Donald Trump's Tax Reform

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

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.

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

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

Another benefit Trump believes citizens deserve is their full paycheck. Although taxes are necessary, he believes insuring Americans they receive what they earned will increase and strengthen work ethic. For this reason, he has formulated a system he calls the 1-5-10-15 income tax plan. His goal and purpose is to create clarity and fairness for all, cutting down the complication and disarray of the tax code. Another issue Trump has talked about is education. He believes common core is a disaster and should be immediately abolished. He believes education should be local, and chiseled for the youth of specific areas. Donald Trump’s ideas may come off as blunt and insincere, but he has established his success and many stand behind his judgment.

Right now, His plan would increase the standard deduction to $15,000, up from $6,300 for single filers and to $30,000 for married couples filing jointly, up from $12,600. (Anderson 1).Trump's plan also calls for the repeal of the alternative minimum tax and the estate tax. With the elimination of the AMT (alternative minimum tax), itemized deductions would be worth more, Spiess said. "For many middle-income taxpayers, the new standard deduction may exceed their itemized deductions, thus allowing a higher deduction," said Timothy Speiss, chairman of personal wealth advisors at accounting firm EisnerAmper.Trump's plan also calls for the repeal of the alternative minimum tax and the estate tax. With the elimination of the AMT, itemized deductions would be worth more, Spiess said. There are a couple of reasons Trump's plans for Taxes are not very smart for the economy. The first reason is about 20 percent of households and more than half of single parents would pay more in taxes under Trump's tax plan even with the child-care breaks Raising taxes for the middle-class families is bad because that family probably do not have room to pay more taxes because it is already high enough. The last reason Trump needs to focus on the economy is because not all taxpayers would benefit from Trump's proposals. His plan calls for repealing personal exemptions for taxpayers and

It doesn't mean everyone. For example, Trump would raise the lowest tax bracket to 12% from 10%. he would eliminate the head of household status, which today benefits single parents of dependents more than if they just filed as single. And he would repeal personal exemptions, each worth $4,050 per parent and per dependent and Instead, Trump would greatly increase the standard deduction (to $15,000 for singles and $30,000 for married couples) and include a few new tax breaks for child care. He would retain today's child and dependent care tax credit. According to the article Donald Trump has claimed his tax plan will cut taxes for working- and middle-class Americans. Basically all trump wants to do is tax the people who wealthy and make them pay higher

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."

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

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

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).

Taxes. Trump 's plan to come up with an improvement to our taxing system will move all citizens into three different tax brackets. As of right now we currently have seven. The top bracket for citizens claiming married joint filers having an income more than $225,000 a year would pay 33% (Bryan). The $75,000-to-$225,000 yearly income bracket would pay 25% (Bryan). The under-$75,000 bracket would pay 12% (Bryan). American People who make under $75,000 a year will be taxed at a 15% rate (Bryan). Lastly the top bracket made from those making $466,950 — pays 39.6% (Bryan). One of Trump’s proposals would cut the current corporate tax rate to 15% The tax for corporate companies sits at 39%, but majority companies pay much less in their tax rate. The average tax rate for S&P 500 companies is 29%, according to research by Goldman Sachs (Bryan). Trump’s whole philosophy over the tax system is to lower it and stimulate the economy in a more fashionable way.

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.
