What the fuck is going on in his head? We're gonna need to cut spending a by shit ton in order for that to work.

Nick McIntyre · September 30, 2015, 10:26:19 PM

So the rich don't pay anything, the poor and working class don't pay for anything...

So why the fuck does that leave?

An extinct middle class

Well, assuming budges for nearly every federal department except Defense will be slashed...

This is fine.

Did you read it:

"The plan would also lead to a 29 percent larger capital stock, 6.5 percent higher wages, and 5.3 million more full-time equivalent jobs.

The plan would cut taxes and lead to higher after-tax incomes for taxpayers at all levels of income."

I'm not as economically literate as you, so I didn't follow after the larger capital stock stuff.

EDIT: And I misread the after-tax portion as people in all wealth classes paying more in tax.

It would basically help everybody.

Although, to be honest, I wouldn't trust the Tax Foundation.

just tell us if it's a good plan or not

I don't trust the tax foundation, and 11pc growth over ten years despite huge budget cuts to (presumably) things like welfare, education, other services etc. seems unrealistic. The TF is pretty well-known for its pro-business bias.

LOL Why do you guys treat Meta like an expert on the economy? Are you incapable of doing your own research or reading between the lines?

^
this is what i really hate about this board sometimes

no disrespect to meta, but so many people use him as a mouthpiece for everything they believe about economics, and it's like nobody can form their own opinions, because they don't know shit about shit

it makes me want to go into economics next semester

People desperately want to have some voice on important subjects, even if it isn't their own.

It's pretty good, actually. Especially if we start eschewing constant involvement in foreign conflicts. I'd be more in favor of an even smaller corporate tax while keeping a higher rate for the top bracket, though.

Still, it's a decent plan. Probably the one good thing going for him.

To anyone confused by the two links, just watch the video. Trump does a really good job of simply explaining what each premise means. It's kind of refreshing to have a speech like this given in mostly plain English.

Still not going to vote for him, but this is definitely a strong speech for Trump.

Just to put it out there: I agree with you guys. It gets annoying to have people constantly expect me to be on-call to tell them what's what about the economy, primarily because the chances are I won't actually know and then I have to take the time to research it and formulate a response.

I'd rather people formed there own opinion and then engaged me in a debate. At least that way I don't feel like a fucking lecturer.

I really, really, really like the future prospect of myself not paying any federal income tax for the next few years.

I don't know if I like the rest of Trump's platform.

What the fuck even is the rest of his platform? Mercenary foreign aid and layered border defense walls?

I feel like if Trump releases more of his specifics this year he may have another surge in the polls...granted he doesn't seriosuly propose something insane.
