House Speaker Ryan expects tax plan this fall: NYT interview

Source: Reuters




SEPTEMBER 7, 2017 / 8:56 AM / UPDATED AN HOUR AGO

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan said on Thursday he expects to unveil a proposal for overhauling the federal tax code this fall and to get legislation passed by the end of the year that includes a lower corporate tax rate.

“We want America to wake up on New Year’s Day 2018 with a new tax system,” Ryan said in an interview with The New York Times. He said congressional tax writers were close to releasing their template for the tax system overhaul.

Tax reform was a major campaign promise last year for President Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans in Congress. But the effort has been hamstrung by repeated delays and political distractions since Trump took office in January.

The president went on the road at the end of August to tout tax cuts as a way to help American workers and the middle class but Washington’s attention soon shifted to hurricanes battering the southern United States and North Korea’s latest nuclear test.

We will steal it from the working class/poor to give to the prez, donors and ourselves, sayeth the thieves in congress. Who cares if the economy tanks, we'll just lie and lie and lie and Faux Snooze will help us try to hide reality.
