Trump Either Doesn’t Understand His Own Tax Plan or Is Egregiously Lying About It
On Sunday night during a “town hall” broadcast on Fox News, Greta Van Sustren asked Donald Trump about his tax plan. Specifically, she asked him if everyone in the country would get a tax break, “even the very rich.” This is how Trump responded:
The very rich are going to be paying — well, first of all on the very rich, let me explain. We have things in the very rich that are so unfair to the general public, especially the hedge funds guys, like carried interest and different provisions, that are very complex that a lot of people wouldn’t understand. But I’m getting rid of carried interest and frankly the ones that I’m really concerned about — you know, I like the workers — I call them the workers of this country — the best. I don’t necessarily like the very rich, even though I’m one of the very rich. But the very rich are going to end up probably paying more but there’s an incentive for them to invest in the country and to create jobs.
Trump is either completely unfamiliar with his actual tax plan or is blatantly lying about it………….
But then it could be both………
