From his book: "“We need a tax system that is fair and smart—one that encourages growth, savings, and investment. It’s time to stop punishing hard work and entrepreneurship. Specifically, we need to do five things.
First, the death tax needs to die.
Second, we need to lower tax rates on capital gains and dividends—two more taxes that are proven jobs and investment killers.
The third thing we need to do is lower the U.S. corporate tax rate from 39 percent to zero.
Fourth, it’s time to get tough on those who outsource jobs overseas and reward companies who stay loyal to America.
Here’s my income tax plan: • Up to $30,000, you pay 1 percent • From $30,000 to $100,000, you pay 5 percent • From $100,000 to $1 million, you pay 10 percent • On $1 million or above, you pay 15 percent"
He did say he would like to impose a ONE TIME tax on the VERY wealthy to pay off the national debt. That was several years ago before Obama ran it up so much so that may not even be a choice now.
But you go ahead and believe whatever you choose.
