The White House on Wednesday unveiled points in a dramatic tax proposal that leans heavily on tax cuts, but leaves many questions unanswered.
So far, President Trump wants to slash individual tax rates[1] -- cutting the top rate from 39.6% to 35% -- and reduce the number of totalÿrates from seven to three. He also wants to cut the top tax rate for all businesses to 15%, far below the current top rates.
