President Donald Trump has debunked a reported plan by chief strategist Steve Bannon to create a new 44 percent top tax rate on Americans making more than $5 million a year as part of tax reform.

"No, that was not right," Trump told The Wall Street Journal in an interview Friday. "That was not a correct statement, no."

According to a full transcript of the interview obtained and published Tuesday by Politico, Journal editor-in-chief Gerard Baker asked Trump about Bannon's 44 percent plan.

There is no such thing as "taxes on the rich".  A billionaure earning $100k in 2017 pays the same tax as a homeless man earning $100k.
