Someone finally listened. I’ve been searching for the new Ronald Reagan to “Make America Great Again.” I’ve argued in my last four books and hundreds of commentaries that taxes are too damn high on America’s risk-takers, job creators and business owners. I’ve pleaded for a dramatic Reagan-esque tax cut to supercharge the economy and create millions of new jobs. I’ve been searching for a president who would reward the economic engine of America – SMALL BUSINESS. And reward the people who value work ethic, personal responsibility and rugged individualism, over cradle to grave government dependency. That was how Reagan created the greatest economic expansion in world history – by incentivizing the only people who matter to an economy – the business owners, financial risk-takers and job creators. By God, I think we just found our new Reagan. His name is Donald Trump and his tax plan is Reagan squared. Conservatives remember Reagan’s smile, his jokes, his positive attitude. They think that was the key to Reagan’s success. But what made Reagan great was simple: cutting taxes from 70 percent to 28 percent. That reinvigorated investors and entrepreneurs and turned around the economy. That “Made America Great Again.” Trump’s tax plan will do exactly the same. In my new bestselling book “The Power of RELENTLESS” I give credit to Barack Obama for only one thing – he is relentless. I recommend that Republicans adopt his “never accept defeat, take no prisoners” mindset. What’s been missing from the GOP is a relentless fighter for lower taxes, for smaller government, for economic freedom, for more power to the people, a fighter who recognizes it’s not greedy to want to keep more of your own money...

B-But Mitt Romney today said Trump won’t be the nominee!
Reagan also took some of our trading partners to task. He forced Japan to manufacture in the U.S. And other select measures. I expect Trump will be more active in this arena than Reagan was, in part because unemployment and the trade deficits have gotten so much worse.
He did??? Maybe they are planning something sinister. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
Donald Trump Twitter: I will be interviewed by @donlemon tonight on @CNN at 10PM.
Trade is worse and the U.S. has lost in this area over many years.
Me too!

Here is another one from Jeff Bell:
“But populism is not just about popularity. Cutting taxes for individuals and families is a vote of confidence in the ability of ordinary people to make use of their income, rather than sending it on a round trip to government and other elites to decide what they need. It is far more like Ronald Reagan’s tax revolution, which focused on personal tax rate cuts rather than corporate incentives.”
Love Trump and Isay we all need a John Wayne in the White House. He(Trump) is the only one saying what has been wrong with this total fumble President and all the stuff he simply doesn’t consider part of the job!! Put a top on that. Trump knows what to do, who to call to get the job done and how things should work to make America strong again.
mumble, sputter, hack, spit, scowl, gritted teeth, expletives, some minor drooling...
Trump is not the next Reagan damn it!
He doesn’t need to be. Reagan didn’t need to be the next anybody. Neither does Trump.
You look at his agenda. You like it or not. You watch him and come to a conclusion of he has the drive or not. You watch what is going on around us and note if he has already changed things or not. You watch an see what the public is doing or isn’t.
Trump is doing just fine being Trump.
Reagan did a fantastic job of just being Reagan.
Reagan would approve of this tax plan 100%. I say this as a former campaign guy, and former employee. It actually goes much further than RR’s, All good. Reagan might have adopted ALL of this plan, had he been running 34 years later.
Nice!
I appreciate the comments. Glad to hear on another person thinks it’s a good plan, and especially in light of your former experience.
Obama raised cap gains on dividends, interest and appreciated stocks from 15% to 24%, so, why isn’t it brought back down to 15% again.
If corporations pay 15% why are peoples retirement dividends subject to a higher tax.
All the invested money was already taxed earnings that were saved by taxpayers and invested in the corporate economy and is used as seed money by business.
Apparently Mrs. Romney is riding Mitt’’s butt to RUN again. The word this morning is, he’s thinking about it. IF he does run, it will only be for two reasons, To get her off his back; and becausd the GOPe are desperate to split up the votes and hurt Trump.
Has he said or posted a policy about slashing regulations and dealing in the regulatory agencies?
That would be as big for business and risk taking as tax cuts.
This can’t work. Put the money back in the hands of individual people and let them spend it? Laughable. The goobamint has much more experience in spending and greasing the palms of important individuals and corporations.
Romney running who is going to vote for a guy who let them for no reason paint him as a Vampire who killed a woman by not paying for her medical plan. Even though he wasn’t in charge of Bain 5 years hence.
Romney who didn’t take on Obama at all in the 3rd debate.
Is Bush, Rubio, Carson, Fiorino, going to just check out of the race?
Seems, it just makes it easier for Trump, Carson and Cruz to gain better position. Romney has been running for president longer than my old car has been running on the road, and just like my old car Romney is worn out from running too long.
Well said.
Thanks.
