He wants to have a 10% flat rate tax that everyone pays. That will only bring in $1.1 trillion. We currently spend closer to $4 trillion. So he'd either have to raise the flat tax to 40% or cut everything out of the budget -- which cuts the military and everything else, except for the interest on the debt.
Or he might like most everyone else, understand that income taxes are not the only way the government brings in money and that we are coming nowhere close to bringing in what we are spending now.
Since that is the case, where are the cuts under Obama?
We'll see how they will do after the debate. It should be interesting. Both have little political knowledge so the chance of screwing up is big.
I know some people think Trump is untouchable but I don't believe that to be the case. Of course those obsessed with illegal immigration will support him until he drops out of the race but others will vote for the flavor of the month and Trump is no longer the new popular kid in town
He's no longer all over the news like he was when he was talking about Megyn's period. That will affect him. The kind of people he attracts have a short attention span, they lose interest very easily just like no one is talking about that blue/black/white/golden dress that was all over the news a few months ago.
You are right about no political experience; who knows how that might work, but it could be just what the country needs. No one will know if we don't give it a try.
Regardless, I think if the media puts Trump on the back burner, his popularity will go down. There will be those who are going to support him no matter what, but many who are excited about the thought of someone new to lead the country will realize Trump may not be the one.
So why did you bring up Japan? Don't play games with me.
Other saw that you evaded the question on the position you took. So you don't really believe that there should be no rules in war. I don't believe Carson does either which leaves the question as to why he said it.
If the GOP nominates Carson, they most likely will not win the election. He is too inexperienced and too religious, I mean really, I believe in God and the 10 Commandments but I couldn't listen to his "sermon" and I think it was supposed to be a speech. I support separation of church and state and I think he'll make many people uncomfortable, the wearing his religion on his sleeve thing. I was brought up to believe religion was a more personal thing and that you lived it, living by example, not wearing it on your sleeve. He has just became a turnoff after listening to him. Yes, a lot of things are morally wrong BUT separation of church and state.
Trump could probably beat Carson though if Trump goes 3rd party. I thought it seemed like there were some hints to that with one of the women that introduced his rally last night.
Trump will pull from both Republicans and Democrats and most of the others cannot. There is "Trump" and then there are "the rest of them".
I wonder how many people insulting Trump constantly have actually listened to him or maybe have the ability to understand business, social skills and the dynamics of actually making and working a plan.
So, it sounds like you are supporting Trump and you think just because a person mentions being a Christian we wears it on his shirt. I have to disagree: Cruz, yes, even Huckabee, probably but until this past week or so I do not think of Carson as evangelical as some of the others.

well, other?
I thought you are a tough cookie. You really need somebody to back you up on this??
Only a fool would believe
you don't need to fight a political correct war = there should be no rules in war.
WW2 and war on terror, absolutely no comparison.
and since you asked, I will answer your ridiculous trolling type of question
No, I don't believe Japan should've invaded China. and what they did to the Chinese is absolutely unspeakable. But I have no ideas why what Japan did years ago have anything to do with Ben Carson's position.

No rules outside of winning? Is that what you believe?

Yes you do. Carson said no rules.......I guess you don't really agree with him. I doubt he agree's with himself and should be called out on it.
So you are cool with the raping of civilians like Japan did in China? How about the killing and eating parts of your prisoners of war?
We can start there.
Where did this come from anyway?
But you know something, in every single war, there are tens and hundreds of thousands of civilians raped during the conflict. Did you know that literally hundreds of Japanese civilian women were raped by American servicemen following Japan's surrender in the WW2? Of course not. Never mind what Germans and Russians did to each other's civilian women in WW2. Wars are horrible and only dumb chicken hawks think it's like Gears of War.
