Donald Trump was asked this week, "Do you believe in raising taxes on the wealthy?" He replied, "I do. I do - including myself. I do."
Yet Trump's own tax plan would cut the highest marginal federal income-tax rate from 39.6 percent to 25 percent.
How does this tax plan square with Trump's newly professed support for "raising taxes on the wealthy"?
This is similar to Trump's rampant inconsistency on Obamacare. Trump says he's for repealing Obamacare, but he's not for cutting Medicaid which, thanks to the efforts of those like John Kasich, accounts for most of Obamacare's coverage increases.
In other words, Trump wants to (quote, unquote) "repeal Obamacare" while mostly keeping its government-centric coverage expansion and government-driven price spikes. How does that constitute repeal?

“This guy should do some research and actually look at Trumps tax plan on Trumps campaign web site.”
It’s from the Weekly Standard. Like American Standard’s flagship product, it’s full of ####
dynoman does not joke.
Until Donald ARTICULATES his tax plan, he doesn’t have one.
Reading something that other ghost wrote for him is meaningless.
So, far the only part of his tax plan he’s mentioned to the public is “tax the rich”.
It’s both shallow and democratic.
Unless and until he voices his plan, he doesn’t have one.
You haven’t been listening to him. He has articulated his tax plan on several occasions. You can read the entire position here.

It’s really not that long or difficult to read.
Oh no; how can I ever vote for Trump now?
Suit yourself.
Where does he shelter his money? What off US Soil tax shelters does he use, why won’t he release his IRS records which are constantly being audited for fraud? Most wealthy people shelter their money off US SOIL.
Cretinous.
