19 days to go: When will Trump release his tax plan?

I said tax plan, not tax return.  I know that he lied when he said he’d release his tax return before the election, and then lied again when asked why he changed his mind.  I’m talking about his tax plan, the one that would raise taxes on millions of working class Americans, while he slashes taxes from billionaire property developers from 40% to 15%.

I recall reading that his advisers said this was an oversight, and that their intention was to cut taxes for everyone (how wonderful!)  They said the tax plan would be revised.  Apparently his advisors are too incompetent to even deliver a tax plan that accords with his stump speeches.  So when will we get the new tax plan?

I’m still waiting . . . 19 days to go.

Don’t Americans have a right to know where a candidate stands on taxes, before going into the voting booth?  How long until we get the official tax plan?

I’ve spent so much time trashing Trump that it’s only fair to give him credit when he does the right thing.  Last night he sharply pivoted on trade, and now favors trade deals, indeed even trade deals that result in freer trade than the Obama deals:

Donald Trump — who has built his campaign around a dramatic rollback of American’s multinational trade deals — said Wednesday that under his administration that there would be “more free trade” than there is under President Barack Obama.

“So my plan – we’re going to negotiate trade deals. We’ll have free trade. More free trade than we have right now,” Trump said during the third presidential debate.

Kudos to Trump for finally seeing the light on trade.

(BTW, I don’t think candidates should have to release their tax returns, but if they promise to do so, they should do so.)
