I may be wrong, but I didn’t take Trump’s comment in the SOTU as an omen.
He may very well have been referencing his desire to make such an option ATTRACTIVE to employers, not a MANDATE.
There is a difference between INCENTIVES and REQUIREMENTS.
I am betting Trump would go for the former—it allows for creative applications and freedom for the entrepreneur.
We’ve been using ‘incentives’ and other tax policies for years for social engineering. No thanks.
