Trump announces he'll raise taxes on the wealthy

Calls CEO pay disgusting.

Said: "We’re going to be reducing taxes for the middle class. But for the hedge fund guys, they’re going to be paying up,” Trump said.

He didn't say it he plans on implementing fiscal socialism on JUST those working in the financial sector, or ALL people making big dollars.  I mean, if a hedge fund manager makes $300,000 then he will tax them higher.  He'd have to tax doctors and lawyers and CEOs at a higher rate also. 

Socialism.  Liberalism.  Don't deny it, impossible.

Im for that for a few years to get the debt paid down, and this would negatively affect me. Sometimes you have to stop the bleeding.

Sounds good.

Sounds good.

it's what liz warren and bernie sanders want too.  Hilary will actually be easier on millionaires than trump lol.


It'd be interesting to hear what repub supporters of Trump have to say about him raising taxes on the wealthy.

The republican base, white trash Southern racists Arent wealthy, just the opposite in fact, so why would they care?

Trump is a nut, but in a way he is making the GOP a party of the common people.

I asked this in another thread, if he is going to be the great unifier Obama was supposed to be.

Let me get this straight, is he saying he will raise taxes on himself? I call bullshit!

He's definitely not "middleclass" which is a ridiculous term that would be better stated as middle-income, since having money has nothing to do with having class.

[240 is Back]

is he ONLY going to raise taxes on those working in the financial sector?  I'd guess not, as that'd be freakin' insane.  "If you are a lawyer, we tax you at 30%.  If you are a banker, we tax you are 60%".  LOL, watch how many "job titles" change haha.

Biden said it was patriotic for the wealthy to pay more in taxes, and repubs were vocal and hated all over it.

Trump says it's "greatness" to tax the wealthy... and Crickets...

Who said Obama was some great unifier? The republican base will never get behind a N*****.

Even if he was capable of such a feat, witch i highly doubt, it would be impossible when you have a propaganda Network like FOX working 24/7 to discredit your every move

My son-in-law gave me an interesting perspective on this Trump fiasco. What if the Donald is making all these outlandish statements just to prove that any idiot with mucho bucks can get elected  to be Chief of Staff in the U.S. As we also discussed that he may actually be successful in achieving his personal desires for additional exaltation  because the voting public is that gullible.

there are lots of possibilities.  he's lifelong friends with the clintons - they sit in the front pew at his wedding.

If he decides to quit tomorrow, what are his 3 biggest accomplishments? 

1) Called other repubs punk names
2) Prevented ANY other repub from getting huge coverage for america
3) Stole a LOT of coverage that emailgate wuld have gotten

SO FAR... she's been great for dems and shitty for repubs.  Will that change?

All good points, of which I cannot argue.

This election cycle holds promise that the game is more interesting than ever.

You have got to love how the elections are played out on Getbig. This one seems to have started sooner than pervious ones. When all is said an done, we can argue to the death of us and it changes nothing. This is because most of the folks here don't bother to vote. Still the process is kind of amusing, wouldn't you say? Uncle Joon and his comrades stand to make big bucks if they bet successfully on the final results.

It may consist of white trash southern racists and non wealthy people...But you forget about the majority which are a much more important demographic.

And who is the majority?

I wonder what biden thinks of the half of americans that pay no income tax?

actually he has done a favor to the reps...if obama has taught us anything its that the less you know about a candidate the better it is for them

Im all for the rich paying more as well but the fact is 50% dont pay any income tax. I need at least a little skin in the game from everyone before you start talking about raising taxes on others.

If he decides to "play" 300 million people, I think there could be problems. Like he's just gonna say, "nah, I just wanted to see if I could win,  give it to my VP." The general public would riot. I'd say the more believable CT would be 240's.

I'm not arguing the position.   

I'm saying it's very clear that Trump is taking a major democrat position, while running as a republican. 

The same folks shitting on Biden/Obama for wanting to tax the rich are surprisingly quiet when Trump says the EXACT SAME THING.

props for that.   I take it you're the last repub standing on getbig, who isn't falling under Twump's spell?

They use the common "I'm not saying I vote for him, but I like some of his ideas..."

That's a cheap cop-out for wanting to back this lifetime dem, but not having the balls.

man, i agree with all of that. 

One can only imagine what kind of 'bag of crap' candidate we'll see after President Trump.

I'm thinking you'll never get to vote for Trump.

[polychronopolous]

I made that comment several years ago.

Obama was such a shitty president that it cost the democrat party 20 years.

And now the end result is a candidate like Trump gaining traction.
