Today's Trump Talking Point: There Is No Trump Economic Plan
There Is No Trump Economic Plan
- What we now have that purports to be the plan is the third version of Trump's Tax and Economic Plan...
- Great confusion about what is in the plan, what it isn't, what it means--and what will be in his plan in one month, or two, or three...
- What we know:
- Trump doubled down on a plan of tax breaks for himself and the top 0.1%
- Not the usual Republican trickle-down
- Highly erratic
- Revised during the day on September 15 multiple times
- Example of what we don't know:
- A 15% top rate for all business income?
- We can't tell...
- Maybe it only applies to corporate income...
- Maybe it applies to the enormous pass-through income loophole as well...
- Some of Trump's surrogates say it only applies to corporate income...
- NFIB says Trump has told them that it applies to all income...
