Deep in your subconscious minds you are all RINOS

During his “60 Minutes” interview Sunday, Republican presidential front-runner appeared to come out in favor of a form of single payer health insurance for the uninsured ... and openly called for raising taxes on the wealthy.

Breitbart and Newsmax threw Trump under the bus when his numbers didn’t continue to rise. Both are big RINO Carly supporters now. it’s almost like the same man owns both sites.
Im not certain that hes yet published a full set of position papers.
Were still over a year out from the election
IOW, to put your post bluntly - Those with TDS are disingenuous assholes.
I would totally agree with you, except for the fact that the government, at all levels, has it's greedy corrupt hands in every aspect of medicine and health care.
Some I didn't use to mind supporting(investing in)via taxes.
The CDC, FDA,various experimental medical/drug research projects etc, that were supposed to benefit everyone, but never seem to cut any consumer level costs.
Have you checked out the price of Insulin?
One would think it should be about the cost of OTC aspirin by now, and yet it is not.
And let's look at Medicare.It was supposed to take older and high risk/unhealthy people off insurance rate books, so as to not drive up the costs of basic insurance costs for everyone else.
Remember that program? Pay a little bit every paycheck your whole working life, betting that you might need it later on?
There's even a line on every pay stub I have for that!
Medicaid was supposed to be in lieu of state/county/local charity care for the most destitute of people for basic medical care. Not for foreign illegal aliens who need kidney dialysis or open heart surgery.
Not for the people who just didn't want to pay a walk-in clinic medical provider $50 for a non-emergency exam, for common health care needs, like a bout of strep throat.
And it was always funded by state/county and local taxes. Varied by State.Then the Feds got into the act.
Hank, you and I NEVER paid ONLY for our own healthcare.
It just wasn't such a huge deal, until the States and Feds decided to force everyone to pay even more out of pocket premiums and deductibles, on top of what we were all already paying, to increase funding to the medical insurance industry and State and local government regulators(revenuers).
No, I'm not for “single payer”.
An accounting of funds already paid would be nice, though.
As would requiring published price lists from all medical providers.
They’ve got nothing else better to do - OH! But they pin their hopes on a man who is showing a whopping 6 percent in the polls - consistently a near the bottom in every poll.
Well, you know, those with TDS are smarter than every other individual on FR ... Hell, they’re convinced of their intellectual superiority over every American - just ask them!
Humility is not one of their better virtues ... I guess that is why they so intensely despise Trump - they do not like the competition.
“Jeb’s got 100 million to spend. He might have some ‘community activists’ here...”
As in little ACORNs? Oh, yes - but we just call them “nuts.”
Oh! OH! B-b-b-but it’s not Ted Cruz saying it - so none of this stuff matters! Have you not figured that out yet?
If it is not Ted, then it must be some eeeeevil liberal plant, pretending to be conservative.
Don’t you just enjoy watching the SNOBS’ heads explode each time “non-specific” Trump comes out with a kick-ass position paper that blows all his competition out of the water before they even know what hit ‘em?
“What about the shareholders? They’ll go broke and starve!”
Yes, but then they’ll be beneath the $50,000 threshold, if married, and will not be paying any tax ... I can hear the TDS crowd now - “Oh, it’s just not fair!”
Trump is doing important work in exposing the GOPe. He’s beat the living daylights out of Jeb, that’s for sure.
“The Trump plan is by far the most comprehensive tax reform proposal since the Ronald Reagan era and has within it aspects which should please both lower income citizens and those hoping to start and/or maintain businesses. It’s primary message appears to be one of placing both money and business creation potential, and thus power, back into the hands of the American people and not the federal government.”
TAX REFORM THAT WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
The Goals Of Donald J. Trump’s Tax Plan
Too few Americans are working, too many jobs have been shipped overseas, and too many middle class families cannot make ends meet. This tax plan directly meets these challenges with four simple goals:
Tax relief for middle class Americans: In order to achieve the American dream, let people keep more money in their pockets and increase after-tax wages.
Simplify the tax code to reduce the headaches Americans face in preparing their taxes and let everyone keep more of their money.
Grow the American economy by discouraging corporate inversions, adding a huge number of new jobs, and making America globally competitive again.
Doesn’t add to our debt and deficit, which are already too large.
The Trump Tax Plan Achieves These Goals
If you are single and earn less than $25,000, or married and jointly earn less than $50,000, you will not owe any income tax. That removes nearly 75 million households – over 50% – from the income tax rolls. They get a new one page form to send the IRS saying, “I win,” those who would otherwise owe income taxes will save an average of nearly $1,000 each.
All other Americans will get a simpler tax code with four brackets – 0%, 10%, 20% and 25% – instead of the current seven. This new tax code eliminates the marriage penalty and the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) while providing the lowest tax rate since before World War II.
No business of any size, from a Fortune 500 to a mom and pop shop to a freelancer living job to job, will pay more than 15% of their business income in taxes. This lower rate makes corporate inversions unnecessary by making America’s tax rate one of the best in the world.
No family will have to pay the death tax. You earned and saved that money for your family, not the government. You paid taxes on it when you earned it.
The Trump Tax Plan Is Revenue Neutral
The Trump tax cuts are fully paid for by:
Reducing or eliminating most deductions and loopholes available to the very rich.
A one-time deemed repatriation of corporate cash held overseas at a significantly discounted 10% tax rate, followed by an end to the deferral of taxes on corporate income earned abroad.
