Tax plan is pretty good, far better than the “FAIR” tax, and the only one with a chance of working.

His tax plan eliminates business taxes, capital gains taxes, inheritance taxes, and takes personal income taxes to extremely low levels. We can all agree on the need to cut taxes but at the same time Trump is talking about increasing spending on defense and veterans and not touching Social Security or Medicare. At the end of the day there is a $4.8 trillion dollar budget to balance, because Trump has also said he'd do that, and no identified cuts in government spending to make up for the loss in revenue, much less cover the current deficit. His tax plan is a half the equation, the other half is non-existent.

ISIS (bomb the oil fields) exactly what the Brits did to the French Navy in WW II. Solid concept.

No, his plan is to send in troops to beat ISIS, once he's found his Patton, and occupy the oil fields. Once that is done he will pump the oil, sell it, and use the proceeds to pay for the war and the occupation. So let's see...invade and occupy...where have we heard that before?

His book is pretty full of solid stuff. You just don’t want to admit it.

His book is full of sound-bites.

Not what he said on ISIS, and the 1980s (not to mention the 1920s) showed us you can cut taxes and balance a budget. Reagan would have had a balanced budget if Congress would have kept expenditures to 35% increase (tax revenues rose 40%)
