Rep. Brady: Tax plan takes fresh approach to help workers

Season 2017 Episode 1220 | 7m 03s

House Republicans unveiled an ambitious tax overhaul that they say will simplify American taxes and encourage economic growth. But critics argue that businesses and wealthy Americans are the biggest beneficiaries and that middle-class Americans stand to lose. Judy Woodruff speaks with Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, the lead author of the bill, for a closer look at the plan and chances for passage.
