Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump tried to remind voters of his plan to cut taxes for the middle class on Monday, but economists said the few details he offered only made his proposals more confusing. Trump promised to reduce taxes for the middle class and reform a system that he said favors the rich. It is a conversation about how to make America great again for everyone, Trump said in his speech at the Detroit Economic Club. Especially, and I say especially for those who have the very least. The speech was supposed to help reset his campaign on a...

Took a break from your subscription to American Ass Forum... which has about as good of analysis as the former!

We know for a fact just how destructive Clintons are to our economy. We are still dealing with the fallout from Bill's presidency

you mean like balanced budgets, and even budget surpluses? robust growth?

Are you under the impression that I think Hillary is anti-trade?

Hillary is all for outsourcing, she even promised to start replacing American workers with foreigners, as long as they have degrees.

That's one hell of a "fuck you" to the working class.

Bottom line: are you going to vote for a proven disaster like Clinton because Trump said some mean things that hurt your feelings?

Aww, wee lamb!

Bottom line?? Are you kidding me? If I don't vote for Trump, it will because he is a blabbering idiot who probably couldn't name 10 countries in NATO if I gave him 7. He think it's OK to use nuclear weapons as a first resort. His tax plan is worse than Romney's was and is a blatant giveaway to the 1%. Sounds suspiciously like it was written by Heritage Foundation.

The bottom line is that Trump doesn't even want to be President and has said as much to his VP picks. It will be a Pence Presidency. Good luck with that.

Actually, every research paper ever done on the subject has shown that highly skilled immigration adds to jobs overall. Sure, someone with an MS in electrial engineering comes in, takes a job, but a few years later, moves along, starts a business. Sure a hell of a lot better to have them here, then sending the money to india or china.

They become american, stay raise families... contribute to the economy.

You have to look more than one move on the chess board!

Every research paper written by companies who are looking to increase number of people competing for the same job say exactly that thing you are so happy about.

If we don't have enough jobs now, it's not the 90's anymore where there were more jobs than people. It's opposite. Race to the bottom thanks to liberals. They think Americans make too much money, nothing puts things in perspective like competing for the same job against some foreigner who is willing to do the same job for 1/10th the pay.
