The Trump administration is considering a proposal to eliminate federal income taxes for Americans earning less than $150,000 a year, according to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. This plan is part of President Donald Trump’s economic vision, with the goal of no tax for anyone making less than $150,000 annually. More than 76 percent of Americans fall into this income bracket. Specific details of the tax reduction plan have not been released, but Census Bureau data indicates that the median household income in the U.S. is $80,610, while in Rhode Island, it stands at $86,372.
To offset the revenue loss from this tax cut, the Trump administration plans to require other countries to pay tariffs as well. The administration has already implemented tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, China, the EU, and other nations. Despite these economic initiatives, consumer confidence has shown signs of weakening, with the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index dropping significantly in March. This comes as inflation expectations have risen and the economy faces challenges inherited from the previous administration.
