“I want to know what the numbers are going to be,” Trump said, throwing out numbers again. “I think they ought to be 10, 20 and 25.” He dismissed any effort to crunch the numbers. A small change in rates could have a surprising impact on taxes collected by the U.S. Treasury. “I don’t care about any of that,” Trump said. Solid, round numbers were key. “That’s what people can understand,” he said. “That’s how I’m going to sell it.”
Trump is half-right actually, easy to understand numbers would help people to grasp their tax rates better. That being said, these rates DEFINITELY have to be analyzed thoroughly and have to make sense. Policy cannot be purely superficial and pretty to look at.
