Trump promises to lower the tax rate to 15%. VIDEO

President Donald Trump delivered his latest weekly address to the country, promising to cut taxes, bring jobs back to the United States and create a “better” health care system, writes “Voice of America«.

“From day one, my administration has worked tirelessly to remove barriers to job creation and improve the conditions for economic growth,” he said. “We are getting rid of one worker-killing regulation after another, they are not pleasing to the eye and must be eliminated.”

The head of the White House recalled that this week the Republicans in the House of Representatives with a very small margin managed to vote for the abolition of health care reform, developed by the previous administration and known as Obamacare.

«Obamacare is collapsing everywhere you look,” Donald Trump supported this initiative. “The new House bill will save Americans from this disaster, give them more choice, and give greater freedom to American families.”

The US president emphasized that the new plan would create an “excellent health care system,” and the Americans would get “better medical care at a lower price.”

Implementation of this plan will be possible if the proposed reform is approved by the US Senate. Donald Trump called on the Upper House of Congress to “take action,” “cancel and replace Obamacare»Republican plan.

Tax reform should be another step to improve the economy. As explained by the head of the White House, his "team of economists" has already developed a program of "significant tax cuts in order to return jobs and prosperity in the United States."

“We pay the highest taxes in the world. No country pays more. We will reduce them, significantly reduce them,” Donald Trump promised.

According to the president, the new benefits will “mainly affect the middle class,” as well as small and medium-sized businesses.

“Currently, American companies are subject to the highest taxes of any developed country. This is the harm we cause to our own economy by sending jobs to other countries. Believe me, before I took this position, jobs were rapidly leaving the country, but we put an end to it,” Donald Trump said.

He said that he was going to “reduce the income tax rate to 15%”, as well as simplify the requirements of the tax code in order to save people from the costs of “a whole army of lawyers, lobbyists and accountants” necessary to correctly fill out tax returns .

Donald Trump found it necessary to note that all the planned steps "will be the beginning of a new era of prosperity in America."

“All of this... will bring wealth, hope and opportunity to communities that need it most,” the US president said.
