Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will deliver a speech from the Economic Club of New York providing more clarity on his economic policies. Getting America working again thanks to tax cuts (and major debt) is the key message and we note that Trump is also expected to take questions following his remarks.

Trump’s economic plan includes a variety of tax cuts, such as a reduction of the top corporate income tax from 35 percent to 15 percent. He also wants to cut the top tax rate for individuals from 39.6 percent to 33 percent. Under Trump’s plan, income tax brackets would be reduced from seven to three, according to the campaign’s website.
The new tax rates would be 33 percent, 25 percent and 12 percent. The top tax bracket starts at $200,000 a year for individuals and $400,000 a year for married couples.

In contrast, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has proposed increasing taxes on the rich, including a 4 percent surcharge on incomes higher than $4 million per year. She has also proposed raising the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $12 an hour.
