I hear a lot of whining about "no specifics" from Trump.

People obviously just listen to the media.

Here are specifics.

[Lopeover]

I would love this! Thanks!

[metmom]

That works for me.

That alone should win him the election.

I hope maybe it can sway some people I know.

ENDS the DEATH TAX, too!

I see nothing on the Capital Gains Tax.

Obama had raised from I believe 14% to 25%. ?

Eliminating portions of this tax is what injects capital into the economy IMHO

[i_robot73]

WRONG, wrong, wrong. Course, the question that is *never* answered: At what % of income tax does ‘slavery’ exist? What % of MY life\property is owned by the govt\another??

NO person should ‘win’ over another (IE: Pay ZERO) when, in fact, it’s the lower economic bracket(s) that utilize the most of govt ‘services’.

Simplify by ELIMINATING. Follow the Constitutional constraints and make the State/territories pay their % share.

I’ve been admiring the rest of his plans. This is the one completely off base, IMO.

[T. P. Pole]

I am not fond of the idea of having even more folks pay zero. And to call them winners? I think every person needs to have skin in the game, even if it is under 1% of your income. 100% should pay something.

Otherwise, I like the other ideas. Lower corp taxes, repatriation holiday, good changes those are.

[UnwashedPeasant]

Terrible tax plan, except for the corporate part.

He increases the percentage of people with no skin in the game. Now 50% of the public are completely in the wagon that the rest of us push.

It is still a Karl Marx-designed progressive tax, topping at a huge 20% that punishes the most productive workers.

It keeps the corrupt IRS as-is and tinkers with the rate tiers.

He has the opportunity to think big with something like the Fair Tax. Instead, it is Status Quo!

An across the board 20% import tariff balance the budget tomorrow. It promotes domestic manufacturing also. Win-win. It is the best consumption tax of all.

[spintreebob]

No minimum wage increase.

Working poor should not pay Fed taxes. No FICA, no Social Security, No Medicare. The employer’s share should go to the working poor.

Working poor wages are better than $15/hr with no negative impact on employers or consumer prices. Win-Win.

NO EITC! Half of EITC goes to working poor who now don’t need it. Half of EITC is fraud which can only be solved by killing the program.

Cut SSI disability eligibility. Too many people are getting on SSI because they are allergic to work.
Cut who can get Food Stamp eligibility, Medicaid eligibility.

Tax cuts do stimulate the economy. This is the way to do it.

[plain talk]

This plan simplifies the tax code by taking nearly 50% of current filers off the income tax rolls entirely

Not a good idea. More people should be in the tax system and have skin in the game ... not less.

[hawaiianninja]

Way better than what we got now. I’ll take it as a good start and a good springboard for his re-election! :)

[indthkr]

Trump tax reform bump for later....

There is a MUCH Easier to FIX the IRS Tax Code:

Executive Order:

Any Licensed Attorney or Certified Public Accountant that assists ANY Public Servant with their Personal Income Taxes in ANY WAY,
Shall be Subject to IMMEDIATE and PERMANENT REVOCATION of Any and All Occupational Licenses.
This Order shall be enforced by the Internal Revenue Service and ALL Tax Returns for All Public Servants shall be AUDITED ANNUALLY, and Shall have Top Priority over all other cases.

Watch Congress fix the Tax Code overnight
