Trump Top Priority Is To Lower Taxes On the Middle Class…. Butttttttttttttt

This doesn’t sound too, too conservative.

Fox-

Trump suggested on ABC’s “This Week” that his tax plan, which now includes a tax break for the country’s top wage-earners, would likely be different if he becomes president, considering it would likely need support from Democrats as well as Republicans on Capitol Hill.

“By the time it gets negotiated, it’s going to be a different plan,” the billionaire businessman said in a pre-taped interview that aired Sunday. “On my plan, (tax rates) are going down. But by the time it’s negotiated, they’ll go up.”

However, Trump also argued that his top priority will be to lower taxes for the middle class, championed by Democratic candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, and U.S. businesses, which Trump suggested are among the highest taxed in the world.

Whether Trump would even get solid GOP support from Congress remains unclear, considering House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan is so far withholding his backing, a decision that Trump said this weekend “blindsided” him.

Trump also continued to suggest he’s now open to increasing the minimum wage, after indicating early in the election cycle that such a move would slow the economy.

  1. If you’re making so much fcuking money, what difference does it make?

    See that’s the whole problem. None of the candidates think “you” should succeed. If everyone’s wages were lifted by “being great again” then goobermint wouldn’t need to raise taxes.

    Dumbasses!

  2. What is it going to take for Trump supporters to realize that nothing is nailed down with this guy? It is all on the table, open to negotiation. Trump was for leaving min wage alone, now he switches and suddenly his apologists change their stance too. How far are you willing to bend before you break?

  3. Pull up on your seat belts; it’s going to get bumpy, and we are going to see more of this sort of news. Eventually, people will just stop reading it, unless they are dedicated political junkies. Most people are already in one camp or another. It will take something really drastic to make people jump from one candidate to another. A big terrorist attack here in America, or a financial crash might convince Independents to swing over to Trump, but it is going to be tough going.

  4. Dave – and that is different from Bush 1 and 2, all our Republican Senators and Representatives, every Democrat, how?

    I don’t see where Trump did anything more than say what we all know to be true. He’s NOT going to get 100% of what he wants. His bottom line is cut taxes on business, the middle class and repatriate the money overseas. If he has to deal, it’s the rich who will pay more than in his current plan. Oh, the vapors!

    As for minimum wage, he said he wants that to be state by state, not federal but his over-arching mission is to bring back jobs that pay MORE than $15 per hour.

    Seems to me he put his flag in the sand pretty definitively.

    In business we call that “actionable and measureable”.

    It’s not “hope and change” or Romney’s “”Believe in America.”. You’ll know when you get there or how much he missed by.

    These are as specific as any candidate has ever put out and they’re more truthful than any other.

    By the way, McCain’s slogan was “Country First” but I don’t remember the GOP screaming about McCain being an isolationist xenophobic racist populist.

  5. Pageturner, you are finally catching on. Trump is no different than the recent parade before him.
    The problem will be the disillusionment by those who put him on a pedestal when they see his feet of clay.

  6. By the way, we have no idea what Cruz would do either. He would pander to the evangelicals
    no doubt about that. He may have turned into Hillary.
    Cruz is a lawyer. A good lawyer is a good liar.

  7. Where would Fox get the news that Bernie Sanders “champions” the middle class?

    This idiot plans on handing out so much free shit that I bet my Federal taxes will easily double under his pkan.

  8. What I am hearing is not that far from what Reagan did – he took the best deal he could get, realizing you very rarely get 100% – I believe he will be a far tougher negotiator than the GOPe has been for the last 20 years

  9. There will be many things mentioned from now to the convention and even more from the convention to the election. It doesn’t mean anything until the House and Senate pass a bill and it sits on the Presidents desk …or not.

    The establishment elitists in the House, Senate, special interest groups and lobbyists will water down or nullify most candidate initiatives that are spoken during this time frame.

    Candidates are throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks to garner more voters for the general election. Doesn’t mean anything will result from it.

    But we knew that from the beginning.
    Tell them what they want to hear.

  10. Trump will get more done Conservatively, than all Republicans combined the past 2 decades.
    Every time I read a criticizing article on Trump from the right – I ask – What’s the point? Do you want me to vote #CrookedHillary?
    Get the guy elected President, defeat #CrookedHillary, then write all the criticizing articles you want to steer him right.

    Making a case against Clinton, which has already been thoroughly done, does not make a case for Trump. I’m going to vote for him just the same because I know what Clinton is, but I’m not going to pretend I know what he is. Every day brings something like this that proves we don’t.

    Funny…no one really knew who and what Obama was either. They only found out too late. But it’ll be different THIS time, just because.

  12. True believers always got an excuse for the lyin lil pecker
    Can’t wait to hear the excuses for him negotiating on “the wall” and the big, beautiful door.

  13. “Can’t wait to hear the excuses for him negotiating on “the wall” and the big, beautiful door”

    Ever read his book? The question you should be asking is can be move the ball forward farther than anybody else. I think Hillary is YOUR candidate.

  14. So Trump tells it like its really gonna happen, like it’s always happened, and people who’ve been around for decades are surprised that’s the way things work?
    Just kicking out the establishment will probably add 2% to the GDP.
