Rubio is right. Trump is a taxing liberal. He wants a new special tax - a 14% wealth tax. This kind of taxation doesn’t even fly in Greece. Trump is a liberal.

A one time thing to get rid of the trillions in debt. Add reduction of Corporate Taxes and the rich will applaud it.

Rubio wants to make 10-??? million illegal aliens citizens. Most of the candidates do. I think the amnesty is an orders of magnitude more serious threat to the USA.

Hey, stop that. Do not for any reason distract anyone with the FACTS. How dare you try to stop the March of the Morons. In all seriousness, PT Barnum had it right all along, a sucker is born every minute.

"Rubio is right. Trump is a taxing liberal. He wants a new special tax - a 14% wealth tax. This kind of taxation doesn’t even fly in Greece. Trump is a liberal."

This is what Trump actually proposed:

Repeal the inheritance tax to offset one-time wealth tax

"I would impose a one-time, 14.25% tax on individuals and trusts with a net worth over $10 million. For individuals, net worth would be calculated minus the value of their principal residence. That would raise $5.7 trillion in new revenue, which we would use to pay off the entire national debt [and shore up the Social Security Trust Fund].

My proposal would also allow us to entirely repeal the 55% federal inheritance tax. The inheritance tax is a particularly lousy tax because it can often be a double tax. If you put the money into trust for your children, you pay the inheritance tax upon your death. When the trust matures and your children go to use it, they’re taxed again. It’s the worst.

Some will say that my plan is unfair to the extremely wealthy. I say it is only reasonable to shift the burden to those most able to pay. The wealthy actually would not suffer severe repercussions. The 14.25% net-worth tax would be offset by repeal of the 55% inheritance-tax liability."

You can agree with Trump or not but please make sure you tell the whole story. Not just the part that bolsters your argument. That is what liberals do.
