GOP frontrunner Donald Trump unveiled his tax plan this morning. And, predictably, it’s getting mixed reviews like the candidate himself. Indeed, you might think the interpretations of Trump’s tax plan are a Rorshach test revealing the biases of the reviewer, when you see one source describing the plan as “populist-sounding,” while the next claims the plan “proves” Trump is “not a populist.” Some worried about the cost of the plan — including the candidate himself, who proclaimed his own plan will cost him “a fortune” — while one labeled it a “con that benefits corporations and the wealthiest Americans.”
One of the more interesting commentaries, perhaps, came from conservative talker Rush Limbaugh, who offered his evaluation of Trump’s plan on his Monday radio show. Mr. Limbaugh suggested that, despite the criticism the proposal has received from both ends of the political spectrum, Trump’s plan is actually similar to one of the most popular Republican presidents of all time. Yep, Rush points out the similarities between Donald Trump’s tax plan and President Ronald Reagan’s.

Meh.
His tax plan is ok. His healthcare plan makes me nervous. If we cede that healthcare is a responsibility of government we will never ever gain a permanent win. Government should be sure the free market works fairly. Number one there needs to be more cost accountability directly to the recipient of services, competition, and full disclosure before services are rendered. There are many fixes than need to happen in that corrupt industry. But a government takeover is not one of them. Neither is heavy regulation and control. You NEVER cut costs by adding costs.
I fear this issue is beyond hope. The left will always march out some pitifully sick person with some sob story and the voters will vote that the government fund a foolhardy fix so long as it is not their personal pocket being picked. Let the rich pay. Since even those pockets are not bottomless, the full disaster of the plan will keep unfolding.
Have you seen first hand his health care proposal?
The tax plan placates some of my concerns but I’m not yet in the Trump camp by any means.
Cruz is the only one I trust
Trust and verify...
Levin said today that Reagan could have put out Trump’s tax plan.
I love President Ronald Reagan.

Stop spreading untruths! Trump does NOT propose a government run system or single payer or such. His system is based on increased competition among insurers and much more freedom to choose the plan you need and can afford.

Oh his healthcare plan makes you nervous! Poor baby, what are the other goobers in the presidential race proposing? What? Do you just want to dump poor and low income people? We could take the $ from planned parenthood and put it towards the poor!
What are the plans of you preferred candidate? What? What? I can’t hear you? Do they have a plan? Oh, the press is only asking for policy proposals from Mr. Trump? Why is that? What is wrong with your bed wetters?
Me too, only good president in my 5 decades+ in America. Well JFK was not too bad, as he also cut taxes.
did “we” have a plan before obamacare?
Do we NEED the governments “participation” and overlording of everything in our lives?
That might just be a tad presumptuous no??
Mark would know!
In his book “The America We Deserve” Trump touts single payer
