It's also about the tax code. It should be totally abolished to wipe out all the loopholes.
Trump's tax plan makes sense and treats income earners with some respect for once:

Although I respect Trump's plan and believe he is a good businessman, I am a firm believer that EVERYONE should have some skin in the game, and pay their share of taxes. We have way too many folks voting for politicians primarily on what is offered to them, rather than what is good for our country. And that is why all these young college students want to vote for Sanders. He is offering them something that is impossible for him to promise. Free college is impossible without everyone paying for it, for the rest of their lives. That means increased taxes in order to fund that freebie. He also wants to give everyone gov health care. Also at a major cost. But, let's go back to Trump's plan, which is much of what Bush W did too. It made the lower 47% totally free of responsibility by their not paying taxes. EVERYONE can pay taxes according to their ability. We have state sales taxes and no one complains about them. If we did away with income taxes and just charged sales taxes, everyone would contribute. The rich would actually pay more taxes than they are now. The seniors would only pay when they spent money. Their savings where they live off of the interest would be safe from taxation until they spent money.
But, I digress. Trumps plan is all well and good, but not feasible to pay off the year to year deficit, let alone pay down on the national debt.
I am not voting for him, not because of that reason but other reasons.
What we need after Obama is someone that understands the political system and how D.C. works and also be able to work with EVERYONE in the government, without kissing anyone's @ss. That's hard to find, but we do have some decent candidates.
Cruz is not even in my consideration. He is not only abrasive with his own party and not at all liked in congress, but he does not have the experience.
I will vote for any Republican that is nominated, but I will not vote to nominate Cruz or Trump.
I will not disrespect anyone that is planning to vote for one of the GOP candidates that are not my choice, but I will give my reasons while attempting not to disrespect the candidate.
On the other hand, I have no respect for the criminal in the other party or the socialist.
