Think about that--a president who thinks his constituents make too much money!

Trump argued during the Tuesday-night Fox Business Network debate that US wages are "too high"— and he didn't back off the next morning when pressed.
"It's a tough position politically," Trump admitted during an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"We have to become competitive with the world. Our taxes are too high, our wages are too high. Everything is too high. We have to compete with other countries."
The leading Republican p**********l candidate raised eyebrows with his initial comment, which was in response to a question about raising the minimum wage.
The National Journal's Josh Kraushaar labeled Trump's answer a "huge debate blunder." He noted that Trump has risen to the top of the polls by striking a populist note on some big economic issues.
Trump has railed against the tax system for unfairly benefiting "hedge fund guys," and he has proposed to eliminate the so-called carried interest loophole in the tax code.
He also opposes free-trade deals supported by Washington Republicans and, unlike some of his rivals, Trump supports a graduated income tax that would result in billionaires like himself paying higher rates.

Why, do you think he changed his mind? He's already driven Harley Davidson overseas. Do you think HD's wages are going up or going down?

That's not the issue...The issue is the big money is going toward large leisure touring bikes and diesel pushers.
The big boy toy lenders/finance co's all know this.
