| Have you actually read his tax plan? "If you are single and earn less than $25,000, or married and jointly earn less than $50,000, you will not owe any income tax. That removes nearly 75 million households – over 50% – from the income tax rolls. They get a new one page form to send the IRS saying, 'I win,'" "All other Americans will get a simpler tax code with four brackets – 0%, 10%, 20% and 25% – instead of the current seven. This new tax code eliminates the marriage penalty and the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) while providing the lowest tax rate since before World War II." "No business of any size, from a Fortune 500 to a mom and pop shop to a freelancer living job to job, will pay more than 15% of their business income in taxes." I think I'll just leave it there. If you read that and still think "this is the man for the job", then I'm not sure what more can be said. https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/tax-reform |
I've found that usually when people say things like this, as if the conclusion is extremely obvious, it's because they actually can't articulate why they have the position that they have.
Could you better articulate your point? Here's what I know of what Trump has said:
1) Yes, considerably less tax revenue 2) Which is justifiable because of a massive reduction of our military, and because of vague "waste fraud and abuse".
I guess what I'm getting at is: every single politician talks about cutting taxes. I think there is quite a bit more to be said on this topic.
