Sen. Mike Lee speaks Truth: If we don't get tax reform done, we're DEAD ‐ [VIDEO]

[Right Scoop] Mike Lee was on with Stuart Varney this morning, explaining that if Republicans fail at both repealing Obamacare and tax reform, they are dead:

Lee couldn’t be more right. If they don’t get meaningful tax reform done in the wake of their Obamacare failure, then what good are they?

Trump is set to give a speech this afternoon on tax reform to get the ball rolling. But honestly, after all the disagreement on Obamacare, I don’t have high hopes for the tax reform battle. I fear we will end up with a reform that doesn’t really reform anything.

#2 That's it, because we 'have to pay for the tax cuts' to make sure they're 'revenue neutral'.

#4 If we don't do something about the demographics of this country, tax cuts will be a moot point in short order anyway.
