"Fair" would seem to be a flat tax where everyone pays the same percentage of their income regardless of how much they make... 15-20% seems "fair" to me.
Defining "fair" as equal pay for everyone, regardless of how much your earn or the value of your work, offers the best prospects of winning future elections, and our society is being engineered to ensure those prospects continue to improve.

I saw an article where Republicans are looking at other candidates should Trump drop out. Does anyone think he may quit if he sees he is going to lose?
You're presuming he wasn't in this to lose.

Yeah, I don't think he wants to lose anything. He's not a "take it for the team" kind of guy, imo. I think he probably just wanted to run 3rd party and get his name out there for branding purposes / TV negotiating power (still a win for him). He's accomplished more than he ever dreamed possible... if he doesn't really want the job, find a way to get out gracefully and sign a YUGE deal for next season's Apprentice.

However, at this point, the media has hurt his brand. Before, he was just Trump the billionaire mogul / reality star. Now he's Adolf Hitler, the unstable maniac who could bring about WWIII by bombing Mexico, blacks, and women. :)

Fixed it. Don't leave out the details.

But, Killary proudly proclaims she will be raising taxes on anyone, or any household, making about $27K/year and the morons in the crowd, including Buffet, who is anything but middle class as a 1%er, all cheer. And then the lame stream media applaud it too. Wow! that lead in the polls has Killary feeling her oats. I'm sure she told her advisors, "Nah! no reason to lie now, I got this in the bag. I'll just tell 'em straight out what I will do. And they'll still vote for me."
And....she's right. The morons will.

Yep, that is the PROBLEM.....Complete idiots that will vote for lying thief, Hillary!!! Yes, she has a record....she is a cluster f_ _ k!!
Re: 2016 Presidential Campaign
The polls say one thing, and actual attendance at appearances say something else. Trump is having SRO, to the point the fire marshal is having to control crowd size, and killary's crowds look like a ulm vs uab football game crowd. You could spray machinegun fire on the stands, and not hit anyone.
Re: 2016 Presidential Campaign
I've been avoiding the news shows but tuned in to CNN last night out of boredom. My God! I'm no Trump supporter but they bashed Trump on every show they have. There was not 1 mention of Hillary Clinton all night long. It's so hard for the Republican candidate to win in this country. I'm sure if Cruz or Rubio or Kasich would have won the nomination they would be doing the same thing.

Exactly. They've been doing it since Nixon was running against Humphrey and probably before. They will do it no matter how much ammo Trump gives them. IMO Hillary being kept in the closet is then most damaging thing they do to Trump and the American voters.

Interesting, and probably not unintentional, use of words. :D
And, I think you're right. In fact, they really don't need the ammo from Trump--they already have it and just won't use it.
Re: 2016 Presidential Campaign
On August 1, 2016,Hillary said she is going to raise taxes on the middle class!! Like we didn't already know that!

The difference is they have Trump BILLIONS in free air time to help him secure the nomination.
