Trump worth 3.7 billion (maybe). Warren worth 65 billion… So yeah, Warren would get more deductions. Ah Duh…

382

And sniffing, don’t forget the sniffing. That’s a big part of the Trump debate portfolio.

Hillary, Donald and his alternative reality. Hasn’t paid income tax in 20 years. HE wants to give the wealthy tax cuts, he’ll take care of Donald.

385

I am absolutely confident that I can debate better than Trump. Every time he makes a good point he follows it up with sloppy language and reasoning. CAn’t I just put on the wig and maybe people would be fooled into thinking I’m Trump?

386

Well, the attacks are his topic. I’m actually surprised he hasn’t called her ‘crooked Hillary’ to her face yet.

387

Trump missed a (small) chance on the leaks and lost it because he can’t let attacks go.

388

Trump can’t sit still. He’s like a 7 year old at recess.

389

I’d once again like to remind the SDMB posting audience that trolls - even the blissfully-unaware ones - should not be responded to or engaged in any way, as we need to keep things moving along.

If you say it three times, Mike Pence shows up to spin straw into gold.

391

I don’t know. How do you pronounce ‘big league’?

392

Shortly after becoming the first female senator in New York history, Clinton voted against the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, or as the bill has become known: the Bush tax cuts.

So yeah, she did what she could.

Now I’ll just sit back and listen to her spout numbers and specifics and such.

393

So far, this is not the (Trump) disaster I was expecting.

394

She just ruled out tax increases for those making under $250K.

Probably a “public” position, but one she has to stick too. That’s the third rail of politics these days. Can’t even raise taxes on the rich anymore, just the ultra rich. That means small government, which is okay by me.

395

Great answer on taxes from Clinton.

396

Trump said he understands the tax code. His attorney just said he had no interest in it or understanding it (in defense of the no tax claim)

397

Wait, Hillary is personally responsible for the tax code?

398

What does Trump think Clinton could do? The she could magically fix the tax code all on her lonesome?

399

Trump is right about this and I wish more truly populist politicians would bring this up: Even rich Democratic donors aren’t looking for progressive economic policy. They want their tax breaks and they will get them.

Yet she’s the only one attempting to answer them. He’s just DEFLECT DEFLECT DEFLECT
