EXCLUSIVE: TRUMP CALLS CLUB FOR GROWTH ‘A PACK OF THIEVES’
Breitbart ^ | August 29,2015 | by MICHAEL PATRICK LEAHY

Posted on 08/29/2015 2:24:06 PM PDT by Hojczyk

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, GOP front runner Donald Trump is firing back at the Club for Growth.

“They’re a pack of thieves,” Trump told Breitbart News as he was leaving Nashville’s Rocketown facility. He had just finished delivering a high-energy speech to an overflow crowd of more than 1,000 people.

Trump was attending the annual convention of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies, which describes itself as “the grassroots Republican wing of the Republican Party.”

“They [the Club for Growth] came to my office looking for money. I turned them down. That’s why they’re after me,” Trump told Breitbart News.

Earlier in the week, the Club for Growth attacked Trump for his proposal to penalize Ford Motor Company for putting a car manufacturing plant in Mexico rather than Tennessee.

“Donald Trump’s threat to impose new taxes on U.S. car companies will hurt the American economy and cost more American jobs,” David McIntosh, President of the Club for Growth, said in a statement.

“It should thrill liberals and Democrats everywhere that Trump wants to create new taxes and start a trade war to force American companies to work where he demands,” McIntosh added.

Trump stopped specifically to address Breitbart’s question as he moved down the exit aisles surrounded by throngs of supporters.

“I love Breitbart News. This is going to be a good question,” Trump said.

Trump did not pull any punches when asked if he had a message for the Club for Growth in response to its attacks.

Other candidates might shy away from calling out their critics so bluntly as “a pack of thieves,” but for Trump it was just another opportunity to take the battle to the opposition.

There’s a me-too thing going on above and beyond aerodynamics, though. The Ford Fusion set off a series of imitators, from Hyundai to Subaru, same profile, same front grille, similar headlights and taillights. It’s possible to be aerodynamic and not look like everything else.

Obvious union person so we can respectfully agree to disagree. Efficiency in work and cost would have kept more jobs here. In the work place like in the rest of American the loud and lazy hurt us all and American workers are mostly the best held back by the loud and lazy!

Considering all the other factors that affect gas mileage that has to be a ridiculous policy.

Which makes me suspect it could have something to do with the EPA or some other foul nest of bureaucratic busybodies.

Except for trucks, almost everything else on the road looks metrosexual or gay.

He thinks a pro-abortionist extremist sister should be on SCOTUS and tells conservatives to shut up about gay marriage and supports Kelo and ENDA and Mylie Cyrus is his kind of role model for little girls.

Not a conservative.

I’ll never understand why auto companies don’t try to build cars as beautiful as that anymore. Or at least cars with some style.

It's all aerodynamics and weight...The EPA demands they get a certain gas mileage...They are limited on what they can design...GET RID OF THE EPA...

Sure...If people would only work for rice instead of money...And go back to outdoor toilets...You sound like one of them conservatives I keep reading about...

In the work place like in the rest of American the loud and lazy hurt us all and American workers are mostly the best held back by the loud and lazy!

Nonsense...You sound like Bush and Obama...Americans generally speaking are not lazy...

I've worked both union and non union...There's no difference in attitude in the workers in either environment...The exception is not the rule...

I won’t say what you sound like. Work for rice?? Where are you from? But the “exception” you speak of are the loud, lazy that ruin this country and that abuse the help that unions should have offered honest Americans.

Wow.

A good environment is fewer regulations and lower taxes.

A poor environment has more regulation and higher taxes.

I want a good environment. I prefer lower taxes ...like zero corporate income taxes. I want to reduce barriers to starting and growing business.

Get it now?

Run along and eat your rice.

Taxes are passed on to the consumer...So you want us to believe that wages and benefits have nothing to do with it???

You guys want cheap labor and an open sewer outside everyone's door...You pay so little the people in the host country can't even afford your products...You send them back to the U.S. to gouge the people here... No thanks...If you are so greedy you won't operate your business in this country, I say let's lock you out...

Go Trump Go...

Right!
Business taxes are all paid by individuals. Individual consumers in the form of higher prices, individual workers I the form of lower wages, or individual investors in the form of lower ROI.
So zeroing out business taxes benefits individuals.

The rest of your post is emotional whining. But at least you know business doesn’t pay tax.
