So you think Trump is anti-semitic?

Since he has all the money he needs to live the rest of his years in grandeur, I don’t think he is in it for fun, or attention. I think it is legacy. To actually make a difference - and if his ego is as large as most claim, legacy will drive him to the end of the earth.

And he is truly patriotic. Tired of seeing this once great nation kissing the a$$es of little two bit nations.

So are the rest of us.

I know I didn’t spend 10 years of my life all over the planet fighting for the nation I see today.

Just releasing one actual white paper on immigration policy is more than any other candidate. Immigration is a great start.

Tax policy has also been more heavily outlined by Trump than anyone else as well. You’d be hard pressed to name the tax policy of any other candidate.

Maybe he should hire some IT folks to do his site instead of just Twitter?

The article was nothing but slander of the riotous right.

His tax policy is just more of the same: A graduated income tax. Straight out of the goals of Marx and Engels.

What nonsense are you going on about now? They still sell those plastic models at Hobby Lobby. Or maybe board games or Magic The Gathering? Knitting or crochet, perhaps?

He's running for the highest office in the land. His website should tell the citizenry where he stands without having to pay him for the privilege.

Do you want to know, or do you want to bitch?

I'm sure Jeb's website has everything laid out just as you'd like it.

How'd you find that out?

I learned it on Free Republic.

Do you have contrary information?

I sure didn't learn it from his website, which is almost substance-free.

If Trump supporters want to have a war with conservatives, this is exactly how to provoke one.

Donald Trump on Tax Reform
2000 Reform Primary Challenger for President

4 brackets; 1-5-10-15%; kill death tax & corporate tax
My 5-part tax plan involves reforming the income tax. The government confiscates way too much of your paycheck. The tax code is also a very complicated system that forces Americans to waste 6.1 billion hours a year trying to figure it out.

What does that tell you? It tells me that it’s time we restore simplicity & sanity to the income tax. Here’s my income tax plan:

Up to $30,000, you pay 1%
From $30,000 to $100,000, you pay 5%
From $100,000 to $1 million, you pay 10%
On $1 million or above, you pay 15%

It’s clear and fair. Best of all, it can be filled out on the back of a postcard and will save Americans big bucks on accountants and massive amounts of time wasted attempting to decipher the tax code.

Our country is hungry for real tax reform. That’s why we should implement the 1-5-10-15 income tax plan. And we need to enact [the rest of] my 5-part tax policy: kill the death tax; lower the tax on capital gains & dividends; eliminate corporate taxes; and a 20% import tax.

If "Conservatives" continue to employ snark and passive aggression as their tool of persuasion, I think it will be a short war.

Just waiting for you to demonstrate how difficult it was for you to get the answers you complained about.

It’s very difficult, actually, to sort out Trump’s positions, from historically left of Obama and Clinton to wherever he’s currently landing on the right in his current incarnation.

Especially when there’s a grand total of ONE position listed on his official campaign website.
