So now that the debt is 14 trillion what makes you think Trump wouldn't advocate a 14 trillion wealth surcharge to "eliminate the national debt"

Because the debt is almost three times as high as it was in 2000 and taking that sort of money out of the economy would destroy it. You don't think Trump is smart enough to know that?

There WAS validity and advantages to wiping out the national debt at the time.

I just don't see how Trump is any less dishonest than Romney

I don't see a thing conservative about Romney's record. I do see some conservative beliefs that Trump has had and has had for a long time. That doesn't mean I'd vote for either in a primary.

There was no more validity to a massive wealth tax then than there is now. It was a stupid idea then, and it's a stupid idea now.

I don't really disagree with you about Romney. He never was particularly conservative and flip flops when he feels it necessary. Thing is, I consider Trump a clown, so to me Trump isn't even an option. In the primaries I am much more interested in supporting candidates like Palin or Bachmann.
