struggle with

English and formatting.

Thanks GilGil.

That same dynamic is playing out over a number of different things Trump has proposed, that Conservatives have been screaming for for decades.

Now you get “Conservatives” on the forum refusing to show any appreciation for them whatsoever.

There’s something very fishy about some of my fellow “Conservatives”. Some of them obviously never were.

I admire Trump. He didn’t want to wait to become president and he’s already wearing his president’s thinking cap.

As mentioned in related threads, please consider the following.

Trump supporters need to get him up to speed on the Supreme Court’s clarification of Congress’s limited power to appropriate taxes. State sovereigny-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue which Congress cannot ustify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Also tell Trump that the reason that probably most federal taxes are uncostitutional is because the corrupt, post 17th Amendment ratification Senate is not doing its job to protect the states as the Foundining States had intended for it to do. The Senate actually hurts the states by helping the corrupt House to pass unconstitutional tax appropriations bills, bills that arguably steal state revenues.

The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators who pass unconstitutional House appropriations bills along with it.

These faux-conservatives are armchair quarterbacks.

They think their opinions are worth something but they really are not. They do not believe in their conservatism just in the fact that they have an opinion they think is worth listening to.

They are in essence all show and no go!

I’m NOT a “Trumpet”...but this is good.

As for Rick Perry coming out to criticize it....

Who cares and who credits his analysis over those analysts in the financial review.

It doesn’t get rid of the IRS, so it is just kicking the can

I’m not an economist, so I can’t say whether this is a workable plan. But I like the basic feel of it, and if bona fide economists endorse it, I’ll say it was a big boost for Trump. By contrast, I think Cruz’s simplistic “flat tax” is a bad idea.

Getting rid of the IRS is a pipe dream; no matter what the tax laws are, we will need an IRS to enforce them and process them.

Trump hit a big one with that proposal.

“Can’t wait to see how the polls start tracking.”...

I’ll go out on a limb and predict at least a 5 pt. gain because I’m conservative.

I actually think if Trump gets in the WH he can get the Congress to pass this plan with maybe a few tweaks. The Republicans will go for it.

True

But I think it’s also fair to say reforming or replacing the tax code is something Congress is as excited to work on as entitlement reform.

Or based on his past they simply don’t trust Donald Trump yet. I’m in that category but he has an opportunity to change that. As it is, I know I stick out a bit like a sore thumb because I don’t know that there is any saving the country. But I won’t discourage those who fight to try.

If someone comes to me with an honest disagreement, fine. People don’t think alike. I want to allow for decent Conservatives who don’t care for him.

What gets me is the continue lie, that has been shot down over and over and over again. Here’s an example.

Trump supports Single Payer Health Care.

He has been hawking a robust public sector fix. He want insurance companies to be able to compete across state lines. He wants competition to drive down costs and the diversity of policies.

How can that be termed a single payer government plan?

It is getting government out of the single payer business.

Those that spout this over and over, aren’t honest detractors. They are liars pure and simple.

I would probably agree. Trump doesn’t help himself either though when instead of renouncing single payer, he says it’s great in Canada and Sweden. I hope if he is the nominee he goes to the right and doesn’t fall back to his liberal side.
