Donald Trump's proposal to reduce the U.S. corporate tax rate from 21% to 15% would make the bottom half of the nation's income distribution poorer while boosting the fortunes of those at the very top.

If implemented, the economists found, Trump 's plan would "modestly reduce" GDP, decrease government revenue, and "significantly increase inequality" Kamala Harris' plan would increase the share of income earned by the bottom 50% of the distribution by about 1.7% , compared to current policy.
