Earlier in the year he said that many people won't vote for a president based on his economic plan because they feel like no matter what the president says they (the voter) will end up getting screwed so instead many people cling to issues like guns and religon (things that can have real effects on them and that they can control) and vote on those topics. This has been the reality in this country forever, but he points it out and gets bashed.

I actually applaud him for saying the truth on some of these things.

I don't know that I fully support some of his tax plans (for example if you pay zero in taxes I'm not sure you should still be getting money back), but he is calling a spade a spade taxes are a redistribution of wealth no matter how you look at.
