Trump has been all over the place on taxes over the years. He criticized President Obama for not wanting to keep the Bush tax cuts in place on the wealthiest Americans. He has also proposed eliminating the so-called “estate tax” on people that inherit money, gifts and property from their parents. Both moves would be a major gain for the rich.

Now Trump is starting to sound more populist.

“The middle class built this country, not the hedge fund guys,” he said Wednesday.

This why nobody listens to you people. Either you’re uninformed, intentionally obtuse, or just flat out lying. Which is it?

Death Taxes KILL off small farmers. It's NOT just the uber wealthy who have stuff and money to leave their kids! And besides, the uber wealthy have many different ways to "hide" money, etc. from PROBATE and death taxes.

What's the matter with YOU, that you have such hatred and contempt for people who have a couple of more bucks than you have?

The estate tax is an unfair tax since the deceased already paid taxes on the money.
