In Defying the Odds, we discuss the tax issue in the 2016 campaign. Trump railed against special interests and claimed to be the champion of ordinary Americans.

In 2014, the latest year for which data are available, to the Tax Foundation finds that the top 25 percent of filers paid 87 percent of federal income tax, and the top ten percent paid 71 percent. The top 1 percent of taxpayers paid more than than the bottom 90 percent put together.
How could the rich not gain from his tax scheme?
