Lauren suggested language. Removes Paul Ryan (which we should probably keep) and streamlines tax cut description. Thoughts?

“Look past the spin and political double-speak and it’s easy to see that Donald Trump’s tax plan is cut from the same cloth as the Republican tax plans that came before it – just more reckless. Once again, Donald Trump is vowing to slash taxes for the very wealthy like himself, to the tune of more than $1 million for those at the very top. It’s clear that when Trump wins, hard-working families inevitably lose.”

SL: Trump’s Tax Plan Remains Reckless and Dangerous

Today it was reported<http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/donald-trump-taxes-tax-reform-223041> that Donald Trump was taking suggestions from right-wing conservative commentators on how to alter his tax plan. DNC National Press Secretary Mark Paustenbach issued the following statement:

“Look past the spin and political double-speak and it’s easy to see that Donald Trump’s tax plan is the same failed idea peddled by Paul Ryan and Republicans in Congress – just more reckless. Trump’s plan rewards those at the top by slashing the top income tax rate, which would give the top 0.1% of income earners like himself an average tax cut of more than $1 million. It’s clear that when Trump wins, hard-working families inevitably lose.”
