  01-10-2017 23:59

• Washington Post Editorial: Tax reform proposal is for dishonest political cowards

  01-10-2017 23:03
  Tax reform was supposed to attract wide, bipartisan support. Lower rates would be fully offset by cutting unneeded deductions and loopholes. The benefit would be a simpler, more efficient tax code.

Republicans who know better must resist this path.President Donald Trump released a tax reform framework Wedne
