- Trump talks too much about about raising taxes.
- He changes his mind on things.
- He's probably going to be the next President.
- This will be not only a vast improvement but will also probably be a very good thing.
It’s why we’ll never have a Flat Tax. The super wealthy aren’t going to give up bullshit loopholes like carried interest.
“we only know here that what he’s saying is wrong.”
REALLY? Oh, wise one....tell us more for we are only ignorant serfs of our government and need your guidance.
The Ministry Of Propaganda is in a full court press to try to take Trump’s numbers down.
The Cheap Labor Express is very worried........
All I need to know about hedge fund people is that bastard who bought the drug company driving costs per pill from $7.50 to $750 overnight. People like him are equivalent to corporate raiders and crony capitalists. Produce nothing but profits for themselves. Totally agree with Trump.
LOL!
You may have a flat tax....applying it only to earned income, i.e., wages. There will always be other taxes.....like Health Insurance taxes....corporate taxes...utility taxes.
But I believe it is for AIDS....so it is probably a "paid by Medicaid" drug....
Wow, good morning it's a lovely new day! Yesterday stocks tanked over a % in heavier trade but that may be a good kind of basing/profit taking --witness today's stellar futures view for stocks today at +0.53% Metals ain't too shabby neither seen this AM at +0.73% and gold/silver are now at $1,126.30/$14.86. Econ reports today are just MBA Mortgage Index and Crude Inventories. Elsewhere:

Ah, happy first day of Autumn too.
10% of the 50 stories on the FR page where this thread was found at the top were about Trump.
That % has been fairly consistent since he announced.
He’s dominating FR.
They are scared their cash cow is going down.
Well, hey, if I’m starving, then I’ll enjoy watching them collapse, too.
They destroy the middle class, excuse us while we watch you join the rank and file.
I’m sick and tired of these sellouts. Beyond sick and tired. Welcome to the party, boys.
Not interested in reading the article today are we?
Cr@p.
Forgot to check and I usually do. 8P. Ah well, hope they don’t pull this thread...
The question of whether these earnings should be reported as income or capital gains is a legitimate one, but the controversy over this -- including Donald Trump's public statements -- is nothing more than political pandering.
Trying to figure out that statement over my first coffee, but I think it means FR has focused on Trump and I'm not sure that's bad.
Trump knows more about hedge funds than this chump does.
Trump is a good communicator, and he’s telling average voters that in balance with reducing corporate taxes to help the economy, he’ll trim some ways that the wealthy get special treatment.
And sure, VC especially is good for the economy, but that doesn’t mean VC bonuses have to be tax advantaged. Maybe if anything he gives reason to reconsider how stock options are taxed once exercised.
I hope you never need a lifesaving drug that goes from a $7.50 a pop to $750 a pop. This d——e bag just spent a fortune to buy a company knowing he had to inflate product cost to this level to recoup a profit at the expense of people who are helpless. Personally I don’t care what the drug treats, and, unlike legitimate pharmaceutical companies, NONE of that money goes into new product development. I hope he burns in hell.
