following through?
people seem to be confusing a consistent VOTING record with actual being the President and having to get the House and Senate behind you, unify both parties and actually get them to move in a common direction... his direction.
Presidents aren't kings. Presidents represent one branch of government.
and yeah... you can THEORETICALLY eliminate income taxes by doing this, doing that and doing the other thing. The government can't balance the budget as it is and not overspend. So of course, it makes sense to any totally insane person that removing 30-40% of their revenue is going to improve that.
I'm sure things will work out just fine... he'll remove the income tax, his first day in office (not sure how that would work) - then, being a thoroughly dysfunctional leader, he's going to bring the government together to balance the budget with 30-40% less money than current levels.
then... he'll just keep waving his magic president wand to correct every possible wrong on his own, without Republicans and Democrats.
