Episode 49 – Trump Tax Plan
Manage episode 308832016 series 3021383
In this episode, I discuss President Trump’s tax plan. As of now, only a one page summary has been released, so many of the details are forthcoming. However, we know that Trump is proposing a 15% corporate income tax rate, versus the existing 35%, and is proposing three personal income tax brackets versus the current seven. I discuss some other features of the proposal as we know them so far. I also briefly discuss the Congress averting a government shutdown and the Bret Stephens New York Times controversy.
