Trump pitches for tax reform to boost economy
United States President Donald Trump has said that his tax reform plan would help the middle-class families and bolster the American economy.
“We will restore our competitive edge and get higher wages for American workers,” the local media quoted Trump, as saying.
He added that tax reform would give the average household a USD-4,000 raise.
Trump also attacked the Democrats by calling them ‘obstructionists,’ who want to raise taxes.
“We will bring back our jobs, we will bring back our wealth and we will bring back our great American dreams,” Trump said.
Trump had earlier released a tax plan that proposes to cut income tax rates, slash taxes for businesses and on overseas corporate profits returned to the country.
