The last thign we need is more damned tax cuts for the rich, especially ones targeted towards Blue states. Geees.

He is not a "Clinton supporter" .. Clinton's own record has not been in support of tax cuts.

But then again, these are the leeches that bled poor Hillary.

(10,173 posts)3. he probably voted for her , but his reasons wouldn't have been because she would cut taxes
he's mainly conservative.
He occasionally writes some good pieces, he's moderate, but he also despises Trump and the extremes of modern conservatism.

(10,173 posts)4. Also, you have to remember this is the conservative one trick pony - cutting taxes solves everything
It's what they'll try to sell when Trump tries to get tax reform passed - e.g corp tax down to 15%. We'll hear that reducing it will create jobs ( a lie) and boost the economy (another lie)
