No, it's not what I say; it's what THEY ARE DOING - helping Clinton wins despite having higher taxes impose on them because many of them are terrified of a Trump presidency.

They are trying to preserve a system based on crony capitalism.

Does anyone know what she means by "raising taxes on the wealthy?"
Because if she's implying income tax...well, there are enough loopholes to get out of that, as she and Trump have both demonstrated.
I will have to go to her website and see what taxes she actually means....
Trump has a pretty detailed outline as to what he means, and it's actually impressive. Doesn't rule out the rich, and actually taxes them at a higher rate.

This is actually a simplistic comparison. Before anyone gets in a wad over estate taxes...it's essentially the "death tax". In other words, when you die, and want to leave your children your money....Hillary wants to take 45% of that.

not sure if this is after the lifetime deduction or not. that currently stands at 5M, and most financial planners expect it to drop to 2.5M. they will play games with the tax code and could very well change the definition of trust taxation so that any trust has to pay the trust tax rate (45%?). they need money and will strip mine boomer and millennial inheritances. easy pickings. voting for Hillary is like handing them your checkbook.

Let's face it...she's simply trying to appeal to the people that hate the rich, and want to see them taxed...to pay for everything.
Even though economists have shown, over and over, that even if you taxed the 1% at 100%, it wouldn't cover one year of American spending.

If that's the case then Wall Street would have backed Trump, just look at the economic advisory team he assembled.
