Trump and Brady say more tax cuts coming

President Donald Trump and the House’s top tax writer said separately Wednesday that Republicans are working on a second round of tax cuts.

House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady (R-Texas) declined to discuss many details of what Republicans have in a mind, but said a proposal would be unveiled sometime this year.

“We think even more can be done,” he said in an interview with Fox Business News. “We want to make sure we’re encouraging innovation in America, we want to help families save for the long term.”

Later in the day, Trump said there would be a "phase two" for tax cuts, though he didn't provide any details either.

“It’s going to be something very special. Kevin Brady’s working on it with me,” Trump said at a roundtable discussion in St. Louis with business executives, workers and educators.

Got my estimated taxes for 2018 from the accountant (based on 2017 income) and I have to pay more because some of the deductions are gone. Thanks, Don.

Amazing how they would struggle with a math concept until I put a dollar sign in front of the numbers. People know the tax bill is nothing but a scam.
