If the metric for measuring is something that might actually generate wide spread support and actually get done, Trump's plan is a masterpiece.
By offering a zero rate on lower income people, he knocks out a major Demo attack point. On the other hand, the other rates are lower than what we have now and should be good for the rest.
People with that low of income don't actually pay taxes now anyway. They tend to get everything back and more with earned income tax credits, but actually saying that the pay zero will resonate with them better than saying, "Well, we'll give it back to you and more at a later date."
If he is elected, it is hard to imagine that his plan, or something very close to it does not pass Congress.
I agree. The zero rate is rather clever. He's not cutting taxes for folks at 50k and under for a family, he's just rephrasing it.There are a ton of people who will qualify for the zero rate. Probably most folks don't even realize that they aren't paying federal income tax right now.
