Point one: Buchanan laughed at Trump's tax plan, saying it was a recipe for
massive capital flight. Makes me think of the Hitler quote Doug has in _Wall
Street_.
Point two: So where is he going to get the money to rectify income
disparities? America's "foreign enemies"? That wouldn't be very isolationist
of him.
Point three: There are other "democracies" with greater income diparities
than the U.S.
