(Worthy News) – House Republicans on Wednesday voted for the second time in two days to pass a major tax overhaul, sending the $1.5 trillion tax cut to President Trump, as promised, just before Christmas.
“With the new tax system we will deliver today, things will change for the better, and they will change immediately,” said the bill’s author, Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas, on the House floor.
The House passed the bill 224-201, after passing it Tuesday 227-203. Twelve Republicans voted “no” in both votes. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
