特朗普“史上最大力度”税改被指牺牲中产为富人减税

长期以来，主张减税，尤其是企业税额，一直是特朗普经济计划的一个重要组成部分。今年2月，特朗普在对国会参众两院的讲话上预告了他的提案，他说：“我的经济团队正在酝酿一次历史性的税制改革，此次税改将降低企业纳税率，这样他们就可以在任何地方发展，与任何人竞争了。这次减税的力度是大大的。”

But on the campaign trail he also consistently pledged to cut the US's $19tn deficit "big-league" and "very quickly". A 20-percentage-point cut to corporate tax rates alone would add $2.4tn to the national debt, according to nonpartisan pressure group Americans for Tax Fairness.

但是在竞选期间，他也一直承诺要“大量”、“快速”的削减美国19万亿美元的财政赤字。据无党派压力集团美国税收公平组织称，企业税率削减20个百分点将为美国增加2.4万亿美元的国债。

"So, how would Trump's White House make up the shortfall? By drastic cuts to essential services and lowering the standard of living for regular American families. Unacceptable," said Frank Clemente, executive director.

该机构执行董事弗兰克•克莱门特表示：“所以，特朗普政府要如何弥补这个缺口呢？通过大幅削减基本服务，降低普通美国家庭的生活水平吗？绝对不行。”

The plan faces significant obstacles because of the need for Democratic support, and "reconciliation" rules that place strict limits on any tax cuts that result in increases to the deficit.
