Earlier today stated he is opposed to tithe type of tax where the poor and the rich pay 10%. His reasoning is the marginal increase a rich person would pay is not as burdensome as the percentage a poor person pays.
IOW the value of the first $1,000 (gross income $10,000) a poor person pays in income tax is more valuable to the poor person than the first $100,000 (gross income $1,000,000) to a rich person. This is debatable. Me, I hate giving any money to Feds because I hate the way it spends it.

Are you ignorant of the fact that the bottom 47% pay no tax at all?
Trump has structured his investments so that he pays little to no taxes at all, much like Buffet, Gates, & co. so it is no surprise that he lacks understanding of his gaffe.
The graduated tax is what most stifles job growth. More than 80% of jobs come from small businesses that are subject to that confiscatory system.
Trump should know this.
