Trump: Dont Make Corporations Pay Their Taxes
Republican economics has been stated a thousand ways by a thousand (always paid) voices. But the basic idea behind all the schemes has been hard to pin down. Finally Republican front-runner Donald Trump has spelled it out in a way anyone can understand ... Trump clearly articulates the Republican/Billionaire/Wall Street case for a low-or-zero tax on corporate profits: because they dont want to pay the tax. ... Never mind the decades of gibberish we have been subjected to about tax cuts increase revenue to the government and low taxes means more jobs ... Trump has spelled it out, once and for, that all this is really about because they dont want to pay the tax.

"Hey, every rich guy buys politicians. That's life!"
"They want tax-cuts because they don't want to pay taxes."

(19,460 posts)He is honest about it. Dems have been saying it for years and Donald just admitted it. You have to give a guy some credit for coming out and saying what the GOP has been thinking for the last 50 years. Personally, I am so glad Trump in on their team. He is making the entire GOP look like buffoons. Good for him.

(3,411 posts)And yet they have the audacity to accuse poor people of being moochers and sit on their high horse of "personal responsibility". So thus secretly they WANT to be moochers!

Hell Toupee just openly admitted it, as he has openly admitted so much of what drives repukes but remains unsaid.
