This lie from Rep. Kevin Brady to this MSNBC host on taxes makes Trump's lies seem minuscule.

Republican Rep. Kevin Brady has the ability to lie much more smoothly than Trump. He turned a Democratic tax cut into a giveaway to the rich.

Maybe if those at the very top end of the income and wealth spectrum kicked in even a flat 10%, the federal coffers would be fine.

No Republican has ever whined about tax giveaways to the uber wealthy, so you know it's bullshit.
