Is this true: Trump to tax the poor [View all]

Actress Holland Taylor, from the TV show "Two and a Half Men", was on ABC's 'The View' this morning and said Donald Trump wants to change the tax laws so anyone making over $10,000 a year will have to pay income taxes.

$10,000 a year comes out to $833.33 a month.

Meanwhile Trump plans to give corporations and the filthy rich HUGE tax breaks.
