Very authoritarian, in reality, as libertarian economics IS. Very deceptive slogans. Very popular programs on all versions of the right wing. The alt-right is wrong; the libertarian right is wrong; the neo-con right is wrong. If it's right wing, it's wrong! And very dangerous to all of us.
As someone who actually read the President-Elect's tax plan, I know that the top brackets get about a 3% reduction and the middle class gets about 8% reduction. Anyone below that gets an even bigger reduction. The corporate income tax rate goes to 15%, same as Ireland, which should help the US to retain and attract businesses. Its the economy stupid!
