Obviously my Republican colleagues don't want to talk about their radical Republican tax bill. I understand. I know why, because it is an actual bill on the American taxpaying public, a bill that would tax Social Security and would eliminate tax deductions on State and local taxes that taxpayers have already paid. It will implement chainsaw CPI. Instead, they want to focus on a phony scandal--I understand it--and not this extreme scandal Republican tax bill, a bill they will force upon the American public.
