Lotsa folks too stupid to know the difference between a tax credit and a tax deduction or what the estate tax is, just the kind of people Trump is counting on to put him in the White House 'cause he's a STRONG LEADER

The thing is, Donald Trump and his economic advisory team of white rich dudes named Steve have literally no idea about what sort of childcare programs would help don't give a shit about poor people, because they have literally no idea about how poor people live. don't feel like it.

Now, aside from some tasteless comments from Der Drumpf about how he might want to have sex with Ivanka if she wasn't his daughter, I haven't heard anything that indicates he actually ever did.

Or, as Trumpy would say, "I gotta tell ya, I hear a lot of people saying - I don't know - saying I molested Ivanka. A lot of that out there. Hear it all over the place, that I molested my daughter. And we're definitely going to look into that."

And as Glenn Beck would point out, he never denied it. He never proved he didn't when it'd be so easy for him to do. Never came out and said it.

Not meaning to truckle, but I think Robyn Pennacchia may well be just the way she describes herself. And concerning Mr. Trump's intent to abolish estate tax - that would benefit the Trump family's estates to the tinkly tune of OVER SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS. Yet he said in a press conference at Trump Tower, "My tax plan is going to cost me a fortune." Dammit. Can it actually be that unlike Robyn, this man is NOT "very modest and truthful always"?

And too also. Those of us not wealthy enough to actually own homes take the standard deduction. That means, it doesn't matter how much you spend on your kid, you're screwed because the standard deduction is larger.

... in Luntzspeak, "paid liars" translates to "remunerated propagandists" - which is how I'd like them introduced on any CNN segment.

They don't actually care about children before they've left the womb, either, or they'd fund prenatal health initiatives. They just like to screw over women.

I bet raising those white tigers with those dressage horses really gets those horses to dancing.

And those same types think that all rich people "worked hard and earned their wealth."

But by cutting taxes on the wealthy job creators and slashing government regulation our economy will just explode! Just like it did under Dubya!
