Scheduled to start at 8:30 PM Eastern time: C-SPAN is live-streaming the speech here. I will be watching it, and I’ll let you know what I thought of it after it’s done. I imagine that it won’t bedull, at least.

Trump plan slashes taxes for middle class, businesses

 

GOP front-runner Donald Trump rolled out a plan Monday that would slash the top corporate tax rate by more than half while also dropping millions from the income tax rolls.

 

Trump has talked up his tax plan for weeks, noting over and over that he would raise taxes on Wall Street executives who he believes are paying entirely too little to the Treasury.

 

In his plan, the billionaire businessman does target the carried interest provision prized by investment fund managers, in one of several proposals that appear aimed at tapping into the populist anger of the moment.

 

But in other ways, Trump’s tax plan fits comfortably within decades of GOP orthodoxy, based on the idea that a tax plan that sparks economic growth will help struggling middle-income families, and overlaps with plans released by other candidates, like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

 

Trump would cut the top individual tax rate from 39.6 percent to 25 percent, while totally scrapping the estate tax. All businesses would pay a maximum rate of 15 percent, a steep drop from the top corporate rate of 35 percent.

 

The seven income tax brackets would be collapsed into four brackets of 0 percent, 10 percent, 20 percent and 25 percent, while the tax rate on capital gains would see a slight dip, from 23.8 percent to 20 percent. Single filers earning up to $25,000 annually would face no income tax, as would married couples earning up to $50,000 a year.

Trump Pretty Much Says He Supports Universal Health Care During 60 Minutes Interview

Scott Pelley: What's your plan for Obamacare?

 

Donald Trump: Obamacare's going to be repealed and replaced. Obamacare is a disaster if you look at what's going on with premiums where they're up 40, 50, 55 percent.

 

Scott Pelley: How do you fix it?

 

Donald Trump: There's many different ways, by the way. Everybody's got to be covered. This is an un-Republican thing for me to say because a lot of times they say, "No, no, the lower 25 percent that can't afford private. But--"

 

Scott Pelley: Universal health care.

 

Donald Trump: I am going to take care of everybody. I don't care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody's going to be taken care of much better than they're taken care of now.
