I've actually barely even started my research into this. Some notes that I've made so far center around corporate tax reform and lower taxes. I need to see how this differs from the Bush-era trickle-down economics (if at all).

With the tax reform, if he can keep money on the books, corporations will have to either reinvest or pay their share of taxes. Either is great. Right now, a lot of big companies are sending money out a backdoor. As for small businesses, they either reinvest, or pay the 30some percent. The 15% rate will seem more worthwhile for small business to hold on to some cash. More companies holding onto cash could soften the blow when interest rates start to rise.

I'm also intrigued by the tariff ideas. I don't know the repercussions on that other than forcing the hand to bring some manufacturing back to the US, and if that's even a good thing at all.

If you have any good reading material on any of these topics, I'd love to see them.
