        The obvious response would be “On what basis then did Corker change his vote?” I’m not hanging the guy without a jury but the lack of a articulable reason troubles me. From someone who has showed considerable integrity in recent weeks, this is especially disappointing.

        Exactly. The deficit impact was his concern and that hasn't changed.

        So, why does this pass through deduction apply to real estate investors and insurance brokers but not doctors, lawyers and accountants? Can anyone explain?

        It's the two Santa Claus theory: Rs get to be the Santa Claus by running up deficit & stealing from middle class. Then when Ds are in the majority Rs scream about the deficit they created & want to cut spending especially for social programs.

        The GOP just cannot get enough of taxpayer tax dollars into their personal pockets. Here's the oil/gas #kickback that benefits @JohnCornyn @tedcruz and other members of Congress https://twitter.com/davidsirota/status/941397765225037824 …

        I can think of a few Senators who went into office not as millionaires, and none that left office not in the millionaire club. Funny how that happens on a Senators salary.

        It when lobbyists write the tax bill. If you make over $1 million a year, the ROI for donations to the @GOP must be astronomical. That small group gets $36.5 billion in 2019 alone per JCT from the tax bill. Sum of all donations can’t average more than a couple billion annually.
