The proposal will reiterate Trump’s plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%, Stephen Moore, who is the chief economist for the Heritage Foundation, and of one of the men on Trump’s 13-member economic advisory team that the Republican presidential candidate announced Friday, said.

I *wish* DT (hell, anyone on the Right) would lay out the skinny.

Tax CUTS = Nothing needs to be PAID for one to KEEP their OWN $$. Property($$) does not belong to Fedzilla.

That, too!

There is no specific law that prohibits the Feds from enslaving the citizenry or the world so they are doing such.

The talking point for tomorrow will be along the lines of “How will he PAY for it!”.

Disolve the Dedpt. of Education " EPA " BML " IRS NO MORE BILLIONS TO COUNTRIES THAT HATE US - whose goal is to kill us, every last one. etc etc

AND - Make this statement and DO IT "I'll do the above and then I'll return the over 2 trillion dollars they embezzled from Social Security - AND keep social security - which Ia NOT welfare, Not 'entitlement - ONLY for Seniors who worked all their lives and paid into ti. Those on welfare/entitlement programs will be paid from general funds. "

“Start running the country the day after the election. Tell one half the federal workforce that they will be laid off one year after the inauguration. If they quit before Dec 31 THIS YEAR they will receive 2 years pay(minus benefits). Watch the exodus.”

Corporations do that all the time to weed out employees and to reduce their payroll.

You mean those in the crowd are the welfare degenerates cheering for their pay raises.

Increasing the debt by $17 trillion under Obama doesn’t seem to bother anybody.

The problem is if Trump is explicit about how he’s going to slash gov’t programs, he’ll lose a lot of votes.

It’s better that he be as vague as possible about spending cuts.

Otherwise, it’s back to the “Romney 47% of the voters” problem where Romney was recorded saying he wouldn’t get votes from the 47%.

Obama didn't increase the debt by $17 trillion.

But liberal voters WANT to pay taxes.

At least they want others to pay taxes. I know a liberal couple and some years ago we were having a discussion about politics while building a deck for his pool. He claimed he considered it a privilege to pay his taxes - later on I overheard his wife telling someone that they were using the expenses of the deck against a rental property to dodge the taxes on the deal. I would imagine that if the IRS were to audit a lot more liberals they might come into a bonanza of unpaid taxes....

"He needs to promote this"

Tomorrow the 8th, at the Detroit Economic Club, it will be officially unveiled. FWIW this venue is more than your average rubber chicken dinner at the local COC or BBB. For all the crap Detroit gets, this venue is a place were power players go to speak...

Here is Ronaldus Maximus @ the venue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAl4vt401EY

Did you see Trumps latest ad where he shows Hillary shrieking “I AM GOING TO RAISE TAXES ON THE MIDDLE CLASS!” and the audience claps and cheers, and who should be sitting right next to Hillary? Why Warren Buffett himself, the multi-billionaire who made his billions pushing paper, and we see him clapping as well! Trump should show that ad CONSTANTLY all the way up to the election. Actually he has other things in the ad as well, including Hillarys comment about short circuiting, but that one part of her saying she is going to raise taxes of the middle class is devastating. Here it is if you want to see it...........

Except that she is saying "We aren't going to raise taxes on the middle class." It's a bad commercial by Trump and is going to fail.

Perfect! She pollutes the airwaves with lots of lies and crap and he spends a few bucks for solid gold messaging.

She's toast and the butter has gone rancid....We all need to double down by sending money to Trump and keeping FR funded - I have a good feeling about this election and it's been a long time since that happened - last time was Bush's first term - before we found out how "compassionate" his "compassionate conservatism" was...

What are you suggesting, he edited out the word “aren’t”? I’ll have to see her actual speech.
