So, Warren Buffet is supporting Hillary because it doesn't benefit him eh?

Warren Buffet is wealthier than all the people Trump can call on put together, just what are you talking about?

There are so many articles on how trumps economic policy will benefit the wealthy. Here are just two.
So the working people who support trump and think that he's on their side ... think again.
He's lying to y'all thinking you're too stupid ("i love the uneducated" he said last spring) and courting business and corporate interests at the same time. Even his child care proposal will benefit the wealthy and not the working folks of this country.
When will y'all realize that you're being used by a con-man?!!! Seriously.
Better to acknowledge that you're wrong and jump ship than go down with it.
Or you can stubbornly and pridefully cling to the illusion that trump cares about you and is some kind of friggin saviour.

Trump’s economic speech: Lots of goodies for the rich, with a hearty dose of gaffes - Salon.com
Trump's plan is brilliant and will save America. You have no clue what you're talking about

Explain how it's brilliant and will save America.

I say it won't.

I say it will be a regressive tax cut in favor of the rich. And it will produce a $10 trillion budget hole that Trump has not said how he will close given that Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid can't be unilaterally cut and he's actually increasing military and infrastructure spending. We're supposed to believe that all those tax cuts benefiting the rich will miraculously close that $10 trillion hole.

Where was this concern over a $10 trillion dollar hole that we CURRENTLY have under the Obama administration?

Exactly, our economy has changed dramatically since the 80's. I do not support tax cuts with out spending cuts. We have proof at the state level where Kasich cut taxes and spending and it worked where Brownback lowered taxes but could not pull off any spending cuts and it flopped. I also notice that the race against technology is not being talked about by either of the pathetic parties. I wonder why? maybe it is to scary of subject for the ignorant unwashed masses.
