Trump On A Wealth Tax: ‘I Think That’s A Very Conservative Thing’

The Daily Caller reports:

Has Donald Trump really backed away from the gigantic wealth tax he proposed over a decade ago?

In 1999, Trump supported a one-time 14.25 percent tax on wealthy Americans and trusts over $10 million in order to sure up the social security trust fund and erase the national debt, which at the time was just under $6 trillion. As Trump began to flirt with running for president as a Republican four years ago, he began to distance himself from his proposal. He has certainly not made it a cornerstone of his current presidential campaign.

Just a reminder.
