Trump on Tax Plan: ‘This Is My Wheelhouse; That’s What I Do Well’

“We’re going to hand them out right now to the press and I think you will see we have an amazing code. It would be simple, it will be easy, it will be fair. It’s graduated as you get up in income, you pay a little more. Some of the very unfair deductions that certain people have been given who make a lot of money will not [be] available any longer, but I actually believe they’ll do better because I think the economy will grow. It will grow rapidly and will have something very special. Now, with all of that being said and before we take some questions, we have to cut the costs of what's going on in this country. If you look at what we are doing and the money we are spending, I read where a Washer, you know and Washer is Nuts, Bolts and Washers. To send from one state to another, it was a 19-cent washer and it cost $900 some odd dollars to send it from here to there. There are many examples, hammers that cost $800 that you can buy in a store for a tiny amount of money. We will run this country properly. There is so much money to be saved. We are reducing taxes but at the same time if I win, if I become president, we will be able to cut so much money and have a better country. We won't be losing anything other than we will be balancing budgets and getting them where they should be. So, this is the plan that’s simple, that's a major reduction. I think people are going to be very happy. We've already had some very good reviews. I did the plan with some of the leading scholars and economists and tax experts that there are in this country. They love it. They say, why hasn't this been done before? And this is my wheelhouse, that's what I do well. The economy is what I do well. Whenever they do polls I always come out way above everybody else on the economy. And on leadership by the way, but I won't say that.”
