    I honestly don't know what he will cut. I'm sure as the campaign moves on, details will come out. I have a good idea something will happen with ObloatedCare.

    It happened a while ago and it generated some of the best GDP growth and increased jobs in 50 years.

    I'll wait. I got nowhere to go.

    I'm skeptical, though, that details will come out. It's a lot easier to say that you are going to "cut waste and fraud", than to say that you are going to cut specific programs. It's easy to say 'Tax cuts for everyone!'. It's hard to say 'but this group of people are going to get their benefits eliminated'.

    That's actually very true. Can't disagree with you there. But which demographic will be hurt? It could be just supply costs? Who really knows.

    Actually, it did work.

    What doesn't work is trickle down government.

    Poll: Donald Trump still on top as outsiders Fiorina, Carson rise[​IMG]

    WASHINGTON — Billionaire businessman Donald Trump has strengthened his lead at the top of the USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll while two other outsider candidates, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina, have gained ground over rivals with electoral experience.

    Jeb Bush, who two months ago was second to Trump in the USA TODAY survey, has tumbled to single digits and fifth place. The third-place finisher last time, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, suspended his campaign entirely this month.

    "Unfortunately, I'm leaning toward Trump, only because he's a non-political figure," says Ginger Mangam, 58, a customer-service representative from Little Rock, Ark., who was among those surveyed. Asked about his lack of electoral experience, she replies: "I don't think it's a problem; I think it's a message."

    Anthony Edelen, 37, a small-business owner from Vermillion, S.D., likes what he hears from Trump and Fiorina. "I just want somebody who is going to move our country in a direction different from where it is currently," he said in a follow-up interview.

    The shifting landscape underscores an electorate that is fed up with politics-as-usual and willing to embrace contenders who promise to shake things up. Some presidential hopefuls with significant political experience — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Grahamamong them — have failed to gain traction and now score at 1% or below, a standing that may make it harder for them to raise money and command a spot on stage in future televised debates.

    Florida Sen. Marco Rubio has risen to fourth place, backed by 9% of those surveyed.

    The poll of 380 likely Republican primary voters, taken Thursday through Monday, has a margin of error of +/- 5 percentage points. The full sample of 1,000 likely voters has an error margin of 3 points.

    Some political analysts, including those in the latest USA TODAY GOP Power Rankings, see Trump as beginning to lose ground as scrutiny on him as a potential president intensifies. Still, he continues to lead the field at 23%, up 6 points from the July survey. Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, and Fiorina, an ex-CEO, tie for second at 13%, both big jumps the last poll. That means about half of the GOP electorate now backs candidates who have never served in elective office.

    No other candidate breaks into double digits. Rubio is at 9%, Bush at 8%, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at 6% and Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 2%. Not a single respondent backs former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum or former New York governor George Pataki.

    "I support Donald Trump because ... he's the only one that has what it takes to stand up to people," declares Nina Neece, 56, of Turlock, Calif. "He's not afraid of offending anybody."

    Jordan Penegor, 21, a barista from Reno, Nev., is following Carson on Facebook and likes what she reads. "He's not a politician so he doesn't look at the political views," Penegor says. "He just looks at helping the American people as a whole."

    The poll does spot some potential problems for Trump. Among all those surveyed, Americans by more than 2-1, 61%-27%, have an unfavorable opinion of him. In contrast, Carson is viewed favorably by 40%, unfavorably by 32%. Fiorina has a net favorable rating of 38%-32%.

    And when those surveyed were asked to volunteer one word to describe Trump, the most frequent response was "idiot" or "jerk." For Fiorina, the most frequent response was "smart."

    ‘Teflon Don’ morphs into a real candidate
    By Charles Hurt -
    Tuesday, September 29, 2015
    Donald Trump, the political experts and establishment stooges only made him stronger. And now they don’t have a clue what to do.

    PHOTOS: Magazines can't agree on the sexiest woman alive; you be the judge

    Those in Washington who still think a Donald Trump presidency is preposterous or absurd have only themselves to blame for creating an environment that has made it so easy for the swashbuckling, smack-talking businessman to rise so effortlessly to the top of the heap.

