Peter Alexander to Mnuchin: Why Isn’t Trump Hiking Taxes on the Wealthy?

ALEXANDER: "Exactly a year ago, then candidate Trump was asked if he believes in raising taxes on the wealthy. He said, 'I do, including myself, I do.' My question is why isn’t he doing that? And will the President end up paying more or less taxes as a result of this plan?"
MNUCHIN: "I cannot comment on the President’s tax situation since I don't have access to that. But I would comment that our objective, okay, is the reduction in taxes, will be offset by significant reduction of deductions and other items so that the effective tax rate is what we are focused on."
