10. and in Trump world...

In Trump world what does he care if he pays no taxes... and yet makes plenty of money from government freebies like trademark protections, free limited liability protections for corporate owners, etc.

In the end the GOP's plan seems to be create crushing debt with irresponsible tax cuts and spending... all sold to the base that tax cuts create revenue booms... then as the safety net programs are weakened... and the tax burden is shifted down... THEN the GOP might want to pay down debt. It doesn't matter to them if government is crippled with outrageous interest payments... because they'd rather see that money wasted than do anything good for the American People proving that government can be a beneficial force. Of course absent from this dementia is that there might not be any uber rich without government freebies.
