Communications Director Club for Growth, the nation’s leading free-enterprise advocacy group promoting economic freedom, lower taxes and limited government. Against the backdrop of global, economic uncertainty, House Republicans just released a tax plan that will help Americans keep more of what they earn by repealing the Death Tax and cutting individual rates. The plan also calls for a “fairer” and “flatter” tax code as well as a tax filing system for Americans that should be on “something as simple as a postcard.”
