Here he was a few days ago naming himself as the candidate who advocates for hedge fund managers to pay higher taxes:
Donald Trump Sees Himself as Bernie Sanders
And here he was last August, calling for higher tax rates:
Thanks. In both cases he is talking about rich people he knows “who now pay very little tax”. The example he cites specifically is loopholes in the way carried interest is taxed that allow hedge fund traders to pay almost nothing. Saying he would close these loopholes and make certain wealthy people pay a fair tax rate is far different than saying he will raise taxes on the rich. Conflating the two is disingenuous and misrepresents Trump’s tax plan. Again, read his actual tax plan. If you think his stated tax plan is a lie and that he will actually raise rates on the high income brackets I.e. soak the rich like a democrat, then that’s your opinion, but please don’t misrepresent his stated positions.
