Trump speaking at his meeting this morning.

[shockey80]

He wants to cut regulations by at least 75%. He said this will not hurt safety or environment. Massive tax cuts for the rich and middle class. That will lead to massive debt. Trickle down economics on steroids.

When you get right down to it. Trumps economic plan is legalized corruption. It may spike the economy at first but then the shit will hit the fan down the road.

5. The tax cuts won't do as much as they think it will.

The tax cuts on the middle class won't increase disposable income that much because wages are low to begin with. The tax cuts on the wealthy, if it is used for investment, much of it will be invested in production outside the US because of our trade policies. Increasing the minimum wage to $10.00 an hour would probably be a bigger increase in disposable income.

11. +1, giving a tax cut to people who pay little to no taxes in the first place affects the middle and

.. top more than the larger affect from higher salaries

13. The last tax table's based on his proposed plan I saw showed my taxes and the poors' going up.

Most of the tax cuts are for the wealthy and they already have more disposable income than can possibly imagined.

6. Govt for the rich, by the rich. nt

9. By the time he and the teabagger GOP are finished, we'll all resemble Flint, MI residents.

10. He's a fucking disaster.

Welcome to the third world USA.

12. It is a little scary that we all know that 75% is a POOMA number. He can't name one he'd cut.

At the same time he is promising a new corporation foreign tax he can't possibly understand.

Then he promised to renegotiate NAFTA to be better for the US. He does understand Canada and Mexico just won't give terms away? Right? Oh dear.

14. What regulations are there if not the ones that protect the workers

and the environment? I was always under the impression that is what we had regulations for. If this is just about perpetuating the myth of lowering taxes to make things better for the economy, why not use the word taxes and not regulations?
