Jeb Bush Touts Tax Plan While Challenging Donald Trump




Jeb Bush challenged Donald Trump to propose a tax plan of his own during a campaign stop in New Hampshire Thursday, where the former governor continued to tout the tax overhaul he unveiled earlier in the week.

"He has to propose things and he has to be serious about it," Bush said of the Republican frontrunner. "If he wants to be a serious candidate, he has to act like a serious candidate."

Bush has been aggressively selling his tax proposal this week, starting with a stop in South Carolina and continuing with cable TV interviews.

His plan calls for reductions in both the individual and corporate tax rate and would eliminate the estate tax, among other code simplifications. On Thursday, the independent Tax Foundation said Bush's plan would reduce federal revenue by $3.66 trillion over 10 years and disproportionately benefit top income earners.
