Letters: Trump’ tax plan would benefit the rich
Re “When Trump talks big tax cuts, California’s workers should check their wallets” (Editorials, sacbee.com, Oct. 27): According to Tax Policy Center, 50 percent of the changes in tax would benefit people earning more than $730,000 per year. Meanwhile, the national debt would grow $2.6 trillion the next decade, due to decreased revenue. Do Republican voters really want to give 50 percent of the tax cut to the top 1 percent, while increasing our national debt? Who the Republicans in Congress representing? The answer may be that they are not working for us, normal citizens, but rather for billionaire donors and friends at our expense.
