In particular, Hillsdale College in Michigan, which has strong ties to the DeVoses (Erik Prince went there...)

Hillsdale College has ties to lots of Republicans. Quality school, but it is rather cultish.

Is Corker actually a solid 100% no in the future, or did McConnell only allow him to vote no since it was going to pass anyway?

Since he's retiring, and the GOP can't exactly afford to kick anyone out of their caucus, Corker's vote can't exactly be whipped by normal means. How he votes will show how much of a GOP hack he is.

It's been a few years since I took my taxation courses, and AMT was one of the most f***ed up things we learned (basically only defended by the prof who said that anyone in the room who became a tax lawyer could thank Congress for their job), but having AMT = statutory rate is not the same thing as repealing every "loophole".

Household income of $200k for a family of four is barely upper-middle class in the average city, imo. Just middle-class in NYC.
