“I’m not looking to increase taxes,” but criticized “hedge fund guys” who are “paying very little tax” or “no tax,” should “pay some tax”
WHY?.. Why should they pay more tax?..
ALL Americans are taxed way too much by the federal givernment.. All of them..
A glimpse of Trump views on TAXES.. just a glimpse..
A democrat could not have THAT any better...
Trump has NO problem with TAXING at all.. or with a ROGUE federal Leviathan..
As Long as it’s ORGANIZED BETTER.. more efficiently..
CRUZ WOULD GUT THAT BEAST... thats the difference..
You cut off the part of the quote about Trump wanting to lower most people’s taxes.
Actually, Trump has yet to release his tax plan.
However, the old Bush tax plan that we got all gaga about was a 3 tiered plan that went approximately: 10, 15, 25, 35 for various social classes. They lowered capital gains.
Now, believe it or not, Trump says “the rich should pay more.” Guess what. Looking at Bush’s plan that everyone fought for, dissed Tom Daschle over, and went to the wall over, ALSO taxes the rich more.
Trump’s plan in 2011 was 1, 5, 10, 15. Now, believe it or not, his taxes the rich more, too, but one heck of a lot less than Bush did.
Personally, I think the budget is so much larger that he’s going to have to go with 2, 10, 20, 30. But, again, that’s lower than what we previously fought a war with democrat senators over (back when we used to fight democrat senators).
And to say ‘hedge fund managers’ pay too little, does not mean all will be taken from them. I think he wants their proceeds also to be considered income. Personally, I agree with that. Just because I have to work for a living doesn’t mean my money isn’t important to me. So, if it’s income, then it’s at the rate of 1,5,10, or 15. If Trump updates that, then it will be at more.
But it will still be less than or equal to what we sainted the early George W. Bush over. (Also, Trump wants to lower capital gains taxes.)
You are amazingly obtuse or deliberately so. How you can take a small thread and weave it into an outlandish accusation created solely to denounce and denigrate Trump is a sight to behold. Your real problem is that we are not as stupid as you think we are. A statement that someone who makes millions on hedge fund deals should pay SOME tax is not in any shape or form recognizable in your rant.
You’d better get back on your meds before you lose it entirely.
