only one reasonable response - and it was wrong - and the rest are doing the liberal lo fo “attack the messenger” thing instead of dealing with the content.
I am pretty sure the content of this article was way above the heads of most.
OK for those who want to understand the issue instead of bash anyone who questions a policy simply because St. Donald’s name is on it , here’s what Trump proposes:
Trump specifically addressed a tax code loophole known as the “carried interest loophole,” a provision in the tax code that lets private equity and hedge fund managers pay taxes at the CAPITAL GAINS rate instead of the ORDINARY INCOME rate.
The capital gains tax bracket is only at 20%, significantly lower than the top income bracket that many fund managers would occupy, which is around 39.6%.
Bernie Sanders is in favor of that. The difference being, he wants to INCREASE the capital gains AND the top income bracket significantly.
For that matter, Hillary is in favor of that too.
Trump echoes similar remarks by his Democrat peers. Hillary Clinton commented in May that “something is wrong when CEOs earn more than 300 times than what the typical American worker earns and when hedge fund managers pay a lower tax rate than truck drivers or nurses.”
Not above my head, and I agree with the article. But Trump is counting on it being above most people’s heads.

A little projection there, eh?
That is, your comment is probably a bit above the heads of most on this thread.
(Or am I being too sarcastic?)
