what Hillary says because its the truth of what she plans to do - ruin the country!

You’ll get much more of the real news on FR and Fox News.

This is only half the equation. Tax cuts without spending reductions only lead to higher deficits. Trump is clear on the tax cuts and vocal on where his spending will increase, but is silent on his spending cuts.
