Trump’s wealth is in real estate - the value of American land. You can’t export that.

Works if you have a loud enough megaphone and carry a big stick. Pence was ineffective at both.

But raising taxes on anyone, an outcome Trump just re-endorsed, is not what his formal policy agenda proposes

Just wait until he is in office. Those tons of promises, like the huge beautiful wall, will vanish.

He will rule like a king from the left.

The Cruz people are hurling insults - again.

Waaaaaaaaa, fricking cry baby.

What insults?

The conversation thus far is how The Don is wanting to tax the rich (really the middle class), is pro abortion and is really for amnesty as he said in interviews.

I would say The Don who is the one who is insulting to even be in the race for president

His tax plan is on his position statements site. Rule of thumb here. Cruz lies,so you have to go to the original source for anything Cruz claims Trump said

“But to Trumpbots, this won’t matter.”

I one of ‘em — a Trump supporter — and it matters to ME. I think the most wealthy person should be taxed at exactly the same percentage rate as the poorest person.

When you begin removing the incentives to become wealthy, eventually people lose their ambitions. People’s hopes and dreams become nonexistent, or mediocre at best. As the number of wealthy decreases, the opportunities they can provide to the others, via jobs, etc., also decrease. We become a plain vanilla society.

I don’t like this idea of Trump’s at all.

“Wow.. Trump’s on a roll today. Trannies, abortion and taxes..”

I disagree with Trump on taxes, but it isn’t a “today” thing; he’s always said he raise taxes on the rich. Pay attention.

Is that so...

How about YOU pay attention?

Tell us where you’re seeing mention of yesterday’s announced tax hike in his plan (and please don’t insult yourself by claiming the lessening of deductions for the wealthy qualifies as a “tax hike.”)

“If tax rates were lowered economic activity would increase and tax revenues to the government would increase. Isn’t that what Reaganomics was all about? If Trump is saying that the rich would pay more incomes taxes at the lower rates he is correct.”

That is exactly what Trump has been saying all along but the Cruzbots NEVER listen to Trump, they just pounce. Cruzbots are no different than the liberals.

Thanks, altura,

Your generalised slagging of non Cruz people is noted.
My post was not composed for people like you, the dimwitted.

According to Trump’s tax plan which hasn’t changed since he introduced it 6 months ago, you and hotair the rhino site are both full of shite. Trump’s tax plan lowers everyone’s income tax rates. He is saying and has repeatedly said the wealthy who pay no income tax because of some asinine tax loopholes need to have those loopholes removed. I agree, and you what want to give a free ride while the middle class bail the wealthiest out?

Now Cruz wants to tax us all more, a lot more with his VAT tax, that is an undefensivable position no conservative should support. But then you aren’t a conservative are you, Goldman Sachs boy!

On the subject of bathrooms, Trump probably has more practical experience with restroom issues than all of this year’s presidential candidates combined. Remember he has had hotels, casinos, etc. serving the public. He says the transgender thing has simply not been an issue. Either he is lying, or knows from managerial experience which I consider the more likely case.

I don’t ever vote for lawyers...especially Harvard educated ones. They are divorced from real society and real people.
