Trump: "The middle class has been forgotten for many years. They came out, and they like Trump."

From the WSJ transcript, discussing the "middle class tax cut."

WSJ: Then why need it? Why do you need this one, then?

Mr. Trump: Because I think it’s a good thing for the middle class. And don’t forget, that’s money that gets distributed back into the economy. In a different way than a business would do it, but it’s money distributed back into the economy. And we are going to do—we’re doing very well.

WSJ: Do you have any idea where that—should the cutoff be for the middle class?

Mr. Trump: No, I just—we’re going to a 10%. No, that’ll be—that’ll be—will be a great thing for the middle class. I think the middle class deserves it. The middle class has been forgotten for many, many years. I call it the forgotten men and women. They came out, and they like Trump. But the fact is the middle class has been forgotten for many years. And what we’re going to do—this would be a resolution, because they’re out, but we’re doing the resolution now.

WSJ: We can’t do the resolution till they get back.

Mr. Trump: They have to—when they get back, we’ll do the actual filings.
