This is a list I figure we can all help compile. For my part:
-Trump favors a progressive tax
-Trump is not out to get rid of the IRS
-Trump would continue to fund Planned Parenthood
-Trump would be friendly with Putin
-Trump favors protectionist economic policies ceneterd on tariffs

That you, Yeb?
You got to be kidding me...that list shows you weren’t listening...
Actually Trump has published a plan for a massive tax cut.
When the rich pay a higher percentage of taxes than the classes below them, what is that called?

But my take was that he wants to simplify the tax code and cut taxes. He told Neil Cavuto he will be working with Steve Forbes to determine the best tax plan.

No he's for defunding them while they do abortions.
They going to quit abortion? Change their practices or no money.
Nope. His plan has been posted several times on FR.
I guess Reagan believed in a progressive tax system because that is how his reform of the income tax worked.
Any tax reform except the fair tax would keep the IRS. The only candidates I have heard come out for the fair tax are Huckabee and I heard Cruz once say he wanted a flat tax on the way to the fair tax. The more correct statement here would be that every candidate except one is for keeping the IRS. Granted, Trump said the IRS would be much smaller and highly automated under his plan but the truth is that If you keep the income tax, you have to have a collection agency. I did hear Trump briefly mention the fair tax in his interview with Mark Levin. The problem with any income tax reform is that in a short time it will get screwed up again. Reagan’s tax reform only had two rates (progressive?) and it eliminated many deductions. Look at how screwed up Congress got that in 30 years. I think the only tax reform that is not guaranteed to be screwed up in a few years would be the fair tax.
His tax plan SIGNIFICANTLY cuts taxes. All candidates tax plans are progressive. Even the flat tax plans are since some pay no taxes and others pay 15-20%.
Being unfriendly with Putin hasn't done a lot of good. What matters is what Trump can pressure Putin into doing.
It's called the tax plan of EVERY candidate. Reagan cut but kept a progressive tax rate.
No candidate believes every citizen should pay the same rate on income. All have at least two tiers of taxation.
Stop being dishonest.
Maybe the guys a Rand Paul guy?
Top bracket 15 is a lot less than 39.4
Are deaf or just dumb?
This article is fundamentally dishonest.
TWB
I am a Cruz guy not a Trump supporter.
That said he is using Steve Forbes and Art Laffer as consultants for his Tax proposal,misery solid IMO.
He is weak on abortion as his comments of funding PP ‘non abortion’ work proved.
