Republicans have ideas for addressing poverty and cutting corporate welfare but somehow they never seem to survive the sausage factory.
These ARE our party's proposals, Shua. Don't blame political compromises with Democrats for this.
I thought this article was talking about what had been negotiated between the House and the Senate? In any case, generally speaking there's often been a disconnect between what someone like Paul Ryan or Dave Camp puts forward as a policy proposal and what we actually see in a bill that comes out of their committees. And that has been true whether or not it is a bipartisan bill.
btw the "Fair Tax" is a national sales tax whereas the "Flat Tax" is an income tax, so they're not at all the same.
