Yes, it is a progressive tax system. If you work overtime, you will still make more than if you didn't. The tax rates are fair, and taxes are not punishment.
The concept of "smaller government", unobtainable thus far by both Democrats and Republicans alike, has as one of its major purposes the reduction of taxes. If taxes are raised, then odds are you would not get a smaller government. Trump is just an egomanaical Big Swinging Dick that makes up his policies as he goes along: the only thing he really wants is to be President: his ego is everything: he could give a shit about the country, its people or the policies of the government, The number one only thing Trump wants is to satisfy his enormous ego by being recognized as the Greatest Big Swinging Dick of all time.
Should the impossible occur and he was elected, he would discover that it would cost a fortune to remove 11 million illegals, and that it would cause a major disruption on both sides of the border for a year or more. Most important, Congress would refuse to vote him the money to do it. Hiring enough people to handle the deportations would NOT result in a "smaller government". If this were attempted, we would see mothers being separated from their children every night on the news, we would see teenagers born in this country suing the government. There would be utter chaos. And Trump would suddenly be seen as a puny, flaccid dick that was not long enough to swing ever again.
