Hillary Clinton’s tax proposals would increase taxes by $1.4 trillion over the next decade and would reduce the growth of the economy by 2.6 percent, according to ananalysis from the Tax Foundation.

Since January when the Tax Foundation first scored Clinton’s tax plan, Clinton has introduced a number of new taxes on individuals and businesses. At that time, the Foundation estimated that her plan would raise taxes by $498 billion over the next decade and would reduce gross domestic product by 1 percent.

“The majority of her proposals raise taxes directly on high-income taxpayers,” the Foundation said in a new report. “Her plan would enact a new surtax on taxpayers with incomes above $5 million, a 30 percent minimum tax (the Buffet Rule), a limit on itemized deductions to a tax value of 28 percent, and an estate tax increase to a top rate of 65 percent for estates worth $1 billion or more.”
