Have you not noticed that Trump ran on a fairly socialist platform?


Seriously? Trump always spun such messages and never gave specifics.

Trumps idea of socialism is privatization and deregulation. He was all over the place on minimum wages. In the Milwaukee Republican debate he was asked if he would raise the minimum wage, and said, "I would not do it.

TRUMP:

I can’t be Neil. And the and the reason I can’t be is that we are a country that is being beaten on every front economically, militarily. There is nothing that we do now to win. We don’t win anymore. Our taxes are too high. I’ve come up with a tax plan that many, many people like very much. It’s going to be a tremendous plan. I think it’ll make our country and our economy very dynamic.

But, taxes too high, wages too high, we’re not going to be able to compete against the world. I hate to say it, but we have to leave it the way it is. People have to go out, they have to work really hard and have to get into that upper stratum. But we can not do this if we are going to compete with the rest of the world. We just can’t do it.

CAVUTO:

So do not raise the minimum wage?

TRUMP:

I would not do it.

(APPLAUSE)
