Remember Trump's idea to supertax the superrich?
Edited on Sat Apr-23-11 08:16 AM by Onlooker
Trump had one brilliant idea that last time he toyed with running for President:

CNN.com: November, 1999:

Trump, a prospective candidate for the Reform Party presidential nomination, is proposing a onetime net worth tax on individuals and trusts worth 10 million or more. By Trumps calculations, his proposed 14.25 percent levy on such net worth would raise 5.7 trillion and wipe out the debt in one full swoop.

The net worth tax is the cornerstone of Trump's economic plan released Tuesday morning.

"No one has put forward a plan to make this country entirely debt free as we enter the next millenium," Trump said in a written statement.

7. Considering that he's calling for a 25% tariff on Chinese goods
It would be a stretch to say he's being a shill for the super-rich (who make money hand-over-foot with stock dividend profits made possible with Chinese labor rates).

2. More important....
...Trump wants everyone to know that Obama is an alien, and was born with a bone thru his nose, and is from some wild native tribe in Africa. He doesn't have a birth certificate!!!!!!!!!!!!
