Your Call: Winners and losers under Trump's tax plan

On the November 29th edition of Your Call, we’ll have a conversation with investigative journalist and author David Cay Johnston about Donald Trump’s tax proposal.

During the campaign, Trump promised the biggest tax cut since Ronald Reagan. He said he plans to slash the top business tax rate from 35 percent to 15 percent. According to the Tax Policy Center, this policy would cost the government $6.2 trillion over 10 years. How will this impact you?  Email your questions and comments to feedback@yourcallradio and join the conversation live at 10am with Rose Aguilar and you.
