Former President Trump is proposing a tax reform that would exempt overtime pay from taxes as part of his 2024 presidential campaign strategy. He argues that this measure would boost earnings for workers, particularly benefiting those who work overtime. However, the specifics of the proposal remain unclear, particularly regarding whether it will affect just income tax or also payroll taxes that fund Social Security and Medicare. This move is part of a broader aim to attract middle and working-class voters with lucrative tax cuts, amidst criticism for its ambiguous details.
