“The hedge fund guys are getting away with murder. They have to pay tax”.
“Something is wrong when CEOs earn more than 300 times than what the typical American worker earns and when hedge fund managers pay a lower tax rate than truck drivers or nurses”, Clinton said in May while campaigning in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The argument is contentious on both sides.
Trump indicated that he would carry out this plan regardless of his relationship with hedge fund managers.
Trump’s statements were made during a Sunday interview on CBS’s Face the Nation where he said he would take donations but said his own history of donating to political campaigns leaves him apprehensive of certain contributions – mainly those from lobbyists. In the exchange, Trump said, “They’re paying nothing and it’s ridiculous”. I want to save the middle class. And I have hedge fund guys that are making a lot of money that aren’t paying anything, okay.
“You know, the hedge fund guys didn’t build this country”.
One day he makes outlandish and offensive comments about the Latino community, deeming them criminals, and another day the country finds out he employs many of these same individuals he chose to publicly disrespect. It’s ridiculous, OK? This – and some of them are friends of mine. And Trump responded he was open to outside contributions but would not take money from lobbyists or special interests.
The rhetorical similarities between Trump and his would-be Democratic rivals have given Jeb Bush an attack opening.
Well I’m thinking about it but I have a problem because I may want to switch taxes around.
“He’s going to come to me in a year or two years”, he added.
He said he’d hike taxes of hedge fund managers and lower rates for the middle class. I want to make it very simple. Trump, however, failed to specify how he would reform the tax code and change that provision. “I don’t want any strings attached”. You could go to a fair tax.
Probably the simplest is simplify the existing.
“We have a lot of small contributors”. Would you change that and how would you do it?
