    Default The Hildebeast: insane by at least one metric

    Yet Obama has continued to do the same thing over and over again.

    And now comes Hillary Clinton’s economic plan, which will deliver more stagnant growth, falling wages, dropping productivity, and depressed investment.

    Her program would raise taxes on so-called rich people, corporations, capital gains, death, and stock transactions. She would spend massively on infrastructure and again mandate rules for private businesses. Remarkably, she has no corporate tax reform (even Obama had a plan) to revive corporate investment and boost productivity, wages, and living standards.

    Now here’s the question: By repeating Obama’s policies, how does she expect the economy to do any better than it did during Obama’s presidency?

    She doesn’t.

    Clinton’s goal is not economic growth, but reducing inequality and social injustice in the name of “fairness.” But she never tells us what “fair” means, although we know it’s code for higher taxes and larger government.

    Now let’s bring in Donald Trump. He wants to lower taxes across-the-board for individuals and large and small businesses, significantly reduce burdensome regulations, and unleash America’s energy resources. (Hillary would end coal and oil-and-gas fracking.) Trump’s corporate tax reform would restore America’s position as the most hospitable investment climate in the world. For a change, businesses and their cash would come back home.

    The contrast between the two economic-policy strategies couldn’t be clearer. Clinton has a recession strategy. Trump has a recovery strategy.

    Clinton derides Trump’s plan as more “trickle-down economics.” But she forgets something. Post-war economies prospered most following the JFK and Ronald Reagan tax cuts. In fact, in his second term, her husband followed the incentive-model of growth by reducing taxes and reforming welfare, with excellent economic results.

    So why not give tax and regulatory relief a try. It’s been missing for seven-and-a-half years. Why not try something different for a change?

    When you read Clinton’s Detroit economic speech you see repeated references to making sure the top 1 percent pays its fair share. Ditto for corporations.

    But here’s a big factual mistake. A recent CBO study shows that “the rich” don’t just pay a “fair share” of federal taxes, they pay almost everybody’s share -- particularly when it comes to financing government-transfer payments.

    A recent Tax Foundation study, using IRS data, shows that in 2013 the top 1 percent paid an average 34 percent of federal taxes, while the middle 20 percent paid only 12.8 percent.

    What’s more, numerous studies show that cutting business taxes will benefit wage earners the most. That’s the middle class.

    Yes, shareholder stock values will go up too. But it’s not simply the rich that gain from this. Remember, all those government and private-sector unions are heavily invested in stocks. They hate tax cuts. But it is precisely those tax cuts that will boost their pension and retirement-benefit totals. Ironic, isn’t it?

    Plainly, Trump intends to reward success, while Clinton will punish it. She wants the government to run the economy. He believes in the growth engine of free enterprise.

    Trump understands that you can’t have good-paying jobs unless you have strong, healthy businesses. But if investors and businesses are harassed by overregulation and uncompetitive taxes, firms will stagnate or fail and jobs and wages will shrink.

    Hillary never ran a business. So she doesn’t understand this model. It’s not a Republican or Democratic model. It’s a commonsense, American model of prosperity.

    A long time ago I watched Ronald Reagan repeat a few simple points about the benefits for everyone of lower taxes, lite regulations, and limited government. Successful policies are sold by repetition, not unrelated tangents. Trump must learn this. If he does he will win.

    But if he doesn’t Americans will continue to suffer. We’ll have more of the same bad policy and more of the same bad results.

    Insanity.

    ___________

    Hillary's economic plan isn't predicated on jobs or economic growth [in spite of what she says] but the concept of 'fairness' spiced up with a dash of energy policy insanity; itself, predicated on the bankrupt notion that man can control the global climate via government policy.

    And people wonder why the economy has remained stagnant since Obama took office.

    Hillary will deliver more of the same for at least four more years, if she gets elected. Think about this: Hillary is not only an economic disaster in waiting, she's learned NOTHING from the myriad mistakes made in the Middle East going back to the Bush years.

    The #Never Trump Rump need to get over themselves and wake up and smell the coffee when it comes to this election. Trump may have his warts but he can be controlled by congress.

    Madame Hillary will be an unmitigated disaster.

    LOL LOL LOL This is coming from the people who voted for Bush. By almost every objective standard, security, prosperity, economic, cultural, social, etc, etc we are far better off than we were under the reactionary right that wants to drag this nation kicking and screaming back to the 19th century.

    Can you say the following? "This OP has no credibility"? LOL LOL LOL

    I mean Darth you're pissing up wind if you think the people of this nation are going to be dragged down by redneck populism.

    Well Mott, there's an excellent chance we'll be dragged in the other direction, again. And if we are, it's going to suck for a lot of people. Not the least of which, the people the left are supposedly concerned about. I got my job and my house is paid for, so I'll be fine either way.

    But if you like rioting in the streets and are content with an economy that manages, barely, to stay out of outright recession, vote for Hillary.

    I'll at least to get to say I told you so lol.

    You know as well as I do that she will implement politically correct measures that even Darla would cream her pants over. Not to mention all the loony warmist crap that Greenpiss and the Sierra Club want. I wouldn't be surprised if she tried to shut down fracking.

    "By the time we get through all of my conditions, I do not think there will be many places in America where fracking will continue to take place." [Hillary: Flint Michigan debate]

    From a page out of Obama's playbook: fracking is fine, assuming it can survive regulation.

    It's the sort of double-speak that would drive Trump's numbers up if he would focus on it instead of going down meaningless bunny trails. It would be as simple as telling the American people what will happen to gasoline prices after Hillary hyper-regulates the fracking industry.

    He should be annihilating her on the actual issues but he's not. It's frustrating to watch.

    Perhaps you need to volunteer for his campaign & straighten that poor narcissist out....

    Seems really simple, you would think the alleged billionaire & self-proclaimed smartest guy in America could figure it out.

    Trump intends to spend like crazy, AND cut taxes. The article in the OP is unbelievable partisan hackery & denial.

    Trump would massively increase the debt. It's not even debatable.

    Cutting taxes will increase employment which in turn converts revenue consumers into tax payers.