Reducing or eliminating corporate loopholes that cater to special interests, as well as deductions made unnecessary or redundant by the new lower tax rate on corporations and business income. We will also phase in a reasonable cap on the deductibility of business interest expenses.
DETAILS OF DONALD J. TRUMP’S TAX PLAN
America needs a bold, simple and achievable plan based on conservative economic principles. This plan does that with needed tax relief for all Americans, especially the working poor and middle class, pro-growth tax reform for all sizes of businesses, and fiscally responsible steps to ensure this plan does not add to our enormous debt and deficit.
This plan simplifies the tax code by taking nearly 50% of current filers off the income tax rolls entirely and reducing the number of tax brackets from seven to four for everyone else. This plan also reduces or eliminates loopholes used by the very rich and special interests made unnecessary or redundant by the new lower tax rates on individuals and companies.
The Trump Tax Plan: A Simpler Tax Code For All Americans
When the income tax was first introduced, just one percent of Americans had to pay it. It was never intended as a tax most Americans would pay. The Trump plan eliminates the income tax for over 73 million households. 42 million households that currently file complex forms to determine they don’t owe any income taxes will now file a one page form saving them time, stress, uncertainty and an average of $110 in preparation costs. Over 31 million households get the same simplification and keep on average nearly $1,000 of their hard-earned money.
For those Americans who will still pay the income tax, the tax rates will go from the current seven brackets to four simpler, fairer brackets that eliminate the marriage penalty and the AMT while providing the lowest tax rate since before World War II:
Income Tax Rate Long Term Cap Gains/ Dividends Rate Single Filers Married Filers Heads of Household
0% 0% $0 to $25,000 $0 to $50,000 $0 to $37,500
10% 0% $25,001 to $50,000 $50,001 to $100,000 $37,501 to $75,000
20% 15% $50,001 to $150,000 $100,001 to $300,000 $75,001 to $225,000
25% 20% $150,001 and up $300,001 and up $225,001 and up
With this huge reduction in rates, many of the current exemptions and deductions will become unnecessary or redundant. Those within the 10% bracket will keep all or most of their current deductions. Those within the 20% bracket will keep more than half of their current deductions. Those within the 25% bracket will keep fewer deductions. Charitable giving and mortgage interest deductions will remain unchanged for all taxpayers.
Simplifying the tax code and cutting every American’s taxes will boost consumer spending, encourage savings and investment, and maximize economic growth.
Business Tax Reform To Encourage Jobs And Spur Economic Growth
Too many companies – from great American brands to innovative startups – are leaving America, either directly or through corporate inversions. The Democrats want to outlaw inversions, but that will never work. Companies leaving is not the disease, it is the symptom. Politicians in Washington have let America fall from the best corporate tax rate in the industrialized world in the 1980’s (thanks to Ronald Reagan) to the worst rate in the industrialized world. That is unacceptable. Under the Trump plan, America will compete with the world and win by cutting the corporate tax rate to 15%, taking our rate from one of the worst to one of the best.
This lower tax rate cannot be for big business alone; it needs to help the small businesses that are the true engine of our economy. Right now, freelancers, sole proprietors, unincorporated small businesses and pass-through entities are taxed at the high personal income tax rates. This treatment stifles small businesses. It also stifles tax reform because efforts to reduce loopholes and deductions available to the very rich and special interests end up hitting small businesses and job creators as well. The Trump plan addresses this challenge head on with a new business income tax rate within the personal income tax code that matches the 15% corporate tax rate to help these businesses, entrepreneurs and freelancers grow and prosper.
These lower rates will provide a tremendous stimulus for the economy – significant GDP growth, a huge number of new jobs and an increase in after-tax wages for workers.
The Trump Tax Plan Ends The Unfair Death Tax
The death tax punishes families for achieving the American dream. Therefore, the Trump plan eliminates the death tax.
The Trump Tax Plan Is Fiscally Responsible
The Trump tax cuts are fully paid for by:
Reducing or eliminating deductions and loopholes available to the very rich, starting by steepening the curve of the Personal Exemption Phaseout and the Pease Limitation on itemized deductions. The Trump plan also phases out the tax exemption on life insurance interest for high-income earners, ends the current tax treatment of carried interest for speculative partnerships that do not grow businesses or create jobs and are not risking their own capital, and reduces or eliminates other loopholes for the very rich and special interests. These reductions and eliminations will not harm the economy or hurt the middle class. Because the Trump plan introduces a new business income rate within the personal income tax code, they will not harm small businesses either.
A one-time deemed repatriation of corporate cash held overseas at a significantly discounted 10% tax rate. Since we are making America’s corporate tax rate globally competitive, it is only fair that corporations help make that move fiscally responsible. U.S.-owned corporations have as much as $2.5 trillion in cash sitting overseas. Some companies have been leaving cash overseas as a tax maneuver. Under this plan, they can bring their cash home and put it to work in America while benefitting from the newly-lowered corporate tax rate that is globally competitive and no longer requires parking cash overseas. Other companies have cash overseas for specific business units or activities. They can leave that cash overseas, but they will still have to pay the one-time repatriation fee.
An end to the deferral of taxes on corporate income earned abroad. Corporations will no longer be allowed to defer taxes on income earned abroad, but the foreign tax credit will remain in place because no company should face double taxation.
Reducing or eliminating some corporate loopholes that cater to special interests, as well as deductions made unnecessary or redundant by the new lower tax rate on corporations and business income. We will also phase in a reasonable cap on the deductibility of business interest expenses.

