There’s a famous old Woody Allen joke that: “those who can’t do, teach. And those that can’t teach, teach gym.”

The latest Trump tax cut plan would be a steroid injection for the U.S. economy. Bravo to the White House and congressional leaders for packaging the biggest pro-growth tax cut since Reagan.

One of the most enduring lessons from the Obamacare fiasco, is that to win a political battle it is best to keep the message simple.
