I'm not a Trumpbot. I won't vote for him. But this is a pretty good plan. I have some questions about it, but it's a good starting point.

It appears to do nothing about payroll taxes, which for many lower wage workers is there greatest tax liability.

Also, I haven't seen the specifics of how this is paid form so that's smoke and mirrors right now.

The article says capital gains is still taxed at a separate rate. I didn't see that, but I may have just overlooked it.

I'm not crazy at all about exempting half of households from federal income taxes. but that is easily remedied bty adding a bottom rate of 1% - 5%.

It still doesn't persuade me to vote for Trump, but kudos for a specific, good plan.

RE: It appears to do nothing about payroll taxes,

It won’t and it can’t.

Payroll taxes go to Medicare and Social Security, which are untouchable as of this time.

They haven’t spoken about those issues in the first two debates at all.
