the misleading part is that they cut the clip before he said he would be closing those loopholes.

It's misleading because we're not counting the little guys. Walmart gets reduced taxes, but local startup companies don't, that's what's wrong and has led to stagnation

[wille]

Corporations won't be happy until we're living in mud huts and wearing shackles. If people want real change we need to do something drastic like a nation wide strike. If they want to do business here they need to start taking care of us and start paying their share. Businesses count on lower wages so they can get their profits high enough so they don't have to pay taxes anymore and that needs to change. Too many loopholes for corporations to abuse and that's just one of the many they get away with annually.

You left out the tidbit he said about removing legal loopholes

[Thyalwaysseek]

Here's a reality check, he never once mentioned the criminality of the Fed or the central bankers nor did he address what he is going to do to reduce the $19 trillion dollar US debt.

We should do fact check on Clinton News Network

Corporate tax rates are based upon how much they made throughout the year. A study done in 2010 would have to review the previous tax year to get their data. What happened the year before would be called a market crash at which a lot of businesses.

Tax cuts worked great for USA during JFK and Reagan. In JFK's time also initial estimates predicted a loss of revenue as a result of the tax cuts, however, tax revenue *increased* in 1964 and 1965.

So basically it's the tax rate for businesses small enough that they don't have the ability to offshore their profits.

[bonniedavis]

Tax the rich. They leave with jobs & goods. Give money to poor they riot for more.

[BlueBoyJocks]

Misleading? Of course, if his mouth is moving, he's lying!! 💩💩💩💩💩 score 5 poops!

Does anybody actually know of any friends or family voting for Trump? I can't yet find anybody that believes anything about him to be positive.
I was really for him when he first announced he'd run. I didn't know much of his history other than being rich and I thought he'd run the country like a business and that would be good. The more he spoke and then me looking at his past in business life I changed my mind dramatically.
But more to the point I don't actually know a single person that is actually proTrump, and I've asked around quite a bit as I was hoping pro Trump people might have some insight as to why he might have some capabilities of a good leader. I always wonder where the people come from for his rallies since he keeps saying his rallies have so many people. Where do they hail from?

[cojo]

cnn cut this up and did not let trump finish, just how bias can cnn be .

[johnnyjr]
