Trump to begin tax reform push next week, White House adviser tells FT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump will begin a major push next week to convince the public of the need for tax reform, shifting his focus to fiscal policy in an effort to win a big legislative victory by the end of the year, The Financial Times reported on Friday.
Trump would begin the effort next Wednesday with a speech in Missouri, the first in a series of addresses to generate public support on the issue, Gary Cohn, director of the National Economic Council, told the newspaper.
We are completely engaged in tax reform, Cohn told the FT in an interview. Starting next week the presidents agenda and calendar is going to revolve around tax reform. He will start being on the road making major addresses justifying the reasoning for tax reform.
Although Cohn stressed that tax reform would be front and center of Trumps agenda, the Republican-controlled Congress faces two other pressing issues when it returns from its August recess on Sept. 5.

(10,093 posts)1. Making major addresses on how to avoid paying taxes
Something he actually may know something about. Unfortunately if everyone gets to avoid paying taxes, vital services are cut. Must destroy the administrative state at all costs.

They are that hellbent on destroying the middle class and reducing taxes on the 1%.
