Find the most extreme view in the marketplace, and double it.

Republicans since 2012: the corporate tax rate should be lowered to 25%.

Trump in 2015: not good enough.  20%.

You consider building a fence or cutting corporate taxes extreme views? The Dems signed off on the fence in 2006. Corporate taxes should be zero (which was part of the Fair Tax proposal).

Dems in the Senate did sign off on a fence in 2006, but by 2015 we found out they didn't intend to follow through with all the money that would need.
Before Trump entered the arena, the positions were, "finish the fence as promised" vs. "forget about the fence, what we have is good enough"

The Fair Tax was a tax reform intended to be revenue neutral.  There was math behind it.  Eliminate this tax, but make this other new tax, same revenue.
Trump did not propose any new or increased taxes to make up for the lowered corporate rate.
