The topic of Federal tax code reform was in the news today. Koch Republic employee (and GOP Rep.) Tom Price of Georgia had this to say: "Tax reform is absolutely imperative to get this economy rolling.”
Translation: Koch Republic upper management is tired of paying taxes. They have islands to buy, palatial estates to build, and offshore bank accounts to fill. Okay, the bit about tax reform getting the economy rolling is nonsense, but the base loves it, even the middle class and poor ones. We'll take a few bucks off their taxes, too, and they'll be thrilled. See, everyone wins.
