Senator Lindsay Graham explained it. The impending “tax reform” must pass. It must pass because if it doesn’t become law, the puppet masters of politics will cut the strings on a number of Republican elected puppets.
Senator Graham didn’t say it quite like that, of course. But, in its own way, his statement was far more illustrative of what We the People face when dealing with these two corrupt political parties.
When asked “what would happen” if the Rs failed to push through tax “reform,” he replied, “The party fractures, most incumbents in 2018 will get a severe primary challenge, a lot of them will lose, the base will fracture, the financial contributions will stop, other than that, it’ll be fine.” (Emphasis mine.)
Or, as Republican Representative Chris Collins put it, “My donors are saying, ‘Get it done, or don’t ever call me again.’”
Notice, if you will, that the motivation both these powerful Republican office holders expressed for passing the tax “reform” bill has nothing to do with what is in the best interest of We the People. It also has nothing to do with what is best for the United States of America.
Their motivation, their reason for doing this, is, as they say themselves, the protection of the Republican Party and their own cushy jobs.
Is that really all “tax reform” is about?
