We haven't even so much as an announcement of the writing of tax plan.

Because the democrats and GOP are one in the same

GOP gave us the tax increase at the end of 2012

Trump is going to have to flog them all with his Twitter in order to get any movement.

This is getting absurd. These clowns campaigned for 6 year on ObamaCare and they get the unexpected win and opportunity as its revealed they don't even have a plan.

These guys are exposing themselves everyday as exactly the reason why trump won. All talk no action

When it's al said and done they won't have tax reform, immigration reform, or obamacare repeal accomplished by the mid terms.

There's a priority list:
1. Confirming appointments
2. Obamacare
3. Tax reform
4. Legislated immigration reform
5. Legislated regulatory reform

We're over halfway through number one and its only week 3, so have a little patience.

Tax reform is a very complicated task for both personal & corporate. They need to roll-out both at the same time.

Why would we have patience when we were told 4 weeks ago that there would be a replacement bill?

There are two replacement bills already, one authored by Rand Paul, the other by Bill Cassidy. Leadership supposedly has at least one other bill yet to be released. The party is currently negotiating among its many factions to determine which approach to go with so they can present a united front. Trump has already softly endorsed Rand's Plan.

...relax. Reagan's tax plan was pushed through until late Summer early Fall in 81.

Agree or disagree.. but IMO healthcare and tax reform appear to have taken a backseat to the EPA

That's complete BS. My business is a small fabrication shop in which the war on coal almost put me out of business. It picked up the day after Trump won the election.

They are dragging taxes and Obamacare reform. They are the uniparty.

FIFY. Also, Trump has been at war with the media. That is the other piece of the puzzle for items 2-6. He needs the large percentage of the population that did not vote or voted but not for him to see the truth in the MSM's lies.
