WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump plans to make a public push to overhaul the nation’s tax system next week in Springfield, Missouri.

The White House says the president will be making the stop in southwest Missouri on Wednesday to begin selling his administration’s calls to change the tax system. Administration officials have said Trump plans to hold events around the country in the coming weeks to promote the tax overhaul.

The White House has expressed hope that the changes can be approved in Congress by the end of the year and will be working with the leaders of congressional tax-writing committees after the Labor Day holiday.

Administration officials have said that lowering personal and business tax rates will lead to millions of new jobs and spur faster economic growth.

  1. All of Trump’s agenda initiatives are like trying to push cooked spaghetti from one end expecting the other end to go forward. Sad…

  2. Missouri, makes sense. I wonder if he’s going to make any of these appearances in blue states.

  3. Springfield, MO. is now the driving force of Missouri politics, also known as the bible belt, and there is a large population of white nationalists, so perfect for Trump’s visit.

    “Administration officials have said that lowering personal and business tax rates will lead to millions of new jobs and spur faster economic growth.” I wonder why with aim in mind Trump didn’t go to Kansas to push for this?

  4. We’ve got a really, really great plan for tax reform. But first, I want to talk about No Good Joni Ernst and Lousy Loser Bob Corker. And then the Jeff Bezos Amazon Washington Post. And then how much I respect Kim Jong-un for respecting me. And then Angela Merkel, am I right?..

    Zzzzzzz.

  5. It’s not Tax Reform, it’s not Tax Overhaul, it’s Cut Taxes for the Very, Very Rich.
