By the way, for those conservatives who--for some reason--worry about Trump on national security, Trump recently named Senator Jeff Sessions, the stalwart conservative senator from Alabama, as the chairman of his National Security Advisory Committee.
As for the complaint that Trump's tax plan gives more tax breaks to the rich, yes, that's because the rich are taxed much more heavily than any other group and pay a hugely disproportionate amount of taxes (for example, the top 1% pay 45% of all federal income taxes, and that's not counting the billions they pay in state and local taxes). But, even then, Trump raises some taxes on the rich but gives them breaks on others. If you want more jobs, let employers keep more of their profits so they have more money to invest in expansion, R&D, raises, bonuses, etc.
Yes, Trump's views on trade are very similar to Bernie Sanders' views--that's because Bernie happens to be 90% correct on trade. Sanders realizes that trade deals like NAFTA, CAFTA, etc., have been a disaster for American industry and American workers. Oh, those trade deals have some American-based multinational corporations a lot of money, but they've been terrible for American workers and our industrial base.
As for the guy ("Snouter") who said my avatar is of "some fag tea party nerd from hundreds of years ago," obviously his mind is beyond persuasion at this point. And, judging from his grammar and syntax, and verbiage, he is rather poorly educated anyway.
