Trump: Scrap Obamacare Mandates, Cut Taxes for Middle Class

President Donald Trump told Congress Wednesday to repeal Obamacare mandates and use the savings to apply to tax cuts for the middle class.

Wouldn't it be great to Repeal the very unfair and unpopular Individual Mandate in ObamaCare and use those savings for further Tax Cuts.....

....for the Middle Class. The House and Senate should consider ASAP as the process of final approval moves along. Push Biggest Tax Cuts EVER
