Thune on millionaire tax: 'I don’t want to see taxes go up on anybody'

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) is making it clear that he’s not a fan of President Trump’s proposal earlier this week to raise taxes on wealthy income earners, but he’s willing to listen to what the president has in mind.

“I don’t want to see taxes go up on anybody,” Thune said in an interview Friday with CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

“We’re all about lowering taxes, not raising taxes,” Thune told host Joe Kernen, but he acknowledged that Trump is not a “conventional” Republican.
