Trump’s top economic aide Gary Cohn says Trump has drawn a red line on Tax Reform:
President Donald Trump has two red lines that he refuses to cross on overhauling taxes: the corporate rate must be cut to 20 percent and the savings must go to the middle class.
Gary Cohn, the president’s top economics aide, says any overhaul signed by the president needs to include these two elements.
Trump had initially pushed for cutting the 39.6 percent corporate tax rate to 15 percent.
The administration says that the benefits of any tax cut will not favor the wealthy, with Cohn saying that an additional tax bracket could be added to levy taxes on the top one percent of earners if needed.
