Trump is a giant fraud. He's probably the "opposition" candidate, but jesus christ this is what we get? He basically won the republican nomination by appealing to overtly racist groups, people who wouldn't admit to being racist in public, conspiracy theorists, and probably wealthy businessmen whose money he wants. Can he win the presidency this way? Probably not, although I'm not really sure he wants to president, I'm sure there's some way he's making money out of this.

I'm not really confident that we'll get a candidate in the next 20 years that will actually serve the interests of the people: Instead, wall street and government defense contractors will continue to gain at the expense of the american taxpayer, and bombing of various brown people will continue as scheduled.

Somewhat sidenote: are any of Trumps political rallies or anything held at his hotels? I could see him pulling some sort of shady accounting to get the political donations to pay his hotels exorbitant rates to host them.

It's only 4.5 minutes.

Trump hasn't offered any real plans to address wealth inequality. Some gibberish about bringing back jobs...as if there's any rolling the clock back on that. Unless he is about to contradict his entire history as a person, he's just saying that to get you working / middle class rubes to elect him.

So what did those private investigators find out about Obama's birth certificate again?

How is that conservative justice going to help us get big money out of politics?

hmmm

I'd much sooner believe he'd build the wall.

Proving youre an idiot is as easy as 1 2 3!

1. There will always be wealth inequality within a capitalist system because it goes hand in hand with effort inequality. You get back what you put in.

2. Hillary started the birther movement, and all things aside, Obama has done more harm to america than any other political leader in the history of the world.

3. The wall alone will do more for the economy and jobs than any committee that democrats put together to see if they need to form a committee to create a committee to speculate on poverty and not actually do anything to better it.

1. No one is talking about 100% equality. That's a straw man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPKKQnijnsM

2. Hilary never said Obama was from Kenya. Trump did for years. It's false equivalency and beside the point.

3. Net immigration from Mexico is 0.

Lmao, that dude thinks that if your income reaches a certain level, ALL of your income gets lumped into the new bracket and you pay that new tax on everything.

I can't imagine anyone who graduated high school with that poor an understanding of how tax brackets work, I must be underestimating the average Trump voter.

The higher that number, the higher tax bracket you find yourself in. If you make $50,000 in taxable income, then $7,550 is taxed at 10%, $23,100 is taxed at 15%, and the rest, $19,350, is taxed at 25%. That means you pay a total of $9,057.50 in income tax.
ah yea didn't know it works like that but fuckin jokes on you i graduated college and make more money than your dad. still what i said is true, i reach another tax bracket I am taxed more. you must be a butt hurt bernie supporter sad about your crippling debt
