President Donald Trump is promising a "middle class miracle" as he tries to build momentum behind his plan to overhaul the nation's tax code and revive his moribund legislative agenda.
Hours after the White House and congressional Republicans released a framework for sweeping changes to the tax system, the president told hundreds of supporters at the Indiana State Fairgrounds the plan was "a once-in-a-generation opportunity."
Trump says, "This is a revolutionary change and the biggest winners will be the everyday American workers as jobs start pouring into our country, as companies start competing for American labor, and as wages start going up at levels that you haven't seen in many years," he said.
