That is why happy, very high top tax rates were in place up to Reagan. The more money you had, the bigger chunk you owed uncle Sam. That went for individuals as well as businesses. You hear claims that we taxes corporations at the highest tax rate, but the truth is, none of them actually pay the 35% rate. they game the system through various loopholes, or park money offshore. the gap between what folks owe, and what they actually pay, is growing, in 2010 the IRA estimated the gap was 500B, its likely higher now. In short, if companies and the upper class paid what they actually owe- we'd have a sizable surplus right now, of likely 200B. No need to jack up tax rates- although that is likely what is needed any way.

Health care needs to be revamped big time, the CEO's of all the pharmacies should go to jail did you see that an Epi pen in England id the same cost to make at only $1.00 here in USA but they charge 100 dollars here, errr, I mean they raised it to 600 dollars, and then lie and are using the same ingredients and say oh we have this one for only 300 dollars, I say take the woman CEO and put her up against Trumps wall and shoot her, the fricken crook did you see the raise and bonus she got for doing that ? dear God is there ANY honest people remaining in this world?

This whole drugs program issue is about as bad as it gets. The large drug manufacturers figure they win whichever candidate takes office.

This whole health thing is BS. Reaching for a reason to vote for Trump because of VP is bogus. Neither of the two is Presidential material.
Anyhow, I think Clinton is just as healthy as Trump, and since women live longer, Trump would be more likely to die in office.

by 2 years, really I think Clinton is not a healthy woman. I agree, neither are going to help fix this country.

Clinton is as healthy as Trump. This should not even be an issue for this election. This whole side show, which includes the health issue is being orchestrated by the Trump people to hide the fact their candidate is not suited to be President of the US.
Trump is a narcissistic, devious, corrupt individual, who is constantly talking about himself as being "great," instead of dealing with reality.
If he's elected, he'll bring disgrace to our country, and use his influence to line his own pocket, via his children.
There are absolutely no redeeming qualities for him, and quiet honestly, I'd agree with Clinton that nearly half of his supporters are radical elements.

Really TW, Clinton had a concussion, (that lingered) she just a few days ago was trying to recover from Pneumonia> One news clip showed her walking with help to her Limo and two steps or so before the door, she was caught by her people from collapsing to the ground.I really feel that if it were at all possible they should delay the Presidential election and find two more candidates. She is slow with her thought process. Dumpy Trump shoots from the hip without thinking and just has no clue on how the "political System " works.He thinks because what he says he can do just like that. Wrong!,,

Clinton isn't ill. She just fell ill, and has recovered. We all have that happen.
Four weeks ago, I felt sick. It kept getting worse, but I kept going. Had a lot of things I had to do, and wanted to do. Two weeks ago, it got pretty bad, and I ended up in the emergency room of the hospital, where they immediately admitted me, and started me on an IV.
It seems I had a urinary tract infection. It ended up going sepsis. My kidneys, and other organs, were shutting down. They said I got to the hospital just in time. As little as six hours later, and they may not have been able to stop my kidneys and other organs from being damaged.
I spent three days in the hospital. I'm still recovering, and it's been two weeks now, since I got out. Doctor told me earlier this week it will take another couple of weeks to recover fully. I asked if that was due to my age, and he just laughed. "No! It's because you were sick. Everyone takes time to heal."
Point is, I think Clinton may have had walking pneumonia for at least two weeks, and pushed it off as nothing more than a cold. I had it once, did the same thing, and ended up on antibiotics just like her. I was in my 30s, and it took me a week to bounce back. She's back on the trail and it was less than a week.
This whole "health issue" is another smoke screen by Trump. He has absolutely no platform, and no vision of how he can reach any of the BS goals he's suggesting he will, if elected.
If anyone trusts a person who has to "tell us" how important he is with each breath, they're making a big mistake. This man has a superiority complex that makes him believe he's above all of us, and can pretty well do, and say, whatever he wants, and it's fine, even if he knows it's a total lie. He gets elected and I'll lose all faith in this country, and the people. I fought for this nation and think people are selling out to a racist.

hes absolutely a racist, AND a moron. as president he is bound by what the Constitution says and what the supreme Court has said he can and cannot do. as a CEO, you have the final say on what the company does. But business is not government, because government has far more things to consider when it does something than when a business does something. the primary goal of business, is making money. well there are a lot of things government does that does not make money, and indeed, many of their actions, such as creating a national park, are done for the intangible benefit of promoting the general welfare. you cannot put a dollar sign on the national parks, although when asked to put a value, the public put a value on the parks of about 100B, which I think is a low amount.I think the parks are worth at least 500B. trump has shown no interest in public spaces or preserving history, when asked to preserve the historic artwork outside the Bon Tiller building in New York city that he was tearing down to build a hotel , Trump promised he would, then had the artwork destroyed anyway. He turned the Old Post Office outside the White House into a garish monstrosity. the guy lies shamelessly, even when confronted on an obvious lie, he doubles down, or says something outrageous to distract from the lie. Whatever you may think of Clinton, she at least has shown a basic competence in running her affairs as senator and Secretary of State. With her as president, we wont be giving Russia a free hand, as Trump has threatened. The man has been sued for stiffing people who worked for him, thousands of times, over amounts that a true billionaire wouldn't haggle over, or even miss . If you are worth 5 billion, whats $ 200,000 or 50,000 to you? Pocket change. a true billionaire would just write a huge check to start a new school at an established university, rather than passing off an infomercial how-to course as a 'University'. Trump makes Nixon look like a honest man. He would make George w Bush look like a great president by contrast.

Pneumonia can kill you, I know, my mother had it and was in the Hospital for 10 days. I am just saying both these fools are liars and both work for the money.

Yes, pneumonia can kill you. She's more than likely been inoculated with Prevnar 13, and the other as well. I know I have. That reduces the effects today, and makes most cases fall into the category of walking pneumonia where a couple of days down and you go back to work with a short period of limited exertion. She's going to be fine.
I certainly won't downplay the issue, but I think about Trump also commented that John McCain, at his age, "probably won't" survive another six year term in office.
That comment was also totally false. He is by far likely to survive his term effectively. This idea of "putting people out to pasture because they're old" is pure BS.
Anyhow, I am not certain Trump is that healthy. His BS offerings of his health check ups, etc, are totally short of what a candidate should be showing. Maybe he's the one who won't make it through the next four years because of health. Hard to tell.
