Trump needs something quick and catchy, to explain the basic concept of his tax plan for the public. The best example I can think of is Herman Cain’s “999” plan. He didn’t last long as a candidate, but his taxation plan did get a lot of air time. It was both catchy and fiscally sound. Cain’s lack of existing foreign policy helped to do him in. Plus, of course Ginger White, who seems to have disappeared ever since then.
Proposing tax cuts are all well and good. But you’d better have spending cuts to go along with them.
