Under Trump, nearly half of Americans would pay no income taxes

The Republican presidential candidate said nearly 50% of Americans would pay no income taxes under the tax proposal he unveiled Monday.
He would create a new 0% tax rate and expand the income bracket that falls into it to $25,000 for singles and $50,000 for married couples.
Trump's proposal says it eliminates tax liability for more than 73 million households and takes nearly 50% of current filers off the income tax rolls entirely.

"If you are single and earn less than $25,000, or married and jointly earn less than $50,000, you will not owe any income tax," Trump's proposal states. "That removes nearly 75 million households -- over 50% -- from the income tax rolls."

[WOOO]

.... How's he going to keep the gov't afloat? Has someone taken 10 minutes to use 4 letter words to explain that bankruptcy is not a fiscal strategy in public life?

Trump's own words were "over 50%". 

We're currently at 45%.

So no, it's not bullshit.  Sorry.   50 > 45.

I imagine with all the refundable tax credits, 50% are already paying nothing but getting some money (redistribution of wealth)

Hahahahaha, thinking 5% actually makes you more delutional. If you want to split hairs that much we could always say that number could go either way.

No.  Currently 45%.  Trump promised 50%.  We're talking about 300 million people.  So a rise of 5% doesn't just "go either way" on a macro level.  The fact that you went out of your way to point out the 45% number with your own link - and suddenly the numbers dont matter once you see they don't support your narrative - that's right out of saul alinsky.

Not going to argue with anymore. Figure it out.
