White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt unveiled President Trump’s new tax proposal, promising significant cuts for the middle class and targeting tax advantages for wealthy individuals. Key provisions include eliminating taxes on tips, Social Security benefits, and overtime pay, as well as closing loopholes like the carried interest loophole for hedge fund managers. The plan also aims to extend the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and proposes a corporate tax reduction to 15%. However, the proposal faces opposition from Democrats, concerns over deficit increases, and divisions within the Republican Party. A tough legislative battle is expected as Congress debates the plan’s economic and fiscal implications.
