Today, 36% of American households today pay no income taxes, and that number would grow to 50%.

Less people with skin in the game. I thought conservatives wanted everyone to pay at least a little so they felt more ownership when the government wastes their money.

When the other side of the ledger is going to get chopped big time. The extra waste by government that Trump plans to cut, it turns this hackneyed argument into agitprop.

They’ve already got skin in the game in payroll, sales, state, and other taxes.

Just looking at their tax situation with the federal government, however. Better to trade subsidies for lower or eliminated tax rates, as high subsidies and high taxes give double incentives for people not to work.

It looks like Trump’s plan is meant to encourage people both to work and to be hired in an invigorated economy.
