Just before the Christmas break, Congress achieved a major victory by passing a comprehensive tax reform plan, the first of its kind in more than 30 years. There were tax cuts across the board for the middle class and for most Americans. The corporate tax rate was cut from 35% to 21%. Although the death tax was not eliminated, Congress did double the deductions. This will pay positive dividends to family farms and small businesses. Chairman and CEO of Murray Energy, Mr. Bob Murray, and Jim Martin, Chairman of the 60 Plus Association, a national seniors advocacy organization, discuss the positives of tax reform and the new attitude in Washington for an effective energy policy for America going forward.
