No. He wants to raise not lower taxes on millionaires with over 14 milljon. He ssid specifically he is NOT going to cut or reform social security.
So i dont know where you got your info but you are stating the opposite of his positions.

I am talking about small business professionals when I say punishing success - if you make over 14M a year you qualify to be on the forbes list if you are a CEO. He will work to reform social security in that he will most likely change how the trust fund is filled ~250k will probably be the new cut off.

I just was amazed at his positions. It seems like today we are usually forced to choose from either someone who repeats dogma that hasnt worked for 30 yrs or someone who repeats the opposite dogma that hasnt worked for thirty years and both of them really are lying anyway and will just work for the big corporate lobbists or saudi arabia.
Trump is the first one to come along ( except maybe sanders) with actual practical no dogma positions designed to save programs, address corruptions and problems inthe systems and who actually talks straight.
I frankly am relieved he is inthe race. I was resigned to the endless lies pf bush and clinton who both are either beholden to wallstreet or saudi arabia or the thin hope that bernie sanders might overcome incredible odds and win a primary and then the general ( the general would be his real hurdle).
But Trump is smart and has the right middle of the road common sense positions as well as the negotiating power and business experience to really put the usa on the right track again.
I honestly feel hopeful again.
