So I know nothing about Vox. But I tried their little taxation calculator found here and it wants to tell me that, economically at least, my best bet is Trump.
Now I'm about the farthest thing from a Trump supporter (and a Clinton supporter for that matter) but I have to say that I can vote with my checkbook especially when we are living in a time when a person can't support themselves on one average job. Is this one calculator enough to make me run to the ticket box, hold my nose, and vote Trump? Not likely. But I find it interesting that, IMO, the taxation has the same affect as I see the candidates over all. Trump has a major affect (though I wasn't expecting it to be positive honestly), Clinton is status quo (which I dislike greatly), and Sanders has a little affect on my taxes but a lot more on the wealthy.
So. Down to brass tacks. Is it realistic that Trump could actually save people money? Is this an advertising gimmick hidden in a political website? Or is Trump just a good enough liar and underhanded businessman that he can sell us a milk cow that is actually a male ram...?
And...debate.
