Donald J. Trump has been a target for liberal media for decades now. Traditional media with a few exceptions is dominated by a liberal a point of view. Even media sources that are not supposed to have a political view on anything, like musical magazine Rolling Stones or tech news site Mashable, just to name a few, have a political bias, specially towards liberalism. It is a tough time for traditional media and revenue sources seems to fade away, liberal thinking is more popular now than ever before, mainly to increasing access to higher education and media domination for decades, so it seems appealing for that sort of speech in millennials and younger generations as a safe bet for income. Trump is hated by many people and it is not a new thing. For decades Mr. Trump has been subject to all kind of mocking and ridiculization, in fact everyone joked about his presidential campaign, even the most conservative people around never believed Trump could be a serious presidential nominee or even a presidential runner-up. History has proven all this people wrong.

I personally admire Donald J. Trump as a business man and have read some of his material looking for inspiration, Trump:The Art of the Deal or The Midas Touch co-written by my mentor Robert T. Kiyosaki are must reads for anyone seeking financial independence. What is interesting about Trump and why it is worth reading is the way he overcomes obstacles in life and how persistence can yield greatly in your favor. Business endeavors are not about how to secure a paycheck and how to save money in a bank, is a about overcoming your fears sacrificing your time and your income pursuing your passion.

But the most important aspect of all of this is the struggle with government regulations and tax burdens imposed by the corrupted political institutions, Trump has battled bureaucracy regulations for decades now, and has dodged tax burdens in order to fulfill his real states endeavors. So now you may think, ok Donald Trump is a crooked guy right? maybe or maybe not who knows. But it is a good thing, yes, why? Trump hates taxes and regulations. When Mr. Trump Addressed the republican convention and accepted the nomination as a presidential candidate, he stated: “America is one of the highest-taxed nations in the world”. The point is clear, America has too many taxes and we must eliminate them in order to secure economic growth, Trump has stated that:”Reducing taxes will cause new companies and new jobs to come roaring back into our country”. This is why Trump plans to make a comprehensible tax code reform and eliminate taxes in order to relief the burden suffered by millions of Americans specially the middle class, according to his plan an elimination in revenue tax for individuals is the way to go:

If you are single and earn less than $25,000, or married and jointly earn less than $50,000, you will not owe any income tax. That removes nearly 75 million households – over 50% – from the income tax rolls. They get a new one page form to send the IRS saying, “I win,” those who would otherwise owe income taxes will save an average of nearly $1,000 each. All other Americans will get a simpler tax code with four brackets – 0%, 10%, 20% and 25% – instead of the current seven. This new tax code eliminates the marriage penalty and the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) while providing the lowest tax rate since before World War II. No business of any size, from a Fortune 500 to a mom and pop shop to a freelancer living job to job, will pay more than 15% of their business income in taxes. This lower rate makes corporate inversions unnecessary by making America’s tax rate one of the best in the world. No family will have to pay the death tax. You earned and saved that money for your family, not the government. You paid taxes on it when you earned it.*

This is a good thing. Also The business tax reform is one much needed by the American economy, as stated in Trumps campaign website: “Too many companies – from great American brands to innovative startups – are leaving America, either directly or through corporate inversions. The Democrats want to outlaw inversions, but that will never work. Companies leaving is not the disease, it is the symptom. Politicians in Washington have let America fall from the best corporate tax rate in the industrialized world in the 1980’s (thanks to Ronald Reagan) to the worst rate in the industrialized world. That is unacceptable. Under the Trump plan, America will compete with the world and win by cutting the corporate tax rate to 15%, taking our rate from one of the worst to one of the best.”*

This is a true statement that needs to be addressed immediately, but this taxes will cover mainly small businesses and self employed businessmen which today pay the highest taxes in any part of the world, yet all together they employ the most people in USA or any free market economy. Never seen a political candidate address this issue before.

But this is just one of the aspects of the whole American economy system, Trump also condemned one of the biggest problem yet for any economy in the world, regulations. world economies have reached the point of excessive regulations that can slug any economy and even destroy them in matter of decades like Venezuela for instance. Trump stated in his acceptance speech: “Excessive regulation is costing our country as much as $2 trillion a year, and we will end it. We are going to lift the restrictions on the production of American energy. This will produce more than $20 trillion in job creating economic activity over the next four decades.”.I have seen many of his campaign speeches in many energy economy based states like Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, this economies rely heavily on mining and oil but also on steel production, all of this industries have been crippled by bureaucratic regulation and some of this businesses had to close. Although he only mentions the energy regulations it is obvious that excessive regulations in all aspects are crippling not only the American economy but many of the economies in the world, a good look into the EU is enough to reach to that conclusion. Also Mr. Trump has stated the need of dismantling the Obamacare system and nerf foodstamps, America has become one gigantic welfare state which spends not only billions but Trillions of dollars printing money to people that are not even entitled to use this programs, even though he has stated that foodstamps won’t dissapear it is obvious that needs to be scoped better in order to avoid the abuse on the system.

But talking about reducing taxes is simple but no an easy task to fulfill, and this is where Trump shines away from Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton like Obama or Marco Rubio just to name a few, are political parasites that dedicated their entire lives to the political system and thus they owe a lot of people. Political careers are a give and take endeavor, you can’t make it to congress without corporate friends and political friends but like the old Wall Street says: “there is no free lunch” that means that you owe your friends, your political friends, your corporate friends, even your personal friends and family. This is why at the end politicians owe everybody except their electors and this is why politics is a whole alien monster that cripples its own society. So this means that Donald Trump doesn’t owe anyone? he doesn’t have corporate friends to give? the answers is: not as many. This doesn’t mean that Mr. Trump won’t benefit people with his policies once he is president, he is been endorsed by groups of all sorts and thus he owes them something. At this point Reducing taxes is a task that can only be done by reducing the government and with it regulations and Trumps knows best about this, although he have not traced a full plan on how to reduce the government, he already stated that he will cut spending to about $860 billion dollars in his first 100 days, again that is a bill must pass through congress, but the idea is there. So even if we see Trump as a selfish-narcissist person (like many people do) and even if we look at him as a self benefiting guy the obvious conclusion is he will cut taxes, just by considering it will benefit it’s own businesses.

Many of Donald Trumps political ideas are just politically incorrect or just populist statements, for example building a wall between Mexico and USA is something that is very hard to achieve, considering a gridlocked congress that has rejected any attempt of immigration reform in more than 30 years and i think Trumps presidency won’t be the exception. Building a wall is just not building a wall, no president just can spill out an executive order, congress needs to approve a budget for it in order to build it. This policy has been a Republican banner for decades now, border security. The last bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform which was heavily endorsed by Barack Obama, was approved by a Democratic controlled U.S Senate but buried before being discussed by the Representatives due to a Republican control shift. That said, i do not believe Trump will waste his energy trying to pull out such a difficult endeavor considering his top priority, as it should be, the U.S economy.
