Millennials LOVE Bernie’s Tax Plan…Until They’re Told It’s Trump’s
Daily Caller ^ | 10/20/17 | Robert Donachie

President Donald Trump’s tax plan seems to really resonate with millennials, but only when presented as if it were a proposal from Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

Campus Reform asked a number of students at George Washington University if they supported some of the features of Trump’s tax plan, but sold the provisions as key parts of Sanders’s vision for tax reform.

The students interviewed were incredibly supportive of a tax credit to make it easier for Americans to have and raise children, lowering the tax rate on small businesses and eliminating the estate tax, which is also called “the death tax.”

Once they realized that the features were all actually part of the Trump platform, however, students said they were pleasantly surprised but still wary of the proposal because it is associated with the current administration.

More proof that lefties can’t think critically and get easily swayed by what they perceive as popular. Perfect way to be brainwashed.

One of the major reasons for the seething hatred of Trump is that the Left senses that it has been wrong about everything in the world. Their whole view of the world is at risk of exploding. Their definition of themselves as “the good people” may fall apart during the next 4 years.

If Trump can stabilize foreign affairs?
If Trump can rescue the US economy?
If young people can have careers, pay down their debts, and buy houses?
If Blacks actually start doing better?

The Left will wake up and realize that they are dumb asses. They can’t have that. They sense that Trump may be remarkably competent. And they need to stop him before he has a chance to solve too many problems.

Oops..they are thinking (?): ‘No, it can’t be Trump. We hate him, but the tax idea is so great!’

Probably some of the same geniuses from the “education” system that signed a petition to ban “dihydrogen monoxide” because it seeped into everything and saturated the ground/plants and everything else it touched....
