The goal is to get closer to zero taxes for everyone. Trump has moved the needle closer to zero for everyone in his plan.

There cannot be, and never will be, "zero taxes for everyone." The government must have some source of revenue to do their necessary, constitutional functions. But to let some citizens get off scot-free while others have to carry the load--progressive taxation--is the height of unfairness and is THE key to the Democrats' appeal. Those who pay no taxes, who have no skin in the game, love it and call for higher taxes on "the rich"--i.e., anyone who makes more money than they do A flat tax, on the other hand, is fair for everybody, all paying the same percentage.

The best 'fair' is paying no taxes, and I wouldn't begrudge anyone who pays none. No, we won't get rid of all taxes for everyone, but it should be a goal to strive for.

The Trump plan if implement would likely be the best implement tax plan in 100 years, or since the beginnings of the federal income tax. This plan is going to help Trump win the presidency.
