http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-tax-plan_56087613e4b0af3706dcb3c3?utm_hp_ref=entertainment&ir=Entertainment§ion=entertainmentPressed about the specific numbers during an interview on CBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday, Trump said: "I will say this, there will be a large segment of our country that will have a zero rate, a zero rate. And that's something I haven't told anybody."
Trump added he was talking about "people in the low-income brackets that are supposed to be paying taxes, many of them don't anyway."
Saying the middle class was "being absolutely decimated," Trump promised middle-income earners would get a substantial tax cut under his plan. He added his corporate tax reduction would be "a great incentive" for companies.
Asked on whom he would increase taxes, Trump, a billionaire real estate mogul, said: "Some very wealthy are going to be raised. Some people that are getting unfair deductions are going to be raised."
-------------------------------------
- tax-cuts for lower-class
- tax-cuts for middle-class
- tax-cuts for corporations
- tax-increases for "some" very wealthy people
Now, he's not giving you any numbers from his fantastic tax-plan... Except that you won't have to pay taxes if you vote for him.

OP
The middle class isn't being decimated by taxes. It's being decimated by loss of jobs

(14,733 posts)1. The middle class isn't being decimated by taxes. It's being decimated by loss of jobs
and crappy salaries, just like the working class. Actually pay your employees enough, and they won't have problems paying taxes.

similar. (as per CNN this morning though they insist calling it a tax increase for millionaires).

don't really pay high taxes in this country.
And as for jobs, ask Carly what they do with tax break money. Not jobs, stock buy backs that enrich the execs.
