Hillary Clinton Vs. Donald Trump Vs. Investors
Investors Business Daily ^ | 8/26/2016 | JED GRAHAM

Donald Trump has a few ideas and Hillary Clinton has a slew of them about how investing should change.

They have one thing in common: Both make investors nervous.

Clinton wants to overhaul the rules on a scope that no other major party nominee in recent decades has conceived of. Trading could get a lot more complicated and expensive...

...Trump's proposals to cut personal and corporate income taxes ... ...his anti-trade and other policies... ...his unwillingness to take on entitlements.

"Trump's plan -- if you believe it -- would be good for investment...

...Clinton has crafted policies that reflect her overriding critique that Wall Street is too focused on short-termism...

...the clearest rationale of Clinton's program seems to be raising more tax revenue...

...Trump's ideas could shift incentives for investors in the opposite direction. By lowering the top income-tax rate...

...How would Clinton's tax plan work? ...

...What the proposal really does is reduce the rewards for intermediate-term investments... ...could have significant implications...

...Clinton's plan would raise the risk that investors could be hit...

..."We are asking that every CEO lay out for shareholders each year a...

...The real problem with the economy... ... a broken tax code. "Our corporations pay too high a tax...

...Wall Street has generally warm feelings to the Clintons...

...lack the hard edge of Bernie Sanders' plan...

...Clinton's tax on high frequency trading may seem inconsequential, though it could be bad news...

...analysts have suggested that traders could simply modify orders...

...Trump's history with Wall Street...

...says he'll get trillions of dollars flowing to America by cutting corporate tax rates...

...good news for investors...

..."Some of his stuff makes sense," like cutting back on regulations... ...when it comes to proposals like his anti-trade ideas, "Some of it is clearly bad."

I can't wait for the debate. It's gonna be a slaughter.

It's gonna look like this:

Every time the doddering Hillary attempts to take a swat at Trump, it backfires.

Can't wait for the debate.

Don’t think the debates will make a difference. The moderators will be on Hillarys side. It’ll be just like the Republican debates......Mrs Clinton, Teump said blah blah blah. What is your response?
Therell be no policy questions. It’ll all be gotcha.
Then everyone will yell and scream about how unfair they were and Yada Yada.

That will be the tendency. However, Trump can point out that the difference between Hillary’s attacks and Trump’s attacks are that nothing she can possibly charge him, a private citizen, with compares to accepting bribes as Secretary of State. And he ain’t just making it up.

If she plays (continues) the KKK card, Trump can point out that as a New Yorker he never even met anyone who he had any reason to believe belonged to the KKK. Presumably, given his 2A stance, he backs the NRA - which was formed by Union officers to support the right of blacks to have weapons to resist the KKK.
