Donald Trump ignored 14 interruptions from protesters Monday to present "the biggest tax revolution since the Reagan Tax Reform." During his economic policy address in front of the Detroit Economic Club, Trump proposed greatly simplifying the tax code by cutting it down from seven brackets to the House Republicans' proposed three, and suggested an "across-the-board income tax reduction, especially for middle-income Americans."
Of his plan, Trump said, "It will present a night-and-day contrast to the job-killing, tax-raising, poverty-inducing Obama-Clinton agenda," highlighting how Hillary Clinton "short-circuited again" when she "accidentally told the truth and said she wanted to raise taxes on the middle class."
