Trump Tags Larry Kudlow To 'Fix' His Tax Plan
The above video from September of 2008 gives you a small idea of the leanings of CNBC's Larry Kudlow. He makes pro-Wall Street look like a nomination to sainthood.
According to this viral article in Politico, Kudlow and Stephen Moore of the Heritage Foundation (of course) have been tapped to "fix" Donald Trump's Tax Plan.
I get a sense that the necessary qualifications for team Trump membership are (a) has TV presence, especially in the New York market and (b) sucks up to the Donald.
Kudlow definitely meets both qualifications. Media Matters:
When...John Harwood pointed out that economists have called the plan unrealistic, Trump replied: "Then you have to get rid of Larry Kudlow, who sits on your panel, who is a great guy, who came out the other day and said, 'I love Trump's tax plan.'"
Kudlow affirmed his support for Trump's tax plan following the [Oct 29 GOP] debate, stating: "I've endorsed Donald's 15 percent corporate tax rate many times. ... He's spot on. And I'm honored that he mentioned me. Honored." The CNBC contributor has tweeted that Trump is a "first-rate person. I could vote for him."
