Donald Trump's Tax Reform

I'm sorry I have to keep saying this, but he lives in an alternative reality. And it is sort of amusing to hear somebody who hasn't paid federal income taxes in maybe 20 years talking about what heʼs going to do, but Iʼll tell you what heʼs going to do. His plan will give the wealthy and corporations the biggest tax cuts they have ever had. More than the Bush tax cuts by at least a factor of two. Donald always takes care of Donald and people like Donald. And this would be a massive gift. And indeed the way that he talks about his tax cuts would end up raising taxes on middle class families. Millions of middle class families. Now, here's what I want to do. I have said nobody who makes less than $250,000 a year and that's the vast majority of Americans, as you know will have their taxes raised. Because I think we have got to go where the money is and the money is with people who have taken advantage of every single break in the tax code. And yes, when I was a senator, I did vote to close corporate loopholes. I voted to close, I think, one of the loopholes he took advantage of when he claimed a billion dollar loss that enabled him to avoid paying taxes. I want to have a tax on people who are making a million dollars, it's called the Buffett rule. Yes, Warren Buffett is the one whoʼs gone out and said somebody like him should not be paying a lower tax rate than his secretary. I wanna have a surcharge on incomes above 5

Donald Trump wants to lower taxes which is great, but there are many setbacks to this. If he does lower taxes it will be harder for the government to have

BBC: For the longest, Republicans have said the U.S. tax system is in need of repairing and Trump is the one taking the stand on it. He’s called for significant tax cuts which

Donald Trump has finally released his tax plan. Hallelujah. His plan is filled with what many conservatives and liberals have been eagerly calling for. In part of his plan, he pushes for a flat income tax for all businesses at 15% and a repatriation rate at 10% claiming this will incentive companies to increase their presence in the US. He still relies on a graduated tax rate of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 25%, which is far more attractive to voters then the current rate of 10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, 35%, and 39.6%. This greatly appeals to lower income individuals because the widely held belief is that everyone is taxed and this belief will be to Trump’s advantage. His attacks on Wall Street and their profits and high salaries appeals to many Americans due to lackluster job growth and wage

I am writing this letter to let you know that I am pleased with your hard work and dedication in fully representing California to the best of your ability. You have been diligently representing us for the past 25 years and hopefully more to come. However, the main reason I am writing to you is to advise you to not agree with President Trump’s tax reform plan on giving the wealthy and corporations a significant tax cut. According to the website, assets.donald trump.com, his strategy is to lower the current 7 tax brackets into only 4. They will range from 0%, 10%, 20%, and 25% based on the individual's income and reducing the corporate tax from 35% to 15%. The most outrageous thing about this proposal is that he wants to repeal the death

There are many reforms that the two candidates have said they will do if they are elected president. The most important reform that I think they have talked about is about agriculture and what they will do it for it if they are elected. Trump has a committee that will help us understand and fix things for the communities of rural America. This committee that he has rounded together is going help solve issues of everyday lives of the rural communities. His administration is a pro - agriculture team. He said he will fight for the farmers and the ranchers that have had hardships and for the future hardships. Donald Trump's partner, Mike Pence is a big pro - agriculture for the midwest states. He will be very good at informing Trump on what there

For eight years, former President Barack Obama strived to get a health care for those who could not afford it, and that is when Obamacare was created. Now, our new President Donald Trump is looking to reform health care. In an article written by Lee and Luhby on CNN, they stated, “Within hours of taking the oath of office, President Donald Trump on Friday night signed an executive order aimed at trying to fulfill one of his most impassioned campaign promises: Rolling back Obamacare” (1). President Trump wanted to prevent civilians to use Obamacare which is also known as the Affordable Care Act. President Trump’s intention is to help the people of America to have the right not to pay for an expensive health care insurance. Donald Trump has seven

Donald Trump the republican nominee for president has many different policies he wants to implement if elected. In an article from USA Today, he discussed his policy at a rally in Monessen, Pa talking about how globalization and free trade are job killers. Trumps goes on to say "Globalization has made the financial elite who donate to politicians very, very wealthy ... but it has left millions of our workers with nothing but poverty and heartache."

