I admit, his lack of empathy and patience for illegal immigrants is a powerful positive point.
As far as his tax plan he seems to be fine with a majority of Americans not paying taxes. In other words if you make less than 50k as a couple and 25k as an individual, you pay nothing. You have no skin in the game. Where’s the incentive? How is that a conservative policy? Seems pretty liberal to me.
You want to talk property ownership rights next?
How is that conservative policy? Conservative policy would be to have, if at all, the federal income tax be as small as it was and affecting as few as it did, when first enacted.
Folks like Milt Friedman (conservative enough for you?) actually advocated a negative income tax for low earners.
Low earners already pay payroll taxes on every cent they earn.
With EITC we already have, in effect, a negative income tax without the work incentive that at least not taxing, beyond payroll taxes, low level of incomes would require.
Overall, we’d be better off, however, minimizing welfare-type supports and maximizing work incentives by minimizing taxing thereof at this level.
That all said, I see where you’re coming from. But the best tax reform is useless unless it is enacted, and having benefits for the low-income while also reducing taxes on the more productive may be the only way to get the latter to pass.
