... and he's happily joining in on the McCain Lie-athon to the White House!
On Larry king, via CNN.com:
Trump: Well, I know John McCain, and John McCain's a great guy, a tremendous guy. I've known him for a long time. And I'm with him, and I'm with him based on the fact that I have great knowledge of John McCain. Also, this is not the right time for tax increases and Obama wants to increase your taxes drastically. So this is not ...
King: In all fairness, he says he doesn't.
Trump: This is not the right time.
King: Obama said 95 percent would be reduced under his plan.
Trump: Well, I'll tell you, the people that create the jobs and the people that really create a lot of things in the country, they're going to be taxed into oblivion. And I'm not even sure when you look really at his tax, I think everybody's going to be taxed a lot more. So I like the fact that taxes won't be raised under McCain.
Notice how quickly "your taxes" became Donald Trump's taxes. And while one could, I suppose, argue that he was referring to Larry King's taxes, it would have made more sense in that context to say "our taxes." No, The Donald was just taking an opportunity to spread The John's bullshit talking point.
Also, another use of the phrase "taxed into oblivion." Which is apparently how the selfish wealthy (as opposed to the wealthy who gladly pay their fair share) see being taxed into being only slightly less wealthy. If going from ultra-mega-rich to super-mega-rich is oblivion, what must those people think of earning less than $250,000 a year? These people want you to vote for their economic interests, because they're afraid of the hellish existence that earning only ten times your income would impose on them.
