I'm not so sure that I agree with Trump on 'selective taxing'.

Nope.  It is a bad move.  I don't mind giving miltary and first responders some tax breaks, but to let them totally off the hook, and let everyone else foot the bill for funding Fedzilla?  Not sure of that level of fairness.

How 'bout we gut the government instead?

Because he is a IDIOT with capital letters.  Even the most die hard cult members are now finally realizing the guy is unhinged.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

I'm not so sure that I agree with Trump on 'selective taxing'.

Bingo... and when it comes down to it, it ain't the government's job to fund every disaster area.... I had a tree fall on my house last year, why do I not get a check?

Government plays games with money? Why because they care more for the position than they do for America. If you want to reward dangerous jobs, linesmen and farmers are for more dangerous jobs than being police. You don't see underwater welding jobs being thrown out for tax free relief.

Bonehead comment Trump.... and as much as I disagree with one rude troll on this thread, they are correct. Now if they would only vet the same with the other candidate.

Well stated.  Our two candidates sure don't act or profess an understanding that we are $36T in debt. 

Hell, lets go ahead and let this guy be president.  /s

How about we just stop taxing income entirely and tax what we take out instead.

Gutting the government would probably be much easier if we did that first and I'm 100% onboard.

I run a lot of privacy add-ons on this computer and the OP only shows a black box (instead of a video or link)... Does anyone have a URL link for me to watch this statement ?.. Pretty Please !

EDIT: I found the Fox link via one of the options in right clicking and selecting "This Frame" and open in a new window.

So to counter this, will Kameltoe will offer Teachers, Abortion workers, and Union Workers a no-tax deal? Where does it end... No telling what will be offered to illegals and LGBTXYZ... Just no.  Perhaps double taxes on those that don't toe the line... Again, just no.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It would have actually made sense for Trump to pander to those groups instead, if he wanted to give away the store.  If Donald wants to stay out of prison, he just needs to read from his teleprompter between now and Nov 5.

I'm not sure how this would play out.

Sixty five percent of the firefighters in the US are volunteer.
