Not corporations. It's far to easy for the big boys to register in a tax haven and run a business in the US. That only hurts the small guys. Getting rid of the loopholes is a good way of raising more. But in the end it must fall onto the citizens of a country to pay for the running costs of that country.

Me too. Trump is a fucking disgusting president for all kinds of reasons, the environment being near the top of my list.
Agree.

No. His immigration policies are the worst ever, because they are based on racism, hate and fear instead of real numbers. It's so flawed that he has to lie like crazy to try to push them through.
Why is it based on racism? Don't just say it is. Give me reasons.

The amount of immigrants coming to the US has been declining for the past 20 years. To fix the the problem, he should be making it easier for immigrants to register and file for immigration, yes, while maintaining a policy to eject all criminals. It will save alot of money, help the economy and increase the tax base at the same time.
Adding people to the work force reduces wages, therefore reducing taxes and adding to the numbers of unemployed relying on the tax payers for welfare. This is why you have to pay more of the costs to get what you want.
