Trump promises zero tax for the poor and slashed tax for the middle class

no, just a 'member'.

My left (wing) butt cheek feels suitably warm and fuzzy, so your Farage/Conservative apology must have been accepted. x

claig .... in the spirit of getting an acceptance of getting our predictions right, for your UKIP & Conservative Party 2015 predictions, I am either ready for an internet style eye to eye apology, or for you to kiss my perfumed (always) arse.

Which end would you like to approach?

If my equally long shot U.S. Republican candidate Fiorina gets the nomination, that is also worth a 'double tap' butt cheek kiss.

If Trump wins, I will expect apologies from modernisers.

Done, so may we now please have an apology each for all your predictions that went boobs up and the abuse we had over a few thousand posts; starting with your Farage in Westminster and landslide seats tally, as so far, the only 2 Westminster MP's UKIP have had, were SITTING TORY MPs lured to the dark side by promises of something.

Not one bit of home grown UKIP 'fruit' has reached Westminster, and your seats her halved, no other party has that baggage.

P.S. May I then have one for your prediction that the Tories would be wiped out in May 2015, and as Dave leading a coalition doing unpopular clean ups achieved a majority (not I or anyone else 'blue' ever thought could happen) - I expect a kiss on both butt cheeks. lol

Indeed, Isitmebut, it is very difficult to take someone seriously when they perform so many u-turns in so short a space of time and can only argue in soundbites whilst decrying the use of soundbites.

The latching onto this mythical 'people vs the elite' at every opportunity irrespective of who is at the head of the bandwagon is amusing. A claig endorsement is usually the 'kiss of death'.

Our claig is far bigger on several buzz words, than on policy detail, which is why thought the sun shone from Farage's rear end.

Similarly with Corbyn and Trump, claig is going for quantity of posts over real world factuality - its in her contract.

You missed out these bits claig:

Yet a close look at his proposal — which still lacks many basic details — suggests that similar to the Bush plan, the majority of the benefits would flow to the wealthy. In some ways, it could be even more generous.

The biggest benefit for the top 1 percent would be the proposed reduction of the highest income-tax rate, which Trump said he would cut from 39.6 percent to 25 percent.

Trump would also cut the tax rate for long-term capital gains — which flow mainly to the wealthy — to 20 percent, from the current 23.8 percent.

Trump said he would eliminate deductions and "loopholes" except for charity.

Eliminate the alternative minimum tax and the estate tax, which Trump calls "double taxation." He said the latter tax forces many families "to go through hell," even though the current exemption is $5.43 million for individuals and nearly $11 million for couples. Therefore, it only applies to the wealthiest 0.12 percent of estates.

The top 1 percent of earners would reap the largest financial benefits from Bush's plan. While the middle 40 to 50 percent of taxpayers would see their after-tax incomes grow by 12.5 percent under that plan, the top 1 percent would see their incomes grow by 16.4 percent — the highest of any group, according to the Tax Foundation. Since Trump's plan calls for an even lower top tax rate on the wealthy, it could even better for those at the top.

I'm surmising that many of the Hedge Fund Billionaires fall into to the category of the wealthiest.

Corbyn and McDonell following a similar plan in the UK, best laugh I've had in ages.

I was alluding to the top rate of tax set at 25% claig.

I find it sightly ironic that Trump is trying to present himself as populist bearing in mind that he, his family and various companies have availed themselves of every possible tax avoidance scheme going in order to reduce what they pay.

If the tax rates posted by Isitmebut are what Trump is proposing it is hardly soaking 'the rich' is it claig?

but McDonnell is a start and maybe he will eventually learn from Trump.

Yeah, but hopefully McDonnell don't lower the UK Capital Gains Tax (real millionaires tax) as far as socialist Brown did - while leaving the UK poor on the benefit/welfare/unemployed/homeless, scrapheap.

Yes dear.

You clearly missed the bit where Old McDonnell funny farm wants to tax the ying-yangs out of companies, whereas Trump wants to lower them.

FYI the Trump policy is a package to stimulate private sector growth, McDonnell's is to build up the fixed costs of the PUBLIC sector, relying on ever fewer private sector tax receipts (and less jobs with a huge MW) to fund them.