    It turns out that not only does the man enjoy very high energy, he also has incredible stamina. His staying power is a-MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZ-ing. Mr. Trump is outlasting all of his harshest critics and is now outlasting some of the surest favorites running for the Republican nomination.

    Scott Walker was the man to beat. He was a professional political expert with executive experience. He had won real political battles. And he accomplished all that without enduring the political mark of Cain: residing in Washington.

    PHOTOS: Christians in Hollywood

    His campaign’s spectacular collapse — rivaled only by that of former Texas Gov. Rick Perry — is sure not to be the last.

    Already, the jackals in the press have caught the scent of death around Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul’s campaign and have begun circling and letting loose their heinous laughs.

    The most alarming thing about Donald Trump for these people is that they have, literally, thrown everything they can at the man. And, yet, he is still standing, completely unbowed. In the 3½ months since he launched his campaign, his popularity has only grown with every sling and arrow.

    Mr. Trump has accomplished something no one thought possible. Meticulously, methodically, patiently, Mr. Trump has morphed into a legitimate candidate.

    He just released the latest of three very serious policy position papers, this one on taxes. The first two were on illegal immigration and guns — filling out a veritable triumvirate of most important issues for all conservatives and many independents.

    Each paper is deeply sophisticated and principled. And when was the last time a candidate for president got wall-to-wall coverage for releasing a policy paper?

    Certainly not when Jeb Bush released his policy position this week on, and I am not making this up, “energy.”

    “Unleash the energy revolution!” announced his campaign. Not to be confused with the “low energy” Mr. Trump is constantly accusing Mr. Bush of having.

    With Tax Plan, Donald Is the New Ronald
    Someone finally listened. I’ve been searching for the new Ronald Reagan to “Make America Great Again.” I’ve argued in my last four books and hundreds of commentaries that taxes are too damn high on America’s risk-takers, job creators and business owners. I’ve pleaded for a dramatic Reagan-esque tax cut to supercharge the economy and create millions of new jobs.

    I’ve been searching for a president who would reward the economic engine of America – SMALL BUSINESS. And reward the people who value work ethic, personal responsibility and rugged individualism, over cradle to grave government dependency. That was how Reagan created the greatest economic expansion in world history – by incentivizing the only people who matter to an economy – the business owners, financial risk-takers and job creators.

    [​IMG]

    By God, I think we just found our new Reagan. His name is Donald Trump and his tax plan is Reagan squared.

    Conservatives remember Reagan’s smile, his jokes, his positive attitude. They think that was the key to Reagan’s success. But what made Reagan great was simple: cutting taxes from 70 percent to 28 percent.

    That reinvigorated investors and entrepreneurs and turned around the economy. That “Made America Great Again.” Trump’s tax plan will do exactly the same.

    In my new bestselling book “The Power of RELENTLESS” I give credit to Barack Obama for only one thing – he is relentless. I recommend that Republicans adopt his “never accept defeat, take no prisoners” mindset. What’s been missing from the GOP is a relentless fighter for lower taxes, for smaller government, for economic freedom, for more power to the people, a fighter who recognizes it’s not greedy to want to keep more of your own money; but rather the definition of greed is to ask government to steal it from those that earned it and redistribute it to those that didn’t.

    It’s all about the taxes, stupid.

    Lower taxes reward the work ethic. Lower taxes encourage the business owners and job creators to want to risk and invest our money, achieve, produce, and contribute. That’s what made America great and will “Make America Great Again.”

    By keeping taxes low Reagan fought for capitalism, for small business, for taxpayers and for working Americans. The result was SPECTACULAR SUCCESS. Reagan turned the misery, malaise, decline, depression and disaster of the Jimmy Carter years into the greatest economic expansion in world history. Reagan exploded the economy. $30 trillion in goods and services was created. Net assets like stocks and real estate went up by $5 trillion – an increase of 50 perent.

