Excerpt:
[Republicans in the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that would abolish the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), eliminate the national income tax and replace it with a national consumption tax.
Fox News Digital has learned that the House will be voting on Georgia Republican Rep. Buddy Carter's reintroduced Fair Tax Act that aims to reel in the IRS and remove the national income tax, as well as other taxes, and replace them with a single consumption tax.
The vote on the bill was made as part of the deal between House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and members of the House Freedom Caucus and was pushed forward in his quest for the gavel last week.]
What if the blackmail has changed hands? Obviously I don't really know, but I'm still seeing weird behavior that can seemingly only be explained by a different controller pulling all these puppet strings.
Take Dems not giving McCarthy the votes he needed in round1 or 2...the argument is that they'd lose support of their Dem followers for being inconsistent or hypocritical? Maybe I mis-read that potential effect, but I haven't seen that be an issue for these followers before. I think the DS crosses the isle there and cuts the Freedom Caucus out of the equation. When you think about it Dems literally gave the Freedom Caucus it's power...what did they have except holding out? It's either one of the biggest political strategy blunders ever or something different is operating in those shadows of DC.
Add all the mask/earlobe weirdness with Joe and maybe there isn't so much resistance. [In general...I don't have any high hopes for this particular Bill.]
