Still, Brady also appeared to indirectly nod at the obstacles that another tax bill would have across the way in the Senate. \u201cThey may have a different timetable there, but I see an early fall passage out of the House to build momentum,\u201d he said at an Americans for Prosperity event in his district outside Houston. (Another issue to consider: How long lawmakers will actually be in Washington this fall, with the mid-terms looming.) Other highlights from Brady\u2019s appearance: The Ways and Means chairman detailed other areas of the tax system where he\u2019s hoping to see further changes, including retirement savings, promoting innovation and indexing capital gains for inflation.<\/p>\n
And Brady also asked for AFP\u2019s help in what he called the \u201cbigger challenge right in front of us\u201d \u2014 ensuring that more taxpayers know that they just got a tax cut, a request that underscores that GOP officials believe they still have work to do to make the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act a boost for their candidates this fall. \u201cA lot of Americans don\u2019t know that it has helped them,\u201d Brady said, noting that when he asks town halls whether they\u2019ve noticed a tax cut that \u201cmost of the audience look at each other like, \u2018what is he talking about?’\u201d \u201cThey didn\u2019t know to check. And in a world of direct deposit, they don\u2019t even know how to check,\u201d Brady added. If that changes, Brady noted, \u201cthey\u2019re going to support conservatives and Republicans in November.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
