One wonders how this will go down with conservatives.

“For the wealthy I think frankly it is going to go up and, you know what, it really should go up,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Trump said that he sees his current tax plans, which would reduce taxes for the middle class and businesses and increase those for the wealthy, as a negotiating “floor” that may change in dealings with Congress.

    He also said “I wanna see voting laws so that ppl that are citizens can vote”. Wow. He is REALLY brushing up on his policy knowledge.

      Was he’s referring to the Supreme Court throwing out the Voting Rights Act which is already disenfranchising many citizens?

      Nah! Not possible. It’s Trump.

    >> Trump’s Tax Cuts Would Add $24.5 Trillion to the Debt

    Trump got richer after declaring bankruptcy while leaving others to pay his debts.

    Do his followers understand that _they_ will be the ones left holding the bag after Trump bankrupts the country?

    Does Trump even pay taxes? Where are his pre-2000 to 2015 Corp and personal with all those losses! HRC already released she and Clinton42’s joint tax returns from 1977-2015!

    The Buffet Rule 30% minimum tax on $1 M net income and above is favored by 2/3 of M/Billionaires. “68% of millionaires (those with investments of $1 million or more) support raising taxes on those with $1 million or more in income. Fully 61% of those with net worths of $5 million or more support the tax on million-plus earners.”-WSJ. http://blogs.wsj.com/wealth/2011/10/27/most-millionaires-support-warren-buffetts-tax-on-the-rich/

      Democrats should put out a DAILY CALL to ALL Media Outlets for Trump’s TAX RECORDS!

      make it the NUMBER 1 ISSUE at every news conference, open spot or message to the American people. With a joint effort, I’m sure AMERICA can find Donald John Trump’s MISSING TAX RECORDS.

      eg: Hillary commercial.
      Hello America, well, I’m still looking for Donald John Trump’s MISSING TAX RECORDS – how about you.
      – (then commercial)
      – ending:
      Remember – we’ll NEVER know how bad the US Economy was under POTUS Obama until we FULLY REVIEW Donald John Trump’s MISSING TAX RECORDS.

    Sunday: “Tax the rich more. Raise the minimum wage”
    Monday: “Tax the rich less. Don’t change the minimum wage.”
    Tuesday: “Never mind what I’ve previously said. You have to remember — I’m completely unpredictable.”

    option C

    have your auditors hold all tax info hostage until another country pays the ransom demands

    According to his recent tax policy proposal, the tax cuts he proposes would benefit the richest taxpayers in both real dollars and percentages, would decrease government revenue nearly $10 trillion in the first decade, and without massive spending cuts, would increase debt to 80% of GDP by the 2nd decade. How can you both cut taxes for everybody (including corporations) and ALSO raise taxes on certain segments of the population? Is that like the stores who double the price on an item, and then sell it at th regular price and claim a 50% savings passed on to you, the customer?
