Trump endorses McCain on Larry King
By MIKE ALLEN | 9/17/08 10:22 PM EDT Text Size:
Donald Trump, the flamboyant New York magnate, said on CNN’s “Larry King Live” on Wednesday night that he is supporting Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for president.
Trump, never shy with his opinions, went on to say that McCain appears to be winning, and that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) should have chosen Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) as his running mate.
“I know John McCain, and John McCain's a great guy, a tremendous guy,” Trump told King. “I've known him for a long time. And I'm with him, and I'm with him based on the fact that I have great knowledge of John McCain. Also, this is not the right time for tax increases. And Obama wants to increase your taxes drastically.”
Well, maybe not your taxes. But certainly The Donald’s: Obama would repeal President Bush tax cuts for households making more than $250,000.
During the Democratic primaries, Trump donated to Hillary Clinton, according to records posted by the Center for Responsive Politics. Trump donated to McCain in May, according to the records.
“I don't understand why Hillary wasn't chosen [for vice president],” Trump said. “ She was really winning. I have a friend that came to this country and was here for the last four weeks of that whole election. He said: How did she lose? She won every primary? He didn't understand it.
“The fact is, that Obama went limping across the finish line. He should have chosen Hillary, It would have been a much different race, I believe. Right now, it looks to me like McCain is probably winning.”
During the show, the two men had this exchange:
TRUMP: I'm endorsing McCain. I am basically very strongly — you have to understand: I've known him. I like him, I respect him.
KING: So you're endorsing him?
TRUMP: I think he's going to be a great president.
KING: So you're endorsing him.
TRUMP: Sure, I'll endorse him on your show.
KING: You just endorsed him.
TRUMP: I endorse him.
KING: Are you pessimistic or optimistic about this financial situation?
TRUMP: Well, I'm very pessimistic.

Have you even read his tax plan? I'd say no by the content of your post. He is increasing taxes on the top 1% of Americans.
Well, sorry kid but I am not in that top 1%, and I'm guessing you aren't either. |

That how the door to higher taxes is opened, by saying it will affect only the top 1%. Only fools will believe that, fools expecting to stick it to the rich guy, but what happens is they are the ones that get hit with higher taxes, since that's where the greatest revenue is. Saying it's only for the top 1% is just a way to open the door to a discussion of raising taxes. There never will be a plan to raise taxes only on the rich, it's just a ploy, used very successfully by appealing to people's base resentments of those who are better off than they. |

Both McCain's & Obama's tax proposals are pie in the sky and full of holes and assumptions at this point.
How much money do you need to make before you're rich? Both assume a "Peace Dividend". NOBODY knows where this economic downturn to going to end - Nobody knows how big the real bill is going to be.
"A close look at their proposals shows that the differences fall neatly along the traditional policy gulf that has long divided Republicans and Democrats: liberating the wealthy with tax cuts to stimulate the nation's prosperity versus raising their rates to redistribute the tax burden and pay for crucial government programs."

So Trump has decided to vote based on his own pocketbook and not what is best for the country.My personal feeling is that Obamas plan to raise taxes for the wealthiest americans is excessive but it makes more sense than cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans.Be realistic -those with more money have more influence as an individual on what government does or does not do to a much greater extent than the average American.Also McCains plan will put us further in debt than Obama's plan.
The Tax Policy Center estimates that over 10 years, McCain's tax proposals could increase the national debt by as much as $4.5 trillion with interest, while Obama's could add as much as $3.3 trillion. |
