Interesting how Trump is advocating for "socialist" tax policies and the supporters are silent.

Donald Trump says he’s OK with raising taxes on himself
Donald Trump says he wants to change the U.S. tax code and is “OK with” raising taxes on himself.
“You’ve seen my statements, I do very well,” the Republican presidential frontrunner said in an interview on Bloomberg TV’s “With All Due Respect.” “I don’t mind paying some taxes.” Trump said he would change and simplify the tax code, and he targeted hedge-fund profits, which are taxed at a lower rate than regular income. “I would take carried interest out, and I would let people making hundreds of millions of dollars a year pay some tax, because right now they are paying very little tax and I think it’s outrageous,” Trump said. He added he wants to lower taxes for the middle class.
