Donald Trump: Tax the rich more [and middle class less]
Gant Daily ^ | Aug 27 2015 | CNN

Posted on 08/27/2015 5:58:23 PM PDT by WilliamIII

Donald Trump is finally showing us more of his economic plan beyond the “Make America Great Again” slogan on his red hat.

America has now learned:

— He wants to tax the rich more and the middle class less.

— He wants to lower corporate taxes.

— He wants to cut government spending and stop raising the debt ceiling.

“The hedge fund people make a lot of money and they pay very little tax,” Trump said in an interview Wednesday with Bloomberg. “I want to lower taxes for the middle class.”

Get hold of reality of the horrendous national debt level before fantasizing about Karl Marx. DO not put your fiscal ignorance on display.

What I think is down right evil is those who think they have a moral right to vote to force someone else to pay for the things they want. It is evil to the core and why we as a country are where we are. And if that’s what you believe, you are part of the problem.

When the federal government is building a $100,000 outhouse in Alaska during a sequester, the question of not having enough money is not the problem. The hideous waste and overlapping programs, along with unnecessary Departments with their huge bureaucracies, ARE the problems.

China bankrupt?

ROFL

Bloomberg estimated their coffers at 2 trillion. The total amount is impossible to calculate. The Americans owe China over 13 trillion, and along with the Chinese holding down the value of the RMB, which can massivly spike anytime they want, they could have, in my estimate, at least 70 trillion.

So, the reality of our stupidity on spending money we don’t have justifies stealing from someone else who has more than you do. Is that your morality?

I miss President Reagan. It’s shameful what liberal scholars (and that about the only kind we have now) have done to his memory.

I think I’d rather like to hear him say “cut the spending, cut the waste.. and stop giving tax dollars to our enemies”. There is enough revenue taken in.. just know where it goes!

Go try living like the average Chinese person and get back to me.

China is completely corrupt and anyone that believes the economic numbers they provide is a fool. No one really knows the economic state of China with any accuracy, not even the internal party hacks.

Holding debt is not holding wealth. Do you think they will ever actually collect it???

Trump advocates for socialist policies. This is just one more example from the ultimate RINO socialist.

How could he not aware of the current results of not extending the Bush tax cuts for the rich?

No economic expansion for 7 years and he hasn’t noticed?

Study the issue then come back and talk policy.

Hillary and Bernie want to tax the rich more and the middle class less.

Trump, you’re in the wrong party.

By the way, as far as “fiscal ignorance” goes, you could take everything the super rich have in America and it would barely put a dent in our national debt.

Are you saying the US will default on its debt? (simply stop repaying what it owes)

I dont see that ever happening. That would be WWIII beginning, and they have us outnumbered 10 to 1

Wait, even more fundamental, he thinks he’s going to raise taxes and get more revenue?

No, it will do what it’s been doing.

Print more money backed by nothing.

Been to the grocery store recently? Notice anything?

The value of those dollars is worth far less now than when the Chinese loaned it to us.

We don’t need more peddlers of jealousy—that’s what Democrats do.

“What percent of Jebbie’s $1.3 million for a no show job with Lehman’s does he deserve?”

Doesn’t matter at all. That is a private agreement and it is not our place, nor the government’s, to say what percent he “deserves”. Please, let’s not descend to the democrats’ level of class envy and demagoguery.

“””””Reducing debt by making rich pay more
is very conservative fiscal policy.

Middle class is under stress and can use tax reduction.
Ultra Rich (incomes over million dollars per year) can pay a bit more without much pain.””””””

Anybody know how to post the meme of Capt Picard’s “WTF is this Sh!t?”

Dude, your on the wrong board if you think class warfare has any place in conservative thought.

To the rest do you see the lengths these Trump worshippers have to go to justify his mistatements? Just pathetic.
