Rep. Kevin BradyThe top lawmaker in one of Congress’ most powerful committees visited Chattanooga on Friday to talk to local business leaders about tax reform.
Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, was guest speaker at a breakfast hosted by Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, the Chattanooga Republican who represents Tennessee’s 3rd District.
President Donald Trump and Congress each have vowed to restructure the U.S. tax code, and Brady is in charge of the House effort.
“People are sick of the complicated tax code we’ve got. It’s costly and unfair,” Brady said in an interview after the breakfast.
He said Americans deserve a simpler system – in fact, they should be able to file their annual income taxes on a postcard, he said.
