I lose anywhere between 25% and 35% of the money I bust my ass for to government confiscation (taxes). Either cut taxes drastically or redirect that money from killing people with melanin to some programs that will actually benefit me. Since that latter is highly unlikely under Republicans and Democrats, let's go with the former, cut my motherfukking taxes.
Under trumps plan it's the super wealthy that get the biggest cuts. Middle class will be pretty much the same.

@Poitier is a big dummy though :smh:

I don't doubt it, after all, Trump is a bourgeois politician and there's no movement forcing any systemic concessions to the working class.

I blocked Poitier months ago so I can't see what that moron is saying :heh:

You heard of Jeremy Corbyn? The New labour party leader in the UK... This is his exact idea. Imo theres better ways of doing this but id roll witvit :manny:

Not exactly

Corbyn thinks he can spend while cutting the deficit which is selling dreams.

Thats why you print the money and instead of giving QE to the rich, you give it to the people and public goods projects that benefit them...

But can't do that, the deficit will bankrupt the country not like we aren't on a ticking bubble anyways :troll:

Why support Trump though? His plan is aimed at relieving the tax burden of the very wealthy. People making less than 50K won't see any changes. It's a ruse. A cunning attempt to fool the populace.

Sounds like you should be supporting someone like Bernie Sanders. Because I guarantee, as sure as water is wet, if Trump tax cuts are passed, the first thing to get the ax will be public goods project. Any program that supports the Poor and middle class or investments in education and infrastructure will be the first things on the chopping block.

Just look at what is happening in Louisiana and Wisconsin.

I am a Bernie sanders supporter...

I don't endorse trump but he has some ideas I like that I can't say the same for other candidates

Don't support rich people tax cuts but anyone talking down on deficits or tax cuts for poor people repeal of nafta or universal healthcare is a fool

Whether trump is being truthful isn't my concern and that's a metric all these candidates would fail

All this talk about debt we can always have the Federal Reserve monetize all our debt. Problem solved. :troll:


edit: in fact next recession that's exactly what's going to happen. not all of it but still.... can't really lower rates anymore unless they want to go negative which won't happen.

From one of the best analyst doing it:

Look, Trump’s Policies Are Nativist Populism
2015 AUGUST 31
tags: Bernie Sanders, Donal Trump, Jeremy Corbyn, Labour Party Primary
by Ian Welsh

He supports Social Security.

He wants universal healthcare (something better than Obamacare, which is not universal healthcare).

He believes in a bilateral trade policy rather than “free trade.”

Now Trump wants to increase taxes on the rich, including getting rid of the carried interest exemption, which would hammer hedge fund managers and so on, whom Trump is correct about: They build nothing—in fact, they are a drain on the economy, straight and simple.

This is married to a nasty, anti-immigrant side, of course, and to some equally nasty social positions. However, on economics Trump is proposing some stuff that any progressive should want, and which has been anathema to the Republican party since Reagan. (In 2000, Trump was for some stuff, like eliminating capital gains taxes, a position with which everyone should agree.)

Moreover, he is winning with these proposals, showing that right wing economic populism is still powerful: It was simply not being represented by the Republican party (or the Democratic party, for that matter).

Trump, Sanders, and Corbyn are all showing what is actually possible, if you dare to propose it. Positions which have polled with majorities for decades are not death to politicians. Who knew?

Corbyn and Trump, in particular, have been vilified and ridiculed by the Press, yet both are winning their respective elections. Ten years ago, such vilification worked. A candidate could propose those policies showing well in the polls, yet still lose the primaries.

Today, this doesn’t work, because people have had it; they know that just because a politician is favored by the press does not mean that politician will help them, and, in fact, will most likely make their lives worse. They know this because the politicians to whom the press and the establishment have granted their approval, for over 40 years, have (with only a few hiccups) have made their lives worse.

Meanwhile, if trend lines continue, Sanders will take the Democratic nomination (though, of course, trend lines may not continue).

This is a realignment moment: People are no longer willing to put up with politics (and economics) as usual. All three men, if they win, will have mandates. They have been running honestly on what the press and establishment consider “radical” policies (the population does not agree, and never has. Americans, in particular, said they were right wing and consistently polled as wanting rich people taxed, along with various other populist policies).

Expect the vilification to continue, and if Sanders continues to make ground, expect the press to turn from largely ignoring him, to attacking him.

Looks like Brits and Americans may finally, after about 30 years, have a chance to vote again for something other than Tweedledee or Tweedledum.

Look, he came up with a tremendous plan that has all the economists, tax specialists, and professors going, "Why didn't anyone come up with this sooner?" And he's gotten a lot of people talking about all kinds of things. OK? People will be saving so much money under his tax plan that they'll be wondering what they will do with all of it. Trust Trump. OK? He's a tremendous guy with an amazing plan that will make America great again.
LMAOOOOOOOO

The only thing this was missing was the "The plan is gonna be so amazing it's going make your head spin" shyt that he loves to use
