Seeing Through Sea of Pre-2020 Dem Tax Plans

With 2019 nearly halfway through, 2020's US presidential election is starting to take shape. Nearly two dozen Democratic presidential hopefuls have thrown their hats into the ring officially, with more entries possible. Such a crowded field means each candidate is clamoring for media attention. One surefire way of getting it? Talk taxes. Potential tax hikes and changes rank high on candidates' platforms thus far, stealing voters' attention—and, potentially, stoking fear. But November 2020 is still far away. Much will change as the field narrows and politicians' stances evolve. Overrating tax rhetoric now seems like worrying prematurely—and, quite possibly, unnecessarily.
