Thanks. Interesting article.
“Regrettably, Rep. Goodlatte did not explain exactly how he’d pay for government without a tax code. Nor did he describe what revenue collection method would replace the existing system.”
“This fiscal foolishness is a variation of the repeal-and-replace cry against the Affordable Care Act. There too, Goodlatte and colleagues have never quite gotten past repeal. For four years, we have been fruitlessly awaiting their replacement plan.”
“This sort of legislation is pernicious because it makes it easy for lawmakers to take meaningless votes to “balance the budget” or “abolish the tax code” or “abolish Obamacare” without ever actually doing anything. They never have to stand up and support real spending cuts. They never have to identify what they would tax or how they would pay for government. Instead, they can blissfully replace the realities of governing with low-rent symbolism and cut-rate rhetoric.”
“Rep. Goodlatte is not getting the new Congress off to a great start.”

Incredible treason and double-talk.
Disgusting and disgraceful. Total coverup.
Indict that man, Danno!!!
