But what exactly is Cruz proposing for a business tax?

A broad-based, 16 percent Business Transfer Tax or value-added tax. This tax is levied on all business profits, less capital investment. This would include the payroll of business, government, and non-profit institutions, as well as net imports. A business transfer tax is also often known as a subtraction-method value-added tax.

It really smacks small businesses.

That is miserable and wrong-headed. If that is true, Cruz has lost a lot of support from me.

The problem is the point is going over your head........this isn't about Trump hiring people.....in politics you “appoint” people and these often times much be approved by our congressional leaders.....Trump SAYS he hires the right people when this is a man who hires illegals, who leaves projects unfinished or handed over and ignored once he's got what he wants from them.....

No thank you..as said...I want a President “Present” in the Whitehouse and not leaving "HIS JOB AS PRESIDENT" to chase other interests outside of what he was "voted" to do for this nation.....and Trup has been known to do just that on other projects and ventures he takes on.

Unbelievable that the people that claim to be conservatives at this site put up with this!

I just can’t vote for Trump...Based on his history, things he has said in the past, no voting record to compare, etc...I just can’t do it. He talks a good talk, but anyone can do that. I really don’t want to be on FR in a couple of years taking about how we have been “deceived” by Trump. The red flags are all over the place...

Under no circumstances I want a liar and a cheater such as Cruz in the white house.

If the pipeline is blown up, ISIS Trump gets none of it.

Trump says he's going to take the oil. If they leave it in the ground, Trump lies. If they cut the pipeline to Trump, whether or not they divert it someplace else--ISIS, Turkey, Iran, Syria, etc., Trump still lies. Trump would promised the oil to us and wouldn't have delivered. Trump likes to take other people's stuff, but its not as easy as he seems to think.

When one reaches a conclusion that one is smarter than most other people, it is time to visit a psychiatrist.

That is a clear sign of desperation and frustration on the part of supporters who see their candidate not rising to the top of polls. What they are missing is people are not worried about eminent domain, or New York values, people are scared to death about losing jobs, losing their homes, losing their lifestyle.

This turmoil will continue through mid-march.

What a low information post! US military had COMPLETE control over Iraq during Bush-43 admin. We could have taken ownership of entire Iraqi oil, if we wanted to. It is that same oil which is now in control of ISIS.

You aren’t getting Trump’s point (probably deliberately): he said ISIS shouldn’t have it, that we should take it -—so they don’t get it. So what if they blow it up? They don’t get it. They don’t blow it up, we get it with minor security commitment, either way they don’t get it which was the original context of the comment.

Well, people who are not scared right now are stoned or stupid.

I read in another post that 61 people control 1/2 the world’s wealth. Frankly, that’s believable. You don’t have to be a socialist or communist to want to get that money spread around at least in part. People like that float over the world on hovercraft.

The determination to use that power makes for a whole lot of reasons to kill Justices, candidates, and economies, let alone 100s of millions of people.

If true, ALL CAREER politicians are in the pockets of those 61 people. Career politicians can not continue their CAREERS without those ultra rich sugar daddies and their Superpacs. Trump has appeared like Haley’s comet which does not appear often in the sky. Not often we get a candidate like Trump who does NOT take money from those 61 people.

Talking the establishment talking points I see.....they’ve been saying the same thing for years about Cruz...it’s only recently the Trumpsters are tooting Trumps story line, also “borrowed” from the establishment.

Don’t kid yourself. Trump is telling you what you want to hear, but his record of supporting the left ideology is plain to see. Please take your rose colored glasses off before it is too late.

Everyone keep saying record. He has zero record......never voted for anything in his life. That is one reason I am supporting him. I am sick and tired of politicians.....they all suck.
