Am very show 60% of that money came from tax

Tax is the only way to run a sensible government, the people become actively interested and want to know everything the government become active to impress the people. .. thats it.. imagine if an average Nigerian pays a tax of 200k per year .. Thats around 32 trillion. ..per year.. Tell me the excuse they will have not to fix road and electricity in five years, we will have loans available for unemployed graduates, bail outs to alling industries

We can even triple salaries and still be good.. .

Infact vote mrvitalis for president

In developed countries, transparency regarding the national budget is the standard norm but there is nothing impressive about the US national budget. Their government debt to GDP is at 104%. This is HUGE.

Now Donald Trump wants to lower taxes and at the same time invest in infrastructure to create jobs. It is called deficit spending. This is what Obama was doing to manoeuvre the country out of the recession caused by the financial crisis. The economist John M. Keynes, who first recommended deficit spending in times of recession to boost the economy, also demanded that the government saves in times of economic recovery to pay off the debt and have savings for the next recession. Who is going to do that?

If Trump lowers taxes and at the same time spends more, the US government debt will skyrocket again. One can only imagine the mess they are creating for themselves if Trump actually implements such policies.

Oh, and let's not forget the businesses that he promised to bring back to the US back from China and Mexico. He will have to promise lower taxes to them as well and possibly deregulate some of the rights worker unions have been fighting for so the 'poor white men', his biggest support group, will have to work under the conditions people in developing countries have to cope with.

The person they voted for to save them, will make the working conditions of the little man a living hell if he continues as he began.

I swear, some people are too stewpid to vote. They should not be allowed to vote for their own security.

Having said that, Donald rocks! He said it was easy to win the election.
I agree. Say what people want to hear and the victory is yours. The oldest trick in politics is to tell people that you are going to lower the taxes. Have you ever heard a party campaign with the promise to increase the taxes, even if necessary?

Trump this, Trump that. Can't you give the man a break?

All Trump's policies, even his view on climate change are foundational GOP manifestoes. He might have drifted to far right, but doesn't have a policy that doesn't have a GOP signature written over it.

Tax cut is a GOP's manifesto, while Dems prefer tax hike.

Yes! Hillary promised that. I'll like to refer you to the first Presidential debate. It is not even her policy, she only reiterating Dems' manifesto.

Before shouting Trump next time, make sure you have gone through GOP manifesto.

Bunch of Nigerians forming ITK.
