Kevin Brady on Fox promising upcoming tax cuts for all, and simplification. Coming within weeks.

Pretty much as this article/video reports...

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-Texas). Rep. Brady: Confident we'll get tax reform this year
Wednesday, 1 Feb 2017 | 8:32 AM ET | 02:20

Overhauling the nation's tax code for families and business will happen this year, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady promised on CNBC on Wednesday.
With Republicans controlling the White House and Capitol Hill, Brady said there can't be any delay.

"We get a chance for tax reform once in a generation," the Texas Republican said on "Squawk Box," promising the lowest tax rates in "modern times."

President Donald Trump has also made tax cuts a top priority for his administration.
Trump and GOP leaders want Democrats to help chart the course for taxes, Brady said, but stressed Republicans are prepared to go it alone.

They tried these tax cuts under G W Bush and they didn't work. And, last time I checked that, was not a generation ago. But, who needs facts and logic when you are kissing the feet of your supreme leader.
