Trump on MSNBC sez ...

Big, simple tax plan coming for everyone, personal and business.

Lower rates.

Because in his Magical Presidency, we can create infrastructure income out of thin air.

I don't know anyone who would say "no" to simpler, or lower ... EXCEPT for the consequences.

Damn consequences ....

Trump will just lower taxes for the super wealthy and corporations and will increase taxes on the poor and middle class. Then, he will sell off federal roads etc to private corporations and then the poor and middle class will be hurt by the exorbitant toll prices that will inevitably be imposed.

Instead of Interstate Highway 95, it will be the ExxonMobil Interstate Highway 95. All rest stops will feature exclusively ExxonMobil gas stations, all tolls will be quadrupled, except for bridges, which will increase 10x.

And, we'll have Lake Mead water brought to you by Perrier or Aquifina... The Halliburton Hoover Dam... The Trump Casino and Resort at the Grand Canyon...

...............you can increase your spendable income by QUITTING YOUR JOB!!!

When are people going to realize that the economy of a country is EXACTLY THE SAME as the economy of a family? You have money coming in and money going out. In order to have a GOOD economy, you have to bring IN more money than you send OUT. That means if your bills exceed your income, you have two options: either increase your income (get a second job, get a better job, get a pay increase of some kind), or decrease your outgo (cut back on things you spend money on).

Republicans would have you believe that if you want your family to be rich, the first thing you should do is DECREASE your income!!!

Drumpf wants to pour even more money into our military which is already ridiculously overfunded (translation: big government handouts to private contractors--aka my rich buddies), and to do it, he's going to cut his income. Brilliant, right? I mean, it's really hard to understand why brilliant business decisions like this would lead a guy to declaring bankruptcy 7 times.
