WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Sunday he was open to raising taxes on the rich, backing off his prior proposal to reduce taxes on all Americans and breaking with one of his party’s core policies dating back to the 1990s.

“I am willing to pay more, and you know what, the wealthy are willing to pay more,” Trump told ABC’s “This Week.”

Trump’s call for higher taxes on the wealthy is a break with Republican presidential nominees who have staunchly opposed tax hikes for almost three decades. Higher taxes have been anathema to many in the party since former President George H.W. Bush infuriated fellow Republicans by abandoning a pledge not to raise taxes and agreeing to an increase as part of a 1990 budget deal.

Democrats, including presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, have pressed for increased taxes on the wealthiest Americans for years.

The Republicans are going to have a hard time following someone who casually proposes tax increases on the rich.

Maybe, but they've all but character assassinated Hillary. Some people literally think she's Satan with how media reports on her :laughga: 

I don't see this as being an issue when you compare this to the Bernie bros who will vote for Trump or NO ONE just to spite the Democratic establishment for not fully endorsing Bernie (because THAT actually has potential to cost Hillary the election :saladga: )

Anyway, a mess, a kii, a cackle. Let's hope this really WAS just a plot to secure the Clinton election from the start with his ignorant rhetoric. I'd say I'm surprised that it was THIS effective, but people are victims of the society that they are raised in; or the society that raises them I should say :derpga: It's not surprising that people tend to be ignorant and often choose to be, nor is it surprising that people have narrow-sighted worldviews and like children try to assimilate and accommodate new information to fit those worldviews, like schemas :green:

Has this man been consistent about anything? :crossed:

No? :toofunny:

Remember when he held, like, five different stances on abortion in one week? Ranging from "women should have access to safe and legal abortion" to "there should be some form of punishment for women who have abortions" :smh:
