President Trump’s “phase two” tax cut plan, which would make permanent last year’s personal income tax reductions and possibly slash capital gains rates, is more of an election-year strategy to corner Democrats right now than it is an actual proposal.
While the president has promoted the plan twice this week publicly, the White House hasn’t put forward a proposal yet to Congress. White House aides say it’s still in the idea stages as Mr. Trump awaits the arrival of his new chief economic adviser, Larry Kudlow.
“We don’t have specifics of an actual proposal or a timeline just yet,” White House … Read More
