Trump: Let's punish corporations who send jobs overseas by putting a huge tax on all products they send back into our country, so much that they would be better off not building plants and sending jobs overseas.
Sanders' proposal will backfire.

Trump's proposal will work.

If you want more American jobs, support Trump.

No, Bernie Sanders is solidly in second place (first, in one poll), but none of those people are successful.

I'm not going to donate and I'll bet few others will either. So I can get $10,000 to run for president? Or if this fund collects 10 million and 100 people decide to run?

I've explained many times why the stock market shows why people should support Sanders.

No they did not. I can only note that you are full of crap and have no clue how all this works.

The limit is $2500 per election. $5000 for the complete election cycle. You can give $2500 for the primaries and $2500 for the general election.

Giving the federal government what they mandated isn't a crime. That's why Mozilo didn't go to prison. Do I need to post the Fannie Mae document touting Countrywide as one of its best "affordable lending" partners which gave Countrywide the ability to accept compromised or no credit (GSE "affordable lending" program standards) to approve loans again?
Countrywide's books were a mess of fake entry's and lies. Sarbanes/Oxley made Mozilo personally responsible (criminally) for that.

No, you haven't. Why do you think a tax on trades will benefit John and Jane working class America who have $24 trillion invested in their pension funds and retirement accounts?

What makes you think they personally manage their pension funds or 401Ks? They don't. The fund/plan administrators do. And guess what those fund/plan administrators do... buy and sell.

Even if true, the federal government didn't use a heavy hand to go after him. Guess why... He could expose the imminent disaster the federal government mandated with their "affordable lending" programs.

I doubt the books were a mess of fake entries and lies. Mozilo was just going by the GSEs significantly lowered lending standards, and the books reflected such. There's no illegality when a company is just adhering to federal government mandates and severely lowered lending standards.

Few of them will ever see a tax. All the same, the little they might get hit would far and away be offset on saved education costs.
