Norquist Blesses Trump's Tax Plan, Brings 'Jobs, Jobs, Jobs'
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 9/28/15

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's newly released tax plan was given a blessing Monday by the nation's biggest anti-tax advocate, Grover Norquist, who said it would produce "jobs, jobs, jobs."

As Trump revealed his plan at a press conference, Norquist's influential Americans for Tax Reform released its review that Trump's plan is "consistent" with the advocacy group's "Taxpayer Protection Pledge."

ATR said that the Trump plan overall budget neutral, and reforms some of the current tax code.

On Twitter, Norquist wrote: "The @realDonaldTrump tax plan cuts business tax from 35% to 15%. This makes us competitive worldwide. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs."

Well, well. Politics sure makes for strange bedfellows. This will not matter to the trumpettes.

Norquist has been trashing Donald from the beginning. He is now trying to get in Trump’s good graces. I think people are finally realizing Trump may win after all.

My only problem with the Trump plan is that it only lowers Cap Gains Tax rate from 24% to 20%. Obama raised it from 15%
, this can’t be justified since its investments of peoples savings that were already taxed.

If Trumps Corporate tax is 15% then how can he justify Cap Gains being taxed 5% more than Corporate.

Hedge fund guys get a couple percent tax hike, big deal. Largely they still have lots to give to the Democrats.

That’s how I saw it as well.

Hint: capital gains taxes hit more than just "hedge fund guys"

If the Dow keeps dropping, we may not have to worry about Capital Gains, only losses. The 10th largest company in the world, Glencore just lost 30%.

Like it or not, Norqueist is one the most prominent tax cut advocates in the country. It is a plus for Trump to have him endorse his tax plan.

Implying Trump somehow is pro-Muslim because Grover like his tax plan is beyond stupid.

Yep....looks like Al-Grover AND WSJ are seeing the inevitable TrumpWave coming, and their peers are likely ones consulted on this plan, so they’re reluctantly getting on board the TrumpTrain.
