Presidential hopefuls in both parties have made taxes a central policy issue for 2016. Some have proposed bold new taxes, others have proposed replacing existing taxes with new ways for the government to raise revenue, and others are rethinking how the tax code should affect low- and middle-income households. Some of these new approaches to taxation may outlive the election season. Experts from the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center will discuss the politics and policy behind these campaign proposals.
