It will be interesting to see the “spin” on this from the Trump supporters here on FR.
This is Trump’s strategy now.....he has big GOP support, but still very weak among the general public, so he is pivoting to build his poll numbers against Clinton, Sanders or other potential rivals.

The actual tax brackets have a lot less to do with tax reform and government reform.
The much, much more important point is how deductions are handled. Nobody talks about this. Deductions and sweetheart exemptions are where the action is on tax reform.
These same people DEMANDED conservatives vote for Romney. Thus anything can be rationalized. After that exercise into hard liberalism, Donnie will have to campaign on practically mandatory abortion, optional into the 24th year before half these people even begin to question his ‘conservatism’.
IMHO: I agree that he may be starting to work the general public. I disagree with others who say "he's making it up as he goes." He may not be everything but he didn't get to where he is by being that stupid. As for working the general public, that makes sense. He's already blitzkrieg'd the GOPe and established his dominance there. But not Cruz, of course. He's not directing anything against Ted as it is likely he would offer him a place in the administration.

Not nearly as interesting as seeing the pathologies exhibited by Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers.
What DT is actually proposing is a drastic simplification of the tax code combined with a drastic reduction in the rates. If you actually take pen to paper, most people will find that their taxes drop dramatically.
For those of us who are old enough to remember, this is remarkably similar to a tax plan championed by none other than Ronald Reagan. EXCEPT the tax rate reductions and simplification proposed by DT are far more drastic.
But of course for the TDS sufferer, this sort of proposal is an example of “liberalism” at it’s worst.
No spin. I just read his book The top tax bracket is 15%. My taxes would go way down.
