So, we get more lower income voters off the tax roles, and then they see no problem with raising taxes (on others) and not reforming the corruption-laden tax system. The effects of GWB having done the same are seen in the voting coalition that elected Obama.

Trump's plan is lousy. So long as we have a progressive income tax at all, need to cut rates across the board, except possibly at the bottom end, where instituting a nominal tax rate (1% anyone?) should be considered to get people back on the tax rolls, but not to zero for anyone.
