In the interview with CNBC he said that the rate he proposed on the highest bracket may go up from his initial proposal, but still remain a cut relative to current rates.<br /><br />How exactly is that difficult to understand?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308609124601001661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-80787189825703038922016-05-20T11:02:41.971-04:002016-05-20T11:02:41.971-04:00I'm not supporting his tax plan, however it is...I'm not supporting his tax plan, however it is very easy to interpret what he said.<br /><br />He put out a proposed tax plan months ago with tax cuts across the board. His quote here is talking about that proposed plan being negotiable.
