There will be no reform just a massive tax cut for the rich and corporations that will make the Reagan and Bush cuts pale in comparison.
The wealthy and corporations will effective have a tax rate close to zero, bankrupting the country and leading to the destruction of all social programs, including SS and Medicare.
This is their goal and they have the votes to do it. There are no Republiscums that will oppose it.

They can pass a straight up tax cut in the House and Senate and reconcilliation won't be a problem.
