Love it or not, Trump’s plan should be directly compared against the detailed tax plans put forth by Jeb, Rubio and Fiorina.
I read where he has been in discussions with Art Laffer a while back. This will be interesting.
Whatever this plan is I can almost guarantee two things:
1) It not only will be superior to what we’ve had in decades and very growth oriented, and
2) It will be widely criticized as hurting women, minorities, and the homeless.
Are any of the other candidates held to this ‘be specific’ standard these days? Or just Trump?
Yeah, I thought so.
You can't win an election without giving your potential supporters someone to hate. We don't have massive, systemic political and economic problems that have been decades in the making. It's just those evil hedge fund guys, not paying their fair share!
I wonder how many voters even know what a hedge fund is and how it works. I can't give a definition off the top of my head ... I'd have to look it up.
“It’s going to be very specific,” Trump said of his proposal.

It will lower taxes. lol
I like Trump, but I also like to hear how one plans to do something. So far he’s been vague on nearly everything. Time to up your game Mr. Trump. It will be good for your candidacy.
But he never releases any specifics. Waaaaaaahhhhhh. He’s all style no substance. Waaaaahhhhhhh.
(Just doing my media impression.)
Still doesn’t seem to be any reason to believe that this “plan” will be anything but another variation on the graduated income taxes of Marx and Engels.
In other words, it won’t really solve much of anything.
If a tax plan doesn’t treat every American fairly and equally, I’m not interested.
If it targets some for increased burdens, and panders to “the middle class,” it’s really nothing but more class warfare and social engineering.
No plan will be truly great unless it is combined with a cut in government growth and government spending.
Is the media demanding specifics from the GOP-e candidates?
I thought the point of Trump’s plan was not needing details. A flat rate at different income levels, or are there higher rates for certain types of income, like stock trading. A million or more people feed off the tax code bureaucracy, they better start considering a job change, 70,000 plus page tax code is Idiocracy.
Anyone who wants to know what Trump thinks and what his ideas are just need to read his book from 2011, it’s all pretty much in there.
In addition he has a new book coming out next month also detailing a lot of his thinking. So all the pundits, etc., looking for answers can find them. He’s put out and will be putting out a lot more than most of the others.
Trump is going to abolish taxes. Anything less than that is socialism.

There are Freepers for whom this plan won’t be specific enough.
More whining and wailing from them.
You’all know whom I’m speaking of.
