Trump Heads to Missouri for Speech on the Tax Code
--------------------------------------------------

President Trump is headed today to Springfield, Missouri, where he'll
give a speech calling for an overhaul of the tax code. Trump has
proposed slashing the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to a mere 15
percent and cutting taxes for the richest Americans. Trump's tax
overhaul efforts are being led by two multimillionaires: Treasury
Secretary Steven Mnuchin and National Economic Council Director Gary
Cohn. Both are former Goldman Sachs bankers.
