This thread validates these points pretty well. smile
Trumpism is not and never has been modern conservatism! Trump is populist pretending to be Republican/Conservative. The only thing that you got right in this comment pdx rick is the desire of Republicans/Conservatives to slash taxes on corporations. No corporation has or will ever pay any taxes. All of the money all businesses get, whether it is a small business on Main St. or the largest corporation in the world, comes from us, the consumers. If we don't buy a product from a business it does not make any money. We are the source of revenue for all businesses. The taxes all businesses pay is part of the price we pay for their products.

The state can never straighten the crooked timber of humanity.
I'm a conservative because I question authority.