Rubio’s tax plan is to lower them and even remove some categories (Ollenstein). Marco Rubio’s business tax plan will provide a “25 percent non-refundable tax credit to any business offering between four and twelve weeks of paid family leave” (Lichtenberg). Rubio’s tax plan provides a tax relief for all businesses by “slashing corporate taxes from 35 to 25 percent”(Ollenstein). For family and household taxes Marco Rubio would cut taxes, letting taxpayers keep more of their own money instead of sending it to Washington. Replace the standard deduction with personal tax credit. Eliminate the Marriage Penalty and the Alternative Minimum Tax (Lichtenberg). It provides tax relief to the middle-class parents and families by adding a “partially refundable Child Tax Credit of up to $2,500 per child” (Lichtenberg). His healthcare plan replaces all of the Obamacare with consumer-centered reforms. The plan repeals all 21 Obamacare taxes (Lichtenberg). For college students, Rubio wants rich individuals or hedge funds to pay a student 's tuition and collect their investments back post graduation. “It may result in a profit for the investor or it may not - but unlike with loans, none of the risk lies with the student,” Rubio said (Ollenstein).

With the election of Donald Trump as the President of the United States one of his many campaign promises was to repeal and replace. To repeal the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, and replace this with a GOP Healthcare plan. President Trump made Health Care reform one his biggest bills to be introduced during his presidency. With many of the issues that politicians had with the Affordable Care Act this new Reform promises to cover everyone and will remove many of the provisions that caused the politicians to not back it.

Immigration reforms have recently been the victim of multiple debates regarding the upcoming 2016 Presidential Election. Many politicians have already shared their viewpoints and opinions with the public, however, the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump remains as one of the most prominent figures discussing the issue. Multiple interviews and articles throughout the media have maintained the nation’s focus on Donald Trump’s ideas regarding immigration reforms, and each statement he makes stirs a large amount of controversy, along with resentment or approval. Regardless of the public’s outlook on Donald Trump, his plan for an immigration reform retains little sense and will destroy the economy.

This may sound like a tax plan that will relieve the financial burden on lower-income taxpayers, directly benefiting the poor, but in actuality, cutting taxes for all in a regressive manner gives substantially more money to the wealthiest taxpayers and a very small amount to lower income taxpayers. According to his plan, a typical American family of four will be able to keep at least $1, 600 more of

Donald Trump’s plan focal point is on cutting taxes and how that will result in many benefits towards the economy. “The president-elect has said he can get the economy to grow nearly

His eventual stance of a graduation with the tax would be a good idea. Though we have a progressive tax policy currently in which people are taxed more based on how much they make, this seems to be untrue for the very top of the one percent of wealthy people. After a certain amount of wealth, tax rates seem to go down again which should not be the case given that they have the wealth to pay for them. The other policy that I agree with Trump on are getting large corporations headquarters back in the U.S., though his ideas of giving them tax breaks to bring them back seems counterintuitive. Bringing the headquarters back to the U.S. would increase tax revenue for the government and bring more jobs for U.S. citizens. Trump’s tax on hedge funds as ordinary income would also be a large increase in tax revenue for the government, but as Les Funtleyder, a portfolio manager at E Squared Asset Management, says in the article, “If his positions on raising taxes on their businesses [hedge funds] gain traction, some members of the financial industry will probably form a political action committee…” (Rappeport, “Increase Taxes? Talk by Donald Trump Alarms G.O.P.”). There is still plenty of time for Donald Trump’s tax policy ideas to take hold, and as G.O.P. front-runner, there is a very good chance of it once he adds

Another part of the Trump tax plan that is beneficial to economic growth is the elimination of the estate tax, better known as the death tax. The estate tax, in a nutshell, is a tax on your right to transfer property after death. According to the IRS “It consists of an accounting of everything you own or have certain interests in at the date of death (Refer to Form 706 (PDF)). The fair market value of these items is used, not necessarily what you paid for them or what their values were when you acquired them. The total of all of these items is your "Gross Estate." The includible property may consist of cash and securities, real estate, insurance, trusts, annuities, business interests and other assets.
