Policy....

Can the Dumpers tell the class what's different about Dump's tax policy compared to the past R proposals.  There seems to be some concern on here for the middle class and working families......so what keeps his plan from driving more wealth to the top, catering to hedge fund managers, increasing budget deficits (which require massive future spending to keep the country from a depression), all while increasing spending namely on the military...:read:

The Trump campaign’s response to expert tax analysis of his plan is unhinged

Today the Tax Policy Center came out with fresh analysis of Donald Trump’s latest tax plan, which shows that it is very costly in terms of lost revenue and is overwhelmingly tilted toward high-income Americans in its benefit structure.

This should not come as a huge surprise. One of the main reasons Trump has retained the loyalty of the bulk of the Republican Party, despite his many woes, is that on this core issue of American politics his proposals are fairly standard Republican Party fare.

Trump’s national policy director, Stephen Miller, has fired back at the TPC in a completely unhinged way:

The Clinton Official-led Tax Policy Center has wasted everyone’s time with a fraudulent analysis after admitting they had a software bug that prevented them from scoring the plan’s economic effects. Moreover, the TPC was privately informed they had modeled the wrong plan — not ours — but refused to correct their extremely embarrassing error and model our plan. For instance, our plan has explicit safeguards to keep hedge funds from abusing the business rate — it’s Hillary who plans secret benefits for Wall Street, not us. In other words, this article isn’t even about the Trump plan — but about the gross malfeasance of the deeply-biased Tax Policy Center. The Trump plan is revenue neutral, massively cuts middle-class taxes, and has huge benefits for low and middle-income families. The Clinton plan, as released by WikiLeaks, is “open borders,” Medicare and Social Security cuts, and benefits only for Wall Street. 

The key rhetorical strategy Miller employs here is what’s known in the industry, technically, as lying. 

You can read Trump’s plan for yourself, and you will see that there are no “explicit safeguards to keep hedge funds from abusing the business rate.”

Nor did WikiLeaks reveal any sort of secret Clinton plan to deliver benefits to Wall Street. 

The Tax Policy Center’s methods and modeling are not beyond criticism, but TPC is a widely respected and credible shop, and the basic thrust of its analysis is echoed by competing credible sources. As Kyle Pomerleau of the more conservative Tax Foundation notes, the Trump campaign’s claim that its tax reforms are revenue neutral is contradicted by its own boasts about the size of the tax cut.

They expected their "biggest tax cut since Reagan" to be revenue neutral? https://t.co/anUB5FNLVn

The underlying fact that Democrats want to make taxes higher and more progressive while Republicans want to do the opposite is important and relevant here, as it has been in basically all recent presidential elections. 

The Trump twist, however, is the complete lack of seriousness about the policy development process or engagement with the policy community. Faced with criticism, the Trump campaign’s approach is to fly off the handle and say ridiculous things that aren’t true.

You really think anybody here gives a fuck about what you post?  Do you really think you have any type of credibility here?  Any at all?  Even an ounce?  No. Sorry, you are wrong.  You are an insect.  That is all.  You are not intelligent in any fashion by any measure.  You are a drone.  A mindless twit.  A coward and a hack.  :lol2:

She's touting one policy for public consumption, and then there's the real policy - what she will do when/if elected. 

But, but....Trump! :lol:
