Trump's goal is to revitalize/incentivize the workforce. Extra tax penalty for working 40hrs or less wouldn't do that.
I remember the day I discovered working a couple of hours of OT per week put me in a higher tax bracket and I took home only a couple of extra dollars for those last 2 hours. Trump's plan would eliminate that discouraging feature. Oh the extra money I could have made in my early years with Trump's tax plan!
Any normal hours are still taxed. That means if you're not working yourself to death, if you're not neglecting family and friends, each dollar you earn is taxed more heavily than those who slave away.
