Not only is there concerted action to keep the facts of the new tax bill from the public, as some of the links below spell out (articles include conservative authors!)

WATCH: Republican desperately tries to avoid question about GOP’s tax breaks for the ultra-rich

The fast summary of this link: At every step of the way the GOP has misrepresented the nature of the bill while individual lawmakers misled voters in insisting they would only vote for a tax plan under certain conditions.

It is also true that those who vote on this bill claim to not have the foggiest idea what they are voting on or who included items that would benefit them.

CorkerKickback: Corker, the only prior No on the bill,  will personally benefit by millions of $ from the last minute inclusions of deductions for real estate businesses. But it was all fog to him: asked by the Internation Business Tribune he said: “I had like a two-page summary I went through with leadership. I never saw the actual text.” That’s how the fate of millions of people gets decided….

Hillsdale Handout: Senator Toomey is the sole beneficiary of a clause that helps a school that he heavily supports, Hillsdale college. He was not “aware that he his pet project was the only beneficiary of the clause.”

Cornyncharity: Sen. @JohnCornyn tells @ThisWeekABC that last-minute provision enriching @SenBobCorker & other GOP lawmakers was added to the tax bill as part of an effort to “cobble together the votes we needed to get this bill passed”

PolarPayoff: Sen Lisa Murkowski’s vote was bought with, among other things, renewed access to arctic drilling. She claims to be unaware of the consequences, not lifting the fog blanket even with the easy move to read the New York Times…. link below.

All we can do is hope that they all get sent packing and on to this road in 2018.
