Clinton shrugs off Trump shakeup, attacks his tax plan

“Donald Trump doesn’t need a tax cut”. “Even though Trump is on the right side of a 45-41 percent split among Hawkeye State independent voters, Clinton is able to tie him because she is getting 97 percent of Democrats compared to his 85 percent of Republicans”.

Two days after Donald Trump came to OH to lay out his foreign policy plan, Hillary Clinton is expected to tout her economic plan in Cleveland today – and sharply question Trump’s because it would give himself a $4 billion tax break, enough to provide health care for every veteran in OH, eliminate hundreds of thousands of Ohioans’ student loan debt, or build hundreds of new schools.

“The scary thing for Republicans in the Virginia and Colorado numbers is that they show a possible Hillary Clinton landslide in states that only eight years ago leaned GOP and before that had been GOP strongholds”, said Peter A. Brown, the Quinnipiac poll’s assistant director.

As the GOP continues to look for ways to gain the Black vote for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, it seems “The Donald” is trying every and anything to come out ahead. He added: “She is against the police, believe me”.

Clinton also is expected to make the economic debate very personal by continuing to pound on what she calls the “Trump Loophole”, which she says is a backdoor tax break he wants so billionaires and millionaires like himself can cut their tax rate in half on a substantial portion of their income, to a rate lower than many middle-class OH families.

She pledged again that she would not raise taxes on middle-class earners but Republicans noted that during her time in the Senate she had voted in favour of Democratic budget plans that would have raised taxes on American earning less than 250,000 United States dollars (£190,000) a year. She has also pledged to eliminate the so-called “carried interest” loophole for private equity and hedge fund managers who pay lower rates on their investment profits.

The businessman would eliminate the estate tax which is now applied to estates worth more than $10.9 million for married couples.