“Foreign relations plan? What do you think is next?”
I hope its his plan for those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)!
Been wondering the same thing myself for a while now - How many of the TDS Freepers are in truth members of the GOPe hit squad? How many are hold positions in FED GOV? How many work for Defense Contractors - the entities that regularly royally screw the American taxpayer by way of their “wet dream” programs ... Mega-bucks programs that spend billions, and either go nowhere, or else produce products that are substandard and not even close to what was promised in capabilities?
And the government’s war on religion has only exponentially escalated since ... the coup d’ grace being this latest abomination of “same-sex marriage” imposed by the black-robed tyrants of the SCOTUS, and the cocaine-snorting Musloid sodomite reprobate presently usurping the Presidency.
Yep.

Quote” Friendly Reminder: Donald Trump is a Radical Left-Winger
By Onan Coca / 12 August 2015 / 50 Comments
If you dig back through the Eagle Rising archives you’ll find that we’ve been more critical than positive of GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump. Now, I don’t want you to misunderstand… I think Trump is right on illegal immigration (and on what he now says about a few other issues), and I also think that he has struck a nerve with conservative base. However, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…
Donald Trump is NOT a conservative.
The man is 69 years old and we have proof that he was still very liberal at the age of 61… people don’t normally convert politically at such a mature age.
Trump has, in the past, expressed support for positions that are embraced by liberal voters, including abortion rights (though he has since said he is pro-life). The “Celebrity Apprentice” host also supported then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2008…
“His love for a socialist-style universal health care system and his alarming obsession with protectionist policies are automatic disqualifiers among free-market conservatives,” Club for Growth’s Chris Chocola said.

END ALL WELFARE BENEFITS!
Heavily fine, or confiscate and sell all the business assets of any entity caught hiring illegals - and please do not give me that load of horsesh*t that the business owner does not know he / she is hiring illegals - I’ve been in the construction industry long enough to understand that these cheap schmucks know full well who they are hiring - I know how the freaking game is played by these bastards.
Confiscate and sell their assets - then throw them in jail for 20 years. It would not take but a few to be made examples of, and the entire house of cards that is the underground labor market would collapse overnight.
“Sorry, Juan, but I has no yob fo ju!”
Oh, don’t you already suspect? He’s a Ted Turnip! You know - the guy who is polling at a whopping 6 percent in every poll taken?
Well, OK, perhaps he’s just got the hots for Carly!
Deep in your subconscious minds you are all RINOS
In fairness he did post Cruz policy and it had some good points in there.
Problem is, Ted is not going anywhere and someone needs to be elected other than Bush, Fiorina, Christie, or Rubio.
Ted Cruz is not catching fire.
The poll that’s out there putting him at 20% is just embarrassing. Hey, they’re buying it.
A day of reckoning is coming. Glad I won’t have to be sobbing in my beer when the pipe dream ends.
Yes, b/c we need a Cruz peg to fit that itchy round corn hole - right? Good luck with your SIX PERCENT WONDER BOY! Hey, perhaps he’ll get more votes for his candidacy for POTUS then he got today in the Senate on Defunding PP!
Ted is such a persuasive guy! Well, hey, at least he managed to persuade his CEO wife, Hedi, to take a “leave of absence” from her position at Goldman & Sachs ... Really not good imagery there - but is was just dandy while Hubby was doing his thing in the Senate all these years ... You know, the U.S. Senate - that place where they have influence over finance and banking regulations? Naw, no conflict of interest there at all! Teddy is just as clean as a new baby’s butt! He’s a regular Boy Scout!
“If we get a Republican president there’s no excuse for not repealing it.”
Yeah, sure ...
Just like if we just get a “Republican” House ... If we just get a “Republican” Senate?
Please, how much longer are you gonna run that tired old horse?
Let’s call the “Republicans” by there true ideological name: REPUBLOBAMACRATS!
Quit pissing on my leg and telling me it’s raining!
