ResumeBush has already implemented big tax cuts, and some of the proposals on the table include sacking the income tax for a broad-based consumption tax or implementing a flat tax. Any change to the tax code would affect who pays the government's bills and who doesn't.
Tune in for a hard look at President Bush's big push for tax reform and what it means for your household.
