we've been broke for decades. thats just not true. he wants to give the extremely rich a tax rate of 25% compared to the already low one it is now. dropping taxes keeps the government from collecting revenue. how is that supposed to make us less broke?
Takes about 5 seconds on Google.
Really, keep the current historically low tax rates but don't drop them any lower.
