After Healthcare Failure, Republican Lawmakers Turn to Tax Reform
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Following Republican senators' failure to pass a healthcare plan,
lawmakers are now focusing on tax reform. The White House is pushing to
cut the corporate tax rate to a mere 15 percent-down from 35 percent. On

plan that includes tax cuts for the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans.
