What Trump's tax plan means for Trump's taxes

    Throughout the course of Donald Trumps outrageous opinions and statements, he may actually help the United States economy. He says that under his tax plan, he will use his money as a way to give back to the U.S. This will not only benefit the middle class but for those in the upper-income bracket that will help substantially. Trump believes that if he were to help the country then he thinks the economy will do so much better. However, it is not known if he will end up paying more because he has yet to release any of his tax returns and has refused to disclose his effective tax rate. Also some real estate investments are also considering the interest in Trumps tax plan. It's unlikely that he will pay more out of his part because his main issue is to eliminate the estate tax. Overall, this may shed some humanity on Trump as he is running for president because of all the nonsense he has been building up over the past few months and hopefully they will see his tax plan in some good light.

     This affects me politically because seeing Donald Trump actually doing something right, or as what I've read, for the first time. His plan is actually not so bad and can benefit many of the middle class as well as the economy. I think many would disagree with this but Trump has a good point on why he wants to do this for the United States. Also, I think some candidates don't really focus on taxes since there is so many other issues to worry about but taxes are a huge problem in today's economy. I've read that Donald Trump is one of the leading candidates and if for some odd reasons he ends up winning, then I support him on this issue.
