The article, “Hillary Clinton Twists the Knife in Donald Trump’s Tax Proposals”, was written by Amy Chozick and published on Augest 17th, 2016. It was posted on The New York Times. Hillary Clinton propose to overturn Trump’s idea on tax proposal of pass-through exemption.
Trump’s most recent proposal on tax is to cut taxes and give breaks to small businesses and large corporations. His idea allows businesses not to pay income taxes, but the owners are taxed at individual rates on their profits.
Hillary Clinton proposes oppositely. The core of her proposal is not to give any break for small businesses and large corporations on taxes, and she thinks the companies like the families of Trump’s don’t need breaks. According to her plans, all these

The more visual affect she provides is that by not eliminate the estate tax, Trump’s family would be paying $4 billion tax which could be used to fund 890000 4-year-olds for school and provide 360000 veterans for one year of health care.
Such a proposal does appear to benefit US citizens and societies from the numbers she provides, but further research states otherwise in some ways. According to the “Tax Foundation’s Taxes and Growth Model,” her plan would actually reduce the economy’s size by 1% in the long run, and it would lower the wages by 0.8% which leads to 311000 fewer full-time equivalent job opportunities.
I think overall her proposal has more benefits in long run in many aspects. You can’t make a proposal that satisfy everyone, the goal tends to be satisfying the needs of the majorities. In the article, it says “Almost two-thirds, 64 percent, of Americans said they were bothered a lot by the feeling that some corporations are not paying what is fair in federal taxes,” so the proposal satisfy the majorities as a starter. Also, an even more convincing fact is that even though Trump tries
Trump is talking about how Hillary's voting record matches republicans by close to 90% in foreign policy, and republicans hate her for being like them. Where Hillary Clinton is different lies with taxes since she will destroy the country by cutting taxes for the middle class and raising taxes on incomes higher than $250,000.00 a year, so there are funds to pay for roads and bridges, military and even money for a start up business that needs a helping hand like Trump's dad received - how else could Trumps dad have been able to make Donald a self made elite? And why should the top 1%, that own more than the bottom 99%, pay more than 12% of the taxes it takes for our country to supply the money we need to have police, fireman, courts and judges, military and corporate
As most people should KNOW that if you focus on getting more money from the rich, you’re losing jobs. Because, in order for there to be jobs you’re going to need money, and if you keep taking larger amounts from these successful companies; the amount of income the worker gets is reduced or they get fired because there just isn’t enough money to keep them working. Hillary Clinton thinks the American people should be taxed more in order for her “plan” to work. Taxes is what her plan consists on, so obviously she wants to raise taxes but as is the average American pays over $10,000-$20,000 in
Fox News: Other than the fact that the new tax plan is biased, the amount of changes specified alone generate a significant number of opposers.The GOP tend to make it seem like their tax package will be change that’s beneficial for every American, however, they always make decisions that contradict their opposing side (Democrats). Fox discusses how the Republicans avoid mentioning the costs of creating new tax reforms similar to how they promised to make insurance coverage the same as Obamacare now. In all honesty, after this article referred to Obamacare, the rest of the “information” seems like fluff. I attempted at reading the paragraphs that were oddly formed, but in my eyes they had no correlation to the tax reform/ Obamacare. I recall one piece that discussed how Trump didn’t remember a meeting he had with his former foreign policy advisor that was from his campaign, and as I read I thought to myself, “How does this relate to the tax cuts?”
On taxes, Hillary believes the wealthy pay too little in taxes and the middle class pays too much. She would plan to offer tax relief to working
The debates on tax cuts are making their way to headlines of every radio station, newspaper, and television station in America. Today, tax cuts would only benefit the wealthy and wouldn’t really benefit the lower class. “The administration and it’s congressional alleys are proposing to sharply reduce taxation of the business income primarily benefiting
With the presidential elections coming up, different tax policies are being debated between the candidates. Whether it is proposed by a Democratic or a Republican presidential candidate, there have been many possible solutions presented on how to reform the current tax code. Focusing specifically on four candidates, two from the Democratic Party, and two from the Republican Party, I will compare and contrast their respective tax proposals. While the Democratic candidates generally agree with President Obama’s current tax code, all four candidates are looking to reform it in some way in order to, in their own eyes, better the current tax code affecting today’s citizens.
Taxation, government expenditures, management of the national debt, and tax expenditures (tax breaks) were all expounded by Trump in Dave Shiflett’s (2000) book, Trump: The America we Deserve.” Trump is quoted:
This week the reading by Frank in the Inequality Reader caught my attention. It talked about how the current tax system in the US is not conducive to helping society. It also mentions how an increase in taxes for the top earners would help not only the poor but also the rich. He also includes how the wealthy “have been made worse off, on balance, by recent tax cuts” (Frank 732). This reading made me think of the current GOP tax plan being signed and debated in congress.
Donald Trump’s policies on taxes are geared towards helping the economy recovering and the establishment of more jobs. Trump wishes to cut down the income so it no longer negatively effects the middle
Beginning with the Democrats, Hillary Clinton’s tax policy is “Relief for the Middle Class and an Environment for Long Term Growth.” Per the article, her reforms include unspecified cuts for the middle class and small businesses that share profits with employees. She also aims to raise taxes on medium-term capital gains, which is a new category that would increase the capital gains rate for high-income taxpayers, on investments held from one to six years, from a flat 20 percent to a range of 24 to 36 percent. As a result, higher taxes would be imposed on the wealthy and would discourage those who short-term buy and sell assets (Witte, 2016).
Clinton, on the other hand, wants to raise taxes on the wealthy and lower taxes on companies that hire more people. She would keep the taxes the same, but add an additional bracket for the highest earners. Clinton has proposed altering the medium-term and long-term capital gain tax benefits for people with at least 5 million dollars in earned income. Investors wouldn 't see any reduction in long-term capital gains taxes until they hold their investment for at least two years, and they wouldn 't see the current 20% rate unless they were to hold investments for six or more years. She is also taking aim at estate tax reform and social security payroll tax. Clinton 's plan would add 1.1 trillion in revenue over the next 10 years (Sahadi)
On CNN news, Democratic senator Bernie Sanders and Republican senator Ted Cruz debated about the GOP tax plan debate. The GOP tax plan proposed to lower corporate tax rates and decrease federal income tax brackets. Senator Cruz argued that by lowering corporate tax rates, there will be more jobs and revenue because of the trickle down effect. Senator Sanders argues that this tax plan will only benefit one-tenth of the one percent.
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
She claims that raising taxes on the wealthy is counterproductive; the wealthy create jobs and should be encouraged to expand. However, as income has progressively grown higher for the wealthy in the United States over the last forty years, the super wealthy, that have the power to create jobs within the economy, trend on supplying low income jobs versus middle income jobs. Looking at the seven bracket income tax rates of 2017, jobs earning $91,000 to $191,650 would be considered medium income, but according to the 2016 US Census, the average medium income is $59,000. As far as the wealthy literally creating jobs, Stephen King states that he has a total payroll of about 60 people, mostly working for his two radio stations he owns in Maine (Daily Beast). The July 2011 Reason Foundation study, “Unmasking the Mortgage Interest Deduction,” found the annual average tax saving of the mortgage deduction for a taxpayer making $50,000 to $75,000 was $179, and only about one-third in this group claim the deduction. At the upper income level, however, homeowners with incomes exceeding $200,000 get an annual tax benefit of more than $2,200, and almost three-quarters claim the deduction. On top of this, the wealthy claim deductions on their million dollar second homes in Colorado and their yachts parked in the marina’s along Long Island. I do believe Borowski is correct that it would be anti capitalistic to
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
