It will be simpler and lower, Trump said, when he’s president. To revive growth tax rate must be lowered and the government need to reduce regulatory burden.

There have also been a few other excuses Trump and his supporters have used, as chronicled by the Washington Post: that there’s nothing to learn from the returns, that his tax rate is “none of your business”, that he doesn’t think “anybody cares”.
“Everything that is broken today can be fixed, and every failure can be turned into a great success”, Trump said.
He pledged this week that his proposals would boost the US economy’s growth to a rate of four percent a year, a goal that last was achieved in the 1990s under former President Bill Clinton.
Our view? On taxes and spending, the difference between Trump and Clinton is crystal clear: One wants to provide broad-based relief, the other doesn’t.
Trump said his plan would “unleash” the USA economy and the resulting vast economic growth would, over the course of a decade, eliminate the national debt if also combined with a 1 percent cut in non-defense discretionary spending.
However, David Crane, senior operating officer for Pegasus Capital Advisors and former NRG Energy CEO, said Trump’s plan “doesn’t make sense”.
The US economy last achieved 4% growth during the administration of Democratic President Bill Clinton in the 1990s.
The Republican candidate for U.S. president has vowed to increase economic growth, cut taxes, shrink the federal government and increase spending. The celebrity businessman said that “excessive regulation” costs Americans almost $2 trillion a year.
He said his plan would not add to the federal deficit.
That’s just shy of half what Trump’s tax plan was previously estimated to cost the nation, before he modified it over the summer and later said he would allow parents to fully deduct their childcare expenses.
“It doesn’t square”, Dr Cass said.
Neither candidate has proposed cuts to costly “entitlement programmes” such as the public pension and healthcare plans known as Medicaid and Medicare.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump predicted on Thursday that the Federal Reserve will keep U.S. interest rates low throughout the rest of this year, perhaps even without an increase at all. “But the plan appears to rely on rosy assumptions and murky policy changes”, she said in a statement.

But when pressed to explain and quantify the impressive results he predicted, Trump struggled to offer more details. Oxford Economics argues Trump’s plan will cost the US $1 trillion over the next five years, foreseeing his plan to tack tariffs on other countries’ goods as harmful to American buyers.
