So Trump is conflating his losses in 1995 to the economical loses suffered by people in 2000+

When will people be told to that Trump is talking about changing tax laws that do not even affect 90% of his base. He is talking about closing loop holes for hedge fund managers who will make up the loss in other ways.

I wonder if all those people who want to pay the least amount of taxes possible will want to accept the least amount of government benefits they now get. Do people not understand what taxes pay for and that people like Trump actually get more from the government than they give to it?

Democrats sure do a poor job of explaining things to the voters.

That's what he's referring to. But it's bogus in his case. By 1995, under Bill C., and until Bush II, the economy was spectacular.
