Tea Party group supports GOP tax plan

The Tea Party group FreedomWorks on Wednesday praised the Republican framework to cut taxes and simplify the tax code.

“The framework released today represents a transformation of America’s tax code and would help the middle class,” FreedomWorks President Adam Brandon said in a statement. “It simplifies a complex system that taxpayers spend billions annually to comply with and will spur economic growth, allowing American businesses to increase wages and create more jobs.”