    Reagan’s low taxes produced an era of prosperity unlike anything in history. Reagan’s low tax policies created nearly 20 million jobs in a short span, increasing U.S. employment by a remarkable 20 percent. In one year alone the GDP increased by 6.8 percent – the largest increase in 50 years. In only seven years the economy grew by a staggering one third. The economic boom lasted 92 consecutive months -the longest peacetime boom in world history. It shattered the previous record of 58 months by almost 60 percent.

    Trump’s new tax plan is Reagan-esque. It’s a blast from the past. Like Reagan, Trump is relentlessly on the side of the makers, not the takers. Trump’s plan is great for the people who want to work and pay taxes. Trump will produce a new era of Reagan prosperity by rewarding the financial risk creators and job creators.

    Finally – someone is relentless on our side.

    Reagan’s tax plan was simple, lower, fairer, flatter with rates of 15 percent and 28 percent. That did the trick. That unleashed an economic tsunami. That’s all Reagan did – cut taxes and regulations. Reagan’s deregulation saved consumers $100 billion per year in lower prices.

    President Barack Obama is bankrupting us with higher prices. Hint hint Donald – please give us a plan for dramatically cutting Obama’s regulations next.

    Trump’s plan is just like Reagan’s: simple, lower, fairer and flatter. The four rates are 0, 15, 20 and 25 percent, almost identical to Reagan’s, except the top rate is even LOWER! Brilliant.

    But Trump has gone one step further. He’s cut the tax rate to zero for couples earning $50,000 or less. If your tax rate is zero and you get to keep everything you earn under Trump, millions of Americans will choose to work, get off the government dole and become productive members of society. Why stay home and collect welfare, if you can go to work and keep everything you make? If the playing field is evened, most self-respecting Americans with pride and work ethic will choose to work. Brilliant.

    Trump eliminates the marriage penalty, rewarding marriage and family. Bravo. His plan also eliminates the dreaded Alternative Minimum Tax that has ripped off middle class American taxpayers. And, Trump’s tax plan eliminates the estate tax – so anyone who has worked their whole life to build something and already paid their fair share of taxes on it, can leave it to their children and grandchildren without the greedy government stealing it.

    Trump also listens. In all my books, commentaries and personal correspondence with Trump, I’ve stressed the importance of a flat tax combined with keeping tax deductions for mortgage and charity. Nothing is more important to America, your family or your neighborhood stability than your home and your church. Trump kept those deductions 100 percent intact. Bravo.

    But here’s where Trump trumps Reagan. Trump cuts corporate tax rates to a flat 15 percent and incentivizes U.S. companies to bring their $2 trillion parked offshore back to America with a 10 percent rate. Suddenly America will go from the worst corporate tax rate in the world to the best. Trump’s plan will create REVERSE INVERSIONS. Every company in the world will want to relocate here in America! This is how you create millions of jobs.

    Is Trump’s plan perfect? No. But it’s damn good. It’s close to perfect. If I could have my way, I’d replicate the exact tax system of Hong Kong, the most prosperous place on earth, where individual taxpayers get the same 15 percent tax rate as corporations.

    And instead of eliminating the estate tax, I’d have chosen to dramatically cut capital gains taxes. Hong Kong’s capital gains tax is zero. Guess what the capital gains tax rate is in China (our No. 1 economic competitor)? Zero.

    Why is this important? Because the average American doesn’t pay estate taxes, so they don’t care. But everyone will sell a home, sell a stock or sell a small business in their lifetime. Cutting those taxes is the greatest thing you can do for anyone who ever risks a dime on any business or investment. So that’s how I’d tweak Trump’s plan.

    But never let the “perfect” get in the way of the good. Trump’s plan is damn good. It is damn Reagan-esque. Trump’s plan is RELENTLESS- but this time it’s relentless for the people that work, achieve, produce and contribute.

    Trump’s plan will truly make America great again! Bravo Donald.

    Obama has done a fine job controlling the economy with threats to shut down the government and veto bills.
