As I mentioned earlier in the year regarding Trump’s plans to reform the tax code, I don’t intend to waste much time studying or discussing their specifics until it looks like there is a good chance that they will get some traction in Congress, where real tax laws are supposed to be written.  

However, listening to Rush Limbaugh’s discussion of the Trump tax reform ideas, I have to agree with Rush that this sounds more like a DemonRat plan than one true capitalists can support. 

Soaking the “evil rich” with even higher tax rates is counter-productive to boosting the economy and sounds more like a proposal from a Marxist president, like bHo or Billary Clinton. 

Trump is obviously doing this as a way of currying favor from the media and taking the wind out of any Dim claim that he will personally benefit from his proposed changes in the tax code.  However, he is now alienating those of us who believe in smaller, less costly government. 

The relevant transcript from Rush’s show on Friday:

Trump’s Pitching His Tax Cut Like a Democrat

The TaxCoach folks have produced a very concise seven page pdf pamphlet with some of the possible changes the Trump Team may try to get passed after they assume power.  You can download it from:

Donald Trump Tax Change Proposals

As with most of the concepts promoted by TaxCoach, they are forward thinking ideas for people, especially small business owners, to use to reduce the amount of their wealth that is confiscated (stolen) by our rulers in government.  Many of the Trump proposals do have opportunities for modifying tax reduction techniques. 

While most of the suggested strategies are at the discretion of the taxpayers. the last one probably isn’t an optional choice for most folks, but would be a win-win if the Trump Team can eliminate the insidious Marxist grave-robbing Estate Tax.

Avoid the estate tax by deferring death to 2017 or later

It’s a normal part of political campaigns to focus attention on issues that really have no bearing on the big picture of who would be the better president.  The Hitlery campaign has been trying to make a big deal out of Trump’s refusal to reveal his personal income tax returns to the public.  While his excuse for not revealing them, an IRS audit, is bogus, I actually admire his stand as one more non-traditional campaign tactic that has thrown the DemonRats and their enemedia propagandists completely off balance. 

However, even if Trump were to cave in to the pressure to open his tax returns up for media scrutiny, what difference will those have on any of us in the real world?  Zip, zero, nada.  His opponents just want to find something on the returns that they can use to shame or embarrass Trump.  

What would actually affect our personal and business lives in the future are the changes that could be made to the tax system under a new presidential administration.  Tax Foundation has just published a very interesting in depth analysis of Trump’s plans to modify the Federal income tax system.

Details and Analysis of the Donald Trump Tax Reform Plan, September 2016

Again, since most politicians will say absolutely anything in order to win votes, there is no guarantee that campaign promises will become reality.  However, it does give us a taste of what a candidate’s economic platform may look like. 

Hitlery’s economic beliefs have always been well known, so there really isn’t any need for much new analysis.  We can just refer to her guiding philosophy.
