......The mogul said, “Finally, no family will have to pay the death tax,” while unveiling the significance of holding the event in the Motor City: “The city of Detroit is the living, breathing example of my opponent’s failed economic agenda. She supports the high taxes and radical regulation that forced jobs out of your community.” He called for an end to the estate tax in his address, as well as a 15 percent cap on business income tax for Americans.

just more trump bullshit to rile up his 'angry' followers...


Today, 99.8 percent of estates owe no estate tax at all, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation.[3] Only the estates of the wealthiest 0.2 percent of Americans — roughly 2 out of every 1,000 people who die — owe any estate tax. (See Figure 1.) This is because of the tax’s high exemption amount, which has jumped from $650,000 per person in 2001 to $5.43 million per person in 2015.
