Trump wants to raise taxes on the rich

**grease lightnin** · 08-27-15, 05:15 PM

I already posted this in the Trump thread but this needs its own thread. Mark my words boys, if he keeps up with this, it will shake things up bigtime. I can actually see shit getting done in Washington with Trump as president. If the Koch bros don't find a way to assasinate him first, that is.

Why do we have to pay taxes when the government is printing money nonstop

**pavyracer** · 08-27-15, 05:35 PM

Taxes should be banned. Government doesn't need taxes to operate.

Actually they stopped in October of last year. I would answer this but I am assuming it was a tongue in cheek.

when trump uses rhetoric like this, he sounds like the career politicians that he loves to mock.

**ABEHONEST** · 08-27-15, 06:39 PM

Trump is toying with his opponents. No comp!

Here's Donald Trump's opponent's problem. While they're playing he's playing this

Trump wants to raise taxes on the rich. From an interview with Bloomberg yesterday:

"I would say that the hedge fund people make a lot of money and they pay very little tax. I'm about the middle class. I want the middle class to be thriving again. We're losing our middle-class. ...*I would let people that are making hundreds of millions of dollars a year pay some tax, because right now they're paying very little tax, and I think it's outrageous. I want to lower taxes for the middle class."

Asked if he was proposing to raise taxes on himself, Trump replied: "That's right. That's right. I'm okay with it, ready, willing. And you've seen my statements. I mean I do very well. I don't mind paying some tax. The middle class is getting clobbered in this country. The middle class built this country, not the hedge fund guys. But I know people in hedge funds, they pay almost nothing, and it's ridiculous, okay?"

How do you like them apples, GOP? This is fukkin great!!

even if he really wanted to he couldnt pull this off

He's going to get us out of debt by offshoring jobs then lending our name to properties, only to avoid lawsuits claiming we only included our brand. We'll claim bankruptcy on some projects and make out like bandits.

Oh I forgot. He knows the Chinese. He likes them. They are smart. But he is smarter.

oh lord that would be a blessing, whoever your sheep herder is please tell him I said thank you!

**swordsandtequila** · 08-28-15, 11:11 AM

So he's running as an independent? Sure as hell won't get the backing of the GOP thinking like that.

**khicks26** · 08-28-15, 11:16 AM

So Trump is going to raise tax's on himself, BS. Even if he does raise tax's what is he going to do with it. How many jobs will he create with it? Will those jobs even have a real wage that people can live on? Trumps a businessman, if he runs the country like a business. He will want to pay the lowest wage possible, without real wages there will be no middle class. Now if he said something like I am going to raise tax's on the rich to rebuild our infrastructure & create jobs while raising the min-wage. He might have something.

More than likely he is going to raise tax's on rich people he don't like, & give it to rich people that he does like. Like himself & Trump industries. No way is this guy genuine IMO.

think he is bad? check out the democrats since JFK if you want to see people who are not genuine to the people they pandered to for votes. And now it looks like Hillary and you're talking not being genuine. You can at least appreciate the irony?
