Warren, the Massachusetts senator and populist champion, said Tuesday that she supports Trump's proposal to levy higher taxes on the rich...Warren's praise is likely to give more ammunition to the conservatives who insist that Trump, the current frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination, is actually a liberal. The billionaire developer said last month that he's in favor of raising taxes on wealthy Americans, winning the approval of another progressive icon: New York Times columnist and Nobel laureate Paul Krugman.

Last I checked, Trump wants a 1-5-10-15% loophole-free rate.
So yes, this would technically raise taxes on hedgefund managers.
Trump could get more democrat votes than republicans.. and independants..
I disagree with Liz.
She’s not a squaw.
Warren, the Masspropaganda indian, speaks with forked tongue.
Yet most of the rank and file do not grasp that. This is a way of diminishing Trump’s steam by the general claim of ‘raising taxes’.
Trump wants to drastically reduce taxes and eliminate the corporate tax.
I’ll bet Fauxcahontas will change her tune when Trump puts out his tax plan later this month.
Republicans don’t hold the sole propriety on distrusts and dislike of the UNIPARTY It seems to be a universal opinion in this neighborhood
Well after all, the rich did take away her way of life, the tommy hawk, the bow and knife...
Thanks JimRob.
Like I wrote earlier, last I checked, 1-5-10-15% loophole-free.
Which does raise taxes on the deduction abuse he’s been railing about on hedgefund managers.
TRASH TRUMP TIME COURTESY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY..........

Donald Trump on Tax Reform
One-time 14% tax on wealthy to pay down national debt. (Jun 2015)
This is reassuring....he can reach across the aisle and work with others
Agitprop. We’ll see the actual plan later this month. Judge it then.
Prediction: it will get rid of the separate rate for capital gains and have one set of rates for income, regardless of how derived.
Trump has stated he wants to build a wall, deport illegals, change and lower H1B visas, rip up Obama care and replace with buying across state lines, eliminating mandates, lower and flatten personal income taxes across the board (1,5,10,15), eliminate the corporate income tax and rewrite our lousy trade agreements including punishing those trading partners that dump their finished goods into our market.
He will probably get 60% of all votes if he keeps up with this nonsense. Hell, even a staunch Conservative who is a huge Cruz fan like me will probably vote for him.
Spcifically Trump said guys who make “$250 million dollars” running hedge funds.
A hedge fund is ... I quote,
“A limited partnership of investors that uses high risk methods, such as investing with borrowed money, in hopes of realizing large capital gains.”
So these guys borrow to make money. As in buying whatever on margins with high risks... not even their own money.
I bet if I look closer, these same guys supported Barack Obama...
go ahead increase their taxes.
Trump’s plan targets the trust fund babies and the rich that supports the Left. Warren’s plan targets middle-class wealth through work and general investments. Trust me, this is another phase in the Left/GOPe arsenal to take down Trump.
I fear that those RINO-haters on FR who love Trump and would cheer his election, will feel one big letdown once he starts to rule. That’s the trouble with electing someone with no core values.
