It’s corruption plain and simple. Just follow the money.
Republicans cream themselves over regressive taxes. Now imagine you get to put in place a tax that ultimately gets passed directly to consumers but you can claim you are helping the workers. On top of that you also have the power to make exemptions for items or even whole industries / businesses.
You want an exemption for your business to import goods… sure donate a million dollars to my PAC and it’s done.
Your CEO bad mouthed our dear leader… fuck you, time to make an exemption that favors your competitors.
When Trump stated he idolized President McKinley, it was the graft and the dirty politics from that era he idolized.
