    Well, I didn't start out with what he did, so I guess we'll never know.
    I also have a sense of right and wrong that keeps me from scamming people.

    My problem isn't with rich people. It's with rich people who say "Fuck you. I've got mine."
    My problem is with the ones who act like poor people are part of the problem and they need to pay more taxes.
    They seem to think rich people are being persecuted, that they're a minority and it's wrong to discriminate against them.
    One asshole actually thinks everyone, regardless of how much they make, should pay the same dollar amount in taxes, not the same percentage of income, the same dollar amount because if food costs the same for everyone why shouldn't taxes.
    Never mind that he can afford to pay more than I can.

    A. You didn't reply to my post.

    2. Trump made money for a number of years in AC. Nearly all of the hotels in AC are now in bankruptcy and/or closed, due to competition from Indian casinos.

    C. Trump has over 100 businesses that he's involved in -- it's all in his financial disclosure -- and only a couple ever ever been put into bankruptcy. That's a good record, not a bad one.

    I wouldn't vote from Trump. I also think if you have a problem with the rich not paying taxes, you'd be on board with his tax plan. You wouldn't have to pay a dime, unless you're somehow making more than $25K.

    If you think Gates and Jobs didn't screw people over, well, you're clueless.

    Trump's "financial disclosure," like everything else he utters/ publishes, is absolute bullshit -- a complete lie.
