If Trump taxes the rich & gives a break to everyone else, what will DEMS cry about?
President Donald Trump said that the middle class is the focus of his tax reform plan, even if taxes on the wealthy need to increase.
Trump also promised that the individual tax rate would be lower.
"Lower for individuals," he said. "Much lower than [15 percent] for individuals."
"And the rich will not be gaining at all with this plan," Trump added. "We're looking for the middle class and we're looking for jobs, jobs meaning companies. So we're looking at, for the middle class, and we're looking at jobs."
He projected that income taxes on the wealthy would be increased if necessary. "If they have to go higher, they'll go higher. We're looking at the middle class, and we're looking at jobs."
Trump spoke at a press conference following a bipartisan meeting on tax reform. That meeting featured the president, advisers, and senators from both sides of the aisle. DEMOCRATS present included Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), and Joe Donnelly, (Ind.), all of whom are up for reelection in 2018 - in states Trump won.
At Wednesday's press conference, Trump, flanked by congressional DEMOCRATS, said that he intends to give bipartisanship a shot with his tax reform goals.
"If it works out, great, and if it doesn't work out, Republicans will be able to do it anyway," he said.
