MIAMI (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush's tax reform plan calls for a lower corporate tax rate and immediate tax deductions for business investments.
The former Florida governor also wants to cut personal income tax brackets from seven to three, with the lowest rate at 10 percent.
He outlined the proposal in an op-ed published Tuesday on The Wall Street Journal's website.

Bush said he wants to create a tax code that is "simple, fair and clear," and predicts it will help the U.S. economy grow faster.
Bush, who trails in the polls nationally and in early primary states, has offered up several policy proposals in recent weeks to combat the bombastic campaign
