    All summer long, Donald Trump has used populist language to describe a tax plan he finally announced today. He described what he calls his "zero rate" tax plan as simple, easy, fair and "graduated so as you get up in income… the economy will grow rapidly." He continued, "This is actually a tax reduction -- a big tax reduction – including for the upper income… they'll end up doing better." So does the plan live up to his own promises? Josh Barro writes for New York Times' Upshot Blog. He's also host of KCRW's Left, Right and Center.
