Trump claims Hillary will raise income tax rates 'to 55 or 60 per cent' as he kicks off new battle for middle-class voters and vows that 'she's not winning Pennsylvania'

The Daily Mail reports:
Donald Trump said Saturday that Hillary Clinton will raise Americans' income tax rates dramatically, to rates as high as 60 per cent.

While he didn't provide evidence for the claim, it represents a new salvo in the war over middle-class voters – particularly those Democrats who shied away from Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders because of fears his tax policy would take too big a bite from their bottom lines.

'We're going to give you a massive tax decrease, and get this country back to work, for business and for middle-income,' Trump said Saturday afternoon in a hangar at Pittsburgh International Airport.

'Hillary Clinton is going to raise your taxes substantially – possibly to 55 or 60 per cent. That is going to be the end. She's gonna raise your taxes!'


Would Hillary raise taxes by executive order?
