Trump Says Taxes for the Wealthy Should Go Up
Newsmax ^ | 5/8/16 | Thompson/Reuters

Posted on 05/08/2016 7:10:24 AM PDT by Nachum

Donald Trump said on Sunday that taxes for the wealthy should go up but that his tax plans would likely be renegotiated with Congress should he win the U.S. presidency.

"For the wealthy I think frankly it is going to go up and, you know what, it really should go up," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee told NBC's "Meet the Press."

Trump said that he see his current tax plans, which would reduce taxes for the middle class and businesses and increase those for the wealthy, as a negotiating "floor" that may change in dealings with Congress. Latest News Update Get Newsmax TV At Home »

However, he added, "when it comes time to negotiate, I feel less concerned with the rich than I do with the middle class."

More and more as I realize most of the wealthy are Liberals, I have no problem with it.

The idea is to not tax the folks who are trying to get rich and are creating jobs in the process.

Look the sore Luzerman concern troll act is really getting old. Go read Trump’s detailed tax plan which clearly outlines the tax rates and stop whining hysterically to me about it.

His tax plan is available for anyone who gives a damn, and the ugliest dog in creation is of more value than people who don't give a damn. Argue with the dog.

What Trump should be saying is that he will eliminate loopholes and tax shelters that the rich have been taking advantage of. It's not that we are "raising taxes" on the rich but that we are taking away the ways that they have been able to evade. Trump himself took advantage of these loopholes so he knows this well. He just needs to explain it better.

IF you read the Trump tax plan, most Americans will see a tax decrease.

What makes you think I’m a Cruz guy?
You are whining hysterically, not I.
See if you can grasp this, think very hard...
Trump said on SUN that he wanted to raise taxes on the wealthy. Having put up a tax plan on a website at some earlier date does NOT IN ANY WAY EVEN BEGIN TO CHANGE THE FACT THAT ON SUNDAY, TRUMP SAID HE WANTED TO RAISE TAXES ON THE WEALTHY.

If I murder my neighbor on TUE, it is NOT mitigated by the fact that on MON, I said, “I will not murder my neighbor on TUE.”

The logic does NOT follow, even if every hedge fund manager who ever lived was wealthy from his date of birth to his death.

“All miniature schnauzers are animals, therefore all animals are miniature schnauzers” is not logical.

Trump has said repeatedly that he wants to close the loophole on hedge fund managers. That’s what he is talking about and yes I know a bad case of sore luzerman when I hear it. LOL!

Oh, I remember that! There are so many lefty scumpigs engaged in violence at Trump gigs I can’t keep them all straight.

Cruz went way down in my view on that. Trump’s “tone” is one of the 2 not so great reasons I support him; he refuses to whine like a peter-puffing douchebag every time the media demands it of him, and I LOVE to see it.

Any other repub in the last 50 years would have issued a hundred or more apologies by now.

I like that he truly has concern for average folks.
