WASHINGTON Rev. Al Sharpton, host of Politics Nation on MSNBC, told PJM that President Trumps proposal to lower the corporate tax rate to 15 percent would not reap a lot of jobs or help average Americans who voted for the businessman.

Sharpton said a poor person in the Rust Belt who voted for Trump wants to see that his priority is me.

Sharpton, the president of the National Action Network, was asked if he supported Trump's proposal to bring down the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 15 percent.

I mean, I think its good for corporations, but what about the average person that he promised help for? They get a minimal decrease, and a huge increase for those that benefit from the corporate tax rate going down a huge benefit for investment and those that benefit from the tax breaks of passing on their, lets say, the taxes that they were getting, a higher bracket tax, in terms of if youre [getting] an inheritance, thats the word Im looking for. I think when you balance it, its much more beneficial to corporations and the wealthy than it is the minimal middle-class tax for people that really need a real break, Sharpton said at the recent White House Correspondents Dinner.

When asked if he thinks the corporate tax rate is too high or not, Sharpton replied, I thinkbringing it down some may be good, but you should have it a middle-class tax cut that is much more substantive. Theres no evidence that lowering the corporate tax is going to reap a lot of jobs.

Sharpton was asked if he agreed with Trumps plan for across-the-board cuts for the individual tax rates.
