- His tax plans favor the rich.
- His ideas on education and healthcare are irresponsible. Those are sectors that are too important to leave to ‘laboratories of innovation’, with predictably (and aimed for) uneven outcomes, while people are stuck to what is locally available. Business exist to make a profit first. Quality is not the only way to make money, witness the rubbish in circulation. Predictably, predictable sets of citizens will find themselves enjoying rubbish education and healthcare.
- His idea of allowing assault weapons to deter law enforcement (example: DEA), is, ahem, interesting.
- And we might even wonder if he is really good for business. Taking an axe to federal expenses is no guarantee for economical growth.
Or, to put this all more succinctly: if government is bad, even when democratically controlled, why would corporate America, insisting on no control whatsoever, be better? They are not in it for the common weal, are they?
(Edited for clarity. OK, it still does look a bit like a rant, doesn’t it?)

I do have a stake however, as does the rest of the world, with the US, despite rumors, still by far the greatest country on earth. I am amazed by people picking Trump ‘for the economy’. It will be tough to find an economist who supports Trump’s stated economical ideas. But then, what do economists know that Trump doesn’t, I suppose. In the poll, I have to vote Clinton and I have no problem with that at all as she is in my eyes the only serious candidate, but I wish I could pick Michelle Obama. Michelle for president!
