Deregulation often means, lets get around paying as little as we can. Lets get a President who gives a GIANT tax break to the wealthy. Then we will look at the middle and lower incomes.

As to taxes, he raised mine, and I'm comparatively well off. From a personal perspective I didn't like his changes. However, Democrats who perpetually go on about taxing the rich more are mistaken and when they get their way it works out worse for everyone. The USA has the most progressive tax system in the developed world. The rich pay a higher % and the poor and middle class pay a lower % of their income in taxes compared to other places. Democrats who think they can cure poverty and inequality by making the tax system more progressive are mistaken. It hasn't worked so far and it won't work in the future.
