President Trump has been traveling across the country to tout his tax reform proposal. The plan would slash corporate tax rates by about 15 percent. And the President said at a recent rally in Harrisburg, Pa., the changes would “likely give the typical American household a $4,000 pay raise.”
That number came from his Council of Economic Advisers, which just released its report on the plan. Their report echoes what the president said.
