Death and taxes are the two things of which we can be certain, according to Ben Franklin.
The tax issue came up again in last week’s debate between Clinton and Trump. Contrary to our 40-year tradition, Trump has not released his tax returns. However, the public records available show that he has not paid any taxes.
Trump’s response in Monday’s debate was, “It makes me smart.”
Sen. Kelly Ayotte “supports Trump but does not endorse him.” Hopefully she does not endorse Trump’s position on taxes but does she support it?”
Trump wants to increase our defense budget. Will he chip in to help us in funding it with our taxes? Otherwise our national debt will increase.
Clinton knows we are “Stronger Together.” Her choice of a red suit for the debate symbolizes her goal to have formerly red states vote Democratic blue. This will make her the first woman president. The U.S. will then be as progressive as Germany with Angela Merkel, who has been chancellor since 2005.
