I agree that big changes need to be made. I think what Trump proposed is pretty safe, without offending any special interests specifically. I don't think it was meant to be a total budget plan, just a taste of what he wants to do. Basically a pro-growth, pro-business tax policy that most people can relate to.
Cutting corporate taxes is a no brainer. Most of these taxes end up being passed on to the consumer through higher prices. The US should be a place where corporations want to be. Allowing repatriation of assets held offshore is another idea that is long overdue.
There isn't much new that I see on the personal side, fewer brackets are probably ok. Eliminating federal estate tax won't be that big of deal for most folks, however it will benefit trump greatly, but for the vast majority of couples, $10.8 mill is a lot more than they will ever have.
