I am in the top 1% and from an interview I heard him do with Hannity he wants my bracket to pay more taxes. Said we are doing to too well and can afford it. I don't disagree with him but I am not going to vote for a guy who's gonna raise my taxes.

Who knew Sherdog had all these ballers? Im a 2%er in Canada. What a big difference... I pay almost 12 % more in taxes than when i lived in SF.

Im not sure how differnet trump is from other republicans, but generally the republican platform lacks any precision... There are smart and dumb tax cuts. Makes no sense that there isn't higher taxes on the top 0.1% who are absolutely killing it. Most of those people end up investing a good bit of that money overseas anyway... What does that get you? I say cut corporate taxes and raise personal income taxes on the top 2%. Make it graduated at the 0.1% and 0.01% level. So that top bracket is at the ~50% level including state tax, which is inline with most other developed countries. Oh and tax breaks for MMA fighters :)

Top 1% in Ca is annual household income above 400k. My wife and I live in the Bay Area and both work for tech companies. We have kids and given the cost of living out here it's not that much. It's all relative
 
The only people I would ever vote for to be President are Stone Cold Steve Austin and Peter Dinklage.

There is more than one kind of rich; the kind, i believe, trump will help the most will be the large business owners and the rich that pay all the taxes. Whereas the Establishment republicans and Democrats only help the super rich finance oligarchs who give them millions in contributions. Helping the business owners, like myself, by drastically cutting their taxes will super charge the economy. No one can run a legitimate taxed company by paying 50% to the government. so nobody with a business pays taxes. and that only hurts the government.

Dude you are naive is you think a corporate twat like Trump will help anyone other than large corporations. Republicans always run on the same platform: cut taxes and help small-large business owners and yet the economic trend the last 40 years has been stagnating wages, and a shrinking middle class while the richest people get even richer. Democrats deserve the blame too: the whole system is corrupt.

Also economic history strongly shows that cutting taxes rarely leads to a "super charged" economy.
 
can't believe someone admitted they are going to vote for trump

i guess i am on sherdog though

Where did you live in SF? My wife and I lived there the past 3 years downtown at the One Rincon. We recently moved out of the city to a house in the hills in Piedmont.
 
Eh, MMA is the least of my concerns during an election.

No. Redistribution of wealth downward would supercharge the economy because it would increase the ability of more consumers to buy more things. When you have lots of consumers with money to spend, your business should do well, if you are any good at business.

Secondly, many businesses prefer being located in Canada, for example, rather than the US, despite the increased taxes, because there they don't have to hassle with providing healthcare insurance, etc. for their employees. National healthcare takes care of that. This is a big plus for many businesses.
 
at what point in the pres. race does he fall off? 4 years his gimmick was the birth certificate and was leading in the polls
 
Donald....

-Touching Tim Sylvia... Who failed in that fight.
-Looking toward Barnett... who failed his test and in front of the failed Affliction Promotion.
-Next to Tito and Jenna.... who failed in that relationship.


Proven jinx.

wat? none of what you said was true. Where did you get this information? Canadians desperately flock to the US if we let them in. They don't make shit up in Canada. There's almost no such thing as profit in Canada. Nobody wants to run their business there unless they're just socialist zombies that think living in a 300 sq ft apartment is super hip bro.

Wealth redistribution? Name one time where that has worked? That, in theory, might work if you could take from the super rich elite, but they are all offshore, there is no way to get their money. especially if its in exempt countries like DC, London, Vatican City wrapped up in hard assets. That would only hit the upper middle class and new rich that pay all the taxes, you would be essentially taxing them out of their lifestyle and business would shut down. Have you heard of detroit? Marxists have no example to point to of their theory working except in small communes of 100 people. It doesn't work simply because it eradicates incentive. You need to educate yourself

the economy is more than just one thing, but the essential point is that when someone has more money, they spend more money. I believe Trump more than i believe a politician. He isn't stupid. He could very well create jobs and decrease taxes but the federal reserve reigns in the amount of loans they give, causing artificial inflation (which they do everytime) which is why nothing ever seems to get better. and the stock market is just a giant con speculating on loss and gain. The stock market is and has been a poor marker for how the overall economy is doing. What's important is how much money the average person has.

The president is only an important position for hiring his cabinet, which trump will fill with competent people. He's at least not beholden to special interest, which can't be said for any other candidate. I don't expect much of anything from Trump but that's 100x more than i expect from anyone else.
