2nd generation goldman sachs partner

donor to both Democrats and Republicans

wants to cut corporate taxes unsurprisingly

oh and the best part

Billionaire George Soros hired him in 2003 to start a new business focused on buying risky debt.

I wonder if Alex Jones is outraged? probably not. he would be if hillary had nominated this guy.

And yes, I would have preferred Joe the Plumber.

So much for being a populist outsider who's against corruption.

    The corporate tax cuts is to create an incentive for companies like Apple who have over $200 billion in overseas accounts, to bring the money back to this country.

    yes. it's standard republican/conservative policy. I really just threw it in at the end.
    It's the fact that he partnered and worked for the evil george soros that I find so hilarious.

    Don't like that either, but I'm definitely in favor of the corporate tax cuts, which should bring in a huge immediate influx of tax revenue.

    I've heard very good arguments to eliminate corporate taxes all together, as it would take a lot more of the lobbyists influence out of the elections. They create so many tax loopholes for various companies anyway.

    One has to be a high level sociopath to work at Goldman Sachs. He'll fit perfectly in our current government.

    Mnuchin and Ross will make a great team. I'm looking forward to real pro growth leadership that has been so sorely lacking.

    You sound bitter

    Hillary was fully funded by Wall Street and Soros. Not much of a choice. Maybe wait for Inauguration Day before we claim defeat? Guy knows his way around the swamp. The boss isn't bought and paid for like Hillary

    Makes perfect sense to me.

    Frank Abagnale, Jr. provides security consulting.

    Why wouldn't you hire someone who knows all the crooked shit Wall Street guys do to clean them up?

    No. A corporate tax cut will not bring Apple cash home. A one tax holiday that has been discussed might.

    Either way, Apple has so much American cash they don't know how to spend, the foreign money will just go to shareholders through a dividend. Which is fine by me, I have quite a bit of Apple stock.

    You seem butt hurt over things that don't matter. Ross and Mnuchin are highly talented and highly successful, Ross as among other things, a turn around specialist and Mnuchin in banking and investments. The sweeping proposals these two are currently working to put into action are supported by growth projections that by even the most conservative estimates will get Trump re-elected with ease. I'm guessing that is really the source of your concern as it should be. Your guys just re-elected Pelosi as congressional minority leader, and are considering a radical muslim to head your party. Good luck with that.

    I never defended hillary on her wall street ties. she was never my candidate. I didn't vote for her.
    but by all means, keep defending daddy and his lies no matter what he does.

    the republican party is a cesspool of christian fundamentalists. but that's okay, right. because they are a part of the religion you like.

    Trying to navigate this nonsense was harder then deciphering the goddamn Rosetta Stone.

    Conservative growth projections are fantastic in an economy that is now moving away from free trade?

    The real concern is 4 years from now, and Keith Ellison is a radical Muslim? Huh?

    And somehow this is all connected to dhdawg's observation that the corporate elites and lobbyists which Trump campaigned against are now filling his cabinet?

    Are you drunk? I guess you actually DO keep a bottle in your desk (hi Kim!). I feel like I entered the mind of a 12 year old.

    Seriously, what world are you living in?
