Donald Trump seems to be winging it, but other times he acts with clockwork timing and political precision. The unveiling of his tax plan comes at exactly the right moment, when he needed to deliver something substantive.
Its contents are a mixture of center-right reforms and populist juice that will probably go over very well with a broad swath of the American electorate, although economists of both Left and Right will take issue with his proposals, for widely divergent reasons.
Trump’s unveiling of the tax plan was a tremendous performance. Part of the secret to his success is that he sounds like what many people imagine they would sound like, given a megaphone to shout their discontent into the faces of the U.S. political establishment. That’s why Trump’s popularity doesn’t seem to take much of a hit when he gets rough with likable inflection in his voice. The tax plan in a nutshell on the next page:
If you don’t like giving non-workers your money you may wish to consider Trump’s plan. If I was a young man making $8 / hr and knew I got $480 to take home in stead of <$320 I would certainly be happier. If I was a couple and knew I could count on keeping as much as I could (together ) make I wouldn't be depressed at the prospect of working several jobs to pay the government and myself. I'd work my butt off joyfully because I knew every extra cent was OURS! That is true incentive. People quit working when extra hours does not equate to increased pay.
Like it!
Donald Trump! Donald Trump!
Keep it up whitey
No taxation without representation, we got representation but dumbases still keep voting for them.
Keep it up whitey
His plan won’t work
The president doesn’t run our country. Congress does. Trump and these other candidates are just making promises.
It’s Ronald Reagan all over again
In TRUMP I TRUST for President 2016!!!!!
