Donald Trump Will Win!

[Ricter]

no need, except to be accurate. We are in a crony capitalism stage of this cycle. Soon the populists may rise up and get rid of the national bank or the bad trade treaties as we have in past cycles. We have seen populists rise up and reform / change the system when those who make the rules get far too greedy. If I were the cronies I would back off for a while give the people what they want. Lower taxes and let the jobs and wages come up naturally without massive immigration.

What evidence can you point to which supports the premise that high taxes are suppressing investment?

that is like asking what evidence can I show that many men like the way Jennifer Anniston, Megan Fox (in transformers) or scarlet johannson, or kate middleton look. its an evolved human nature. you can go to google downloads or you can quickly learn how investments are made if you attempt to raise money for investments.

Investors learn naturally to risk money in exchange for likely return. People seeking that investment money learn to show what their return could be after taxes... because as Buffetts own Charlie Munger says... EBITDA is bullshit earnings.

If taxes are high there is less money to invest and less return worth the risk.

What evidence can you point to which supports the premise that high taxes are suppressing investment?

Trump may like people talking negatively about him.
Seems to motivate him.

The more the phonies talk, the higher his numbers go.

Strange Mr Pickens noted that pattern+ then said 'never Hillary!!'' We would have to say amen to that

That source is the full report.

The IRS says there's no legal reason Trump can't make the tax returns public even as they are under review:

Common sense?

If it's so simple, then please share with us the metrics proving it.

Not even you could deny that investors consider taxes.
but if you wish to carry on with this stupidity.....

Tax free bonds demand/cost a premium.

If it's so simple, then please share with us the metrics proving it.

Sure, so show us proof that investment is being suppressed by high taxes.
