Multinational corporations with money parked abroad currently face a 35 percent tax rate if they reclassify it to the United States.

Carson told Fox he "would declare a holiday on that tax" to bring such funds back but would require companies to invest 10 percent of that money into American communities to create U.S. jobs, although he gave no specific details.

Just like a good conservative, forcing businesses to make an investment, free market principles at its finest.

    If we want to give the free market a chance, we would need to have anarchy. And I'll be honest...I'm willing to give anarchy a try over what we have now.

    We're either smart enough to take care of ourselves without leaders and authority or we're too dumb to elect people to do a good job of leading us.

    None of this matters. In 20 years robots will have all the jobs and people will be useless mouths to feed.

    If I store my grain in a pyramid do I get to keep it tax free?

    Other than the fact that I'm a white male without a gun, anarchy sounds decent.

    At some point, the sleeping giant of middle America is going to wake up and knock the shit out of the left and the right.

    I'm hoping anyway.

    Carson... Everything that is wrong with the religious right and the Republican party personified. Worse than Trump IMO. Blowhard city.

    Since Hillary is going to win why don't you outline her plan for us hondo?

    That's why I think it's going to fall to a traditional candidate like Rubio or Bush. Or it could reside with Trump still. No way a Carson or Fiorina gets the nomination.

    Just look at the media, both left and right wing. They blow up Trump's comments, but there's a faction of the right wing that gets off on that. What they haven't done is dig into Trump's past yet like they are doing with Carson. Fiorina they have started digging into as well. So Rubio and Bush hang out, then they will make a major push at the beginning of the year.

    Remember, the last two Republican nominations, Iowa did not decide the winner.

    Jeb ain't getting nominated for shit. He's the runt of the litter and the loser of that family. Give me Kaisch or Christie or Rand. Fuck all the others.

    Trump has been a public figure forever with his past and present well known.

    But as President? I mean sure, he's better than every Democrat, but he's not the best out of the Republicans. Maybe he should have run as a Democrat.

    I'm pointing out that he is scandal proof. Kind of like Hillary thinks she is. Trump is what a lot of the alleged non partisan types claim they want. Not religious, fiscal conservative, likes to party and doesn't care about the social issue stuff. It's why he is doing well.

    You're right, the shocker is that he is doing it as a Republican.

    BTW, Hillary isn't the best out of the democrats, nor is Bernie, but if no one has the guts to take her on then they don't deserve to be President.

    Back to the point, the media isn't going to dig up anything on Trump that hurts him. That shit just helps him. How many candidates this day and age can withstand the RACIST police and come out stronger?

    Carson will probably benefit as well. The country hates the media with a passion. It's well earned

    Like Obama did?

    Look, you dried, vaginal blood spots already had your revolution. What did it lead to?

    The path to extinction of the middle class.

    A near exponential redistribution of wealth to the top .01%

    And about 40% of the population sucking off the teet of the government at the expense of the disappearing middle class. Bravo!

    And you want more of that?????

    Only way Trump leaves this race now is with an iron clad exclusive to develop Cuba as one Giant kickass resort Casino... Including exclusive control of the permitting process for airports, marinas, golf courses, hotels, housing and casinos.

    Wait until he realizes everything goes into a blind trust if he were to actually win. I foresee this possibility: he wins a couple states then drops out and leaves it to the career politicians. He's actually a smart guy building his brand right now.

    I know I've been hard on you and it seems like I do nothing but criticize and insult you but this is a horrible take.

    Trump is well aware of the blind trust thing. He is not going to wake up one morning and realize it. He is a smart guy but his brand is built already. He's older than I am.

    He has actually had to give up a couple of his major brands already - The Apprentice and Miss Universe. Miss Universe was taken away because of his speech.

    I did not and do not understand why a billionaire would want the pay cut and lifestyle reduction to be President. I still find it hard to believe he actually wants the job. But he knows what he is doing going in.

    Lol you criticize and insult me? I just thought it was banter.

    But yeah, I guess that's what I'm saying. I'm being a dick when I say "when he realizes it goes into a blind trust". Really I'm sure he knows it, that's why it wouldn't surprise me if he won some states them backed out.

    I'm not saying that's what will happen, but it's more likely than him actually going to the RNC convention as the nominee.

    The only reason I can see for anyone wanting to be president is their is stuff about their past they aren't sure about and want others to do the research for free.
