GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s tax plan would increase taxes on those in higher income brackets while reducing the levies on middle-class and poor taxpayers, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
It will offer a “major tax reduction for almost all citizens” in the hopes of stimulating business in the U.S., according to the Journal.
It added that Trump is also pushing for those in the lowest income bracket to get an exemption from paying federal taxes.
Trump’s tax policy outline also focuses on corporate interests.
The reported that Trump’s plan includes a tax hike on companies that skirt U.S. tax codes by placing their headquarters overseas.
Trump defended his ideas on tax policy in an interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes” Sunday evening.
“Some very wealthy are going to be raised,” he said of tax increases. “Some people that are getting unfair deductions are going to be raised.”
“But overall it’s going to be a tremendous incentive to grow the economy and we’re going to take in the same or more money,” Trump told host Scott Pelley.
Trump outlined his immigration and gun ownership stances earlier in the campaign.
The Wall Street Journal also reported on Monday that the outspoken billionaire is hosting 45 religious leaders, including African-American pastors, for a private meeting in New York City Monday afternoon.
Their meeting with Trump continues the real estate mogul’s push for evangelical and minority voters heading into the 2016 presidential election cycle.

The middle class needs all the help it can get since Obama has almost wiped out the middle class.

GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina was not hurt when a stage curtain structure collapsed around her during an appearance on Sunday in San Antonio, Texas, according to multiple reports.
“And the stage just collapse on @CarlyFiorina in San Antonio,” Texas Tribune reporter Patrick Svitek tweeted during the event alongside a video recording of the accident.
Svitek said the former Hewlett-Packard CEO addressed climate change, business practices and the role of women in society.
Mashable also noted on Monday that Fiorina joked about the stage collapse later on during her speech at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter.
“’Trump!’ someone yells out after the curtains fall,” Svitek tweeted. “’Trump, Hillary – it could have been lots of people,’ Carly Fiorina replies.’”
A Fiorina campaign vehicle hit a deer in Iowa earlier this summer, but no one was injured.

Ben Carson on Sunday joined the chorus of Republican presidential candidates who are cheering Speaker John Boehner’s resignation, saying in a Sunday interview that it was time for the Ohio Republican to “move on.”
“There’s a lot of unrest and people who really feel that a lot of people have been sent to Congress over the last few elections but nothing really has changed and they want to see some results,” Carson added.
Boehner announced on Friday he would resign in October after a five-year tenure as Speaker that often found him at odds with the right flank of his caucus.
The Republican base thrilled to the news of his resignation on Friday, with the crowd at the Values Voters Summit in Washington exploding into cheers when Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) informed them of the news during his address.
Later, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who has been among the biggest critics of Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), basked in the news at the summit for social conservatives.
“You want to know how much each of you terrify Washington? Yesterday, John Boehner was Speaker of the House,” Cruz said. “Y’all come to town, and somehow that changes. My only request is, can you come more often?”
GOP front-runner Donald Trump responded to the news by questioning whether Boehner was a true conservative and saying he never fought hard enough for conservative principles.
On Sunday, Carson urged the party to appoint a new leader who will have “the right type of communication with the members.”
“[Boehner] may have served very well for that time, but this is a different time, and it’s time probably to move on,” Carson said.

Martin O’Malley said Sunday that “legitimate questions” remain about fellow 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email account and server from her time as secretary of State, and warned that the issue threatens to define the Democratic Party.
O’Malley has been fighting for the party to expand the debate schedule beyond the six that are currently on the docket.
He argued Sunday that more debates are necessary, particularly in light of Clinton’s email controversy, because the issue threatens to swallow the race for the Democratic nomination.
“It’s so important that as Democrats we start having debates about other issues as well,” O’Malley said. “I’m not saying there aren’t legitimate questions to be answered here by Secretary Clinton, but for our part as a party, we need to talk about the things that will actually get wages to go up rather than down, that people care about around their kitchen tables…that’s why we need to have debates.”
“Otherwise, our party is being defined by Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, and it’s not good for our country,” he added.
O’Malley on Sunday was also critical of Clinton for only recently announcing her opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline.
The former Maryland governor noted that he came out against the project last year, and alleged Clinton’s opposition was made out of political expediency and based on public opinion polls and focus groups.
“I came out against the Keystone pipeline over a year ago. Why? Because I believe it’s contrary to our nation’s best interests of moving forward to a clean energy future,” O’Malley said.
“That’s what real leadership is about,” he continued. “That’s the sort of new leadership we’re looking for. Not the sort of leadership that waits for poll numbers or focus groups or puts a finger in the air to see which way public opinion is going. No, that’s not leadership.”

“It’s all about business. It’s all about jobs.”
The Wall Street Journal reported:
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump unveiled an ambitious tax plan Monday that he says would eliminate income taxes for millions of households, lower the tax rate on all businesses to 15% and change tax treatment of companies’ overseas earnings.
Under the Trump plan, no federal income tax would be levied against individuals earning less than $25,000 and married couples earning less than $50,000. The Trump campaign estimates that would reduce taxes to zero for 31 million households that currently pay at least some income tax. The highest individual income-tax rate would be 25%, compared with the current 39.6% rate.
Many middle-income households would have a lower tax rate under Mr. Trump’s proposal, but because high-income households generally pay income tax at much higher rates, his proposed across-the-board rate cut could have a positive impact on them, too. For example, an analysis of Jeb Bush’s plan—taxing individuals’ incomes at no more than 28%—by the business-backed Tax Foundation found that the biggest percentage winners in after-tax income would be the top 1% of earners.
Mr. Trump’s plan appears designed to help him, as the GOP front-runner, cement his standing as a populist—though that message is complicated by the fact that the billionaire, like other Republican leaders, would eliminate the estate tax.
The GOP front-runner has for weeks been talking up a plan that would also target Wall Street.
