The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

Agree. I actually agree with Trump and most republican establishment types. Carried interest (loophole for hedge funds) is a joke and they should get hit at ordinary income rates.

Why aren't the democrats speaking out on the issue? One reason is heading off to a hedge fund for a year or two can really set them up. Ask Chelsey Clinton and Rohm Immanuel. Tell me what investment expertise do those two have?

Come on. You are the same guy that had no idea how Bernie wants to fund his programs, even though he has been explaining it over and over and over.

You're great, '71. Keep on keeping on.

Typical response of a lib. I just don't understand how your minds are wired. So cynical if it doesn't fit into your wanted and I guess needed stereotypes.

[Applejack]

I have a great friend out there who happens to be black. Just got elected to the Board of Directors. The trouble with you liberals is you just feast on stereotypes and name calling.

I don't know if he is a democrat or republican because it doesn't matter

He's a democrat. Trust me.

LOL, so you're the guy who gave the duh, tax the rich answer. Now you have some details as to how he is going to do it. You couldn't share those. So either you do know details and carried interest is in there or as I suspected you were being a smart ass as you want to be.

I will go google and see if the exemption for carried interest is done away with in his program or do you know for a fact it is part of the detail in his program.

rohm immanuel. lol.

LOL, spelling his name correctly is important to you, and yet you have no problem making misleading statements and outright lying.

You are still in JL's shadow.

Yeah, poor people are incapable of working hard, going to college, and making reasonable life choices. Bernie and Hillary are rubes for offering free college since the people they want to help can't manage it.

Anyway, I don't know what that has to do with the original premise that letting the Mitt Romneys, Al Gores, and Bill and Hillary Clintons of the world accumulate wealth somehow disadvantages the rest of us.

Basically it boils down to it just isn't fair.

I wonder if one of Hillary's campaign promises will be as the First Woman President she will make sure WNBA players make the same as NBA players, even if she has to by executive decisions have the government make up the difference.

I gave that answer because it is the simplest, most correct answer to the question you asked. It is the cornerstone of his campaign and the one thing that he repeats more than anything else.

I will go google and see if the exemption for carried interest is done away with in his program or do you know for a fact it is part of the detail in his program.

You are right. After hearing your opinions on climate change, right then I should have started googling instead of asking questions you might go ahead and try to answer.

Carson is suspending his campaign for a couple of weeks to promote his book, America's Awesome or some other title.

I'm no neurosurgeon (tee hee!), but this seems like a dumb campaign move. Seems like he's more worried about cashing in on his current popularity rather than being serious about a presidential run.

The polls have me really confused.

I like Carson the man, but he has said some things the press really jumped on. He seems to be explaining what he meant quite often and yet he is on the heels of Trump. Again I like him, but just can't see him navigating the politics necessary to become President.

I sometimes wonder if people answering the pollsters are giving answers they think will really mess with the heads of the press and establishment, but really won't vote that way.

I may be a racist, but when Carson (who is doing well in the polls) suspends his campaign I think of Herman Cain. Cain was not abel to continue because he had some sort of affair allegations. Anyways, people in the upper ecehlon of the polls don't usually quit to sell books.

[old_gregg]

I like Carson the man . . . Again I like him,

you are a nut

[Donuthole]

Cain was not abel

Profound. And racist.
