It’s fundamentally not conservative for the government to give any one mega corporation special privileges like this .

The very essence of modern American conservatism, dating back to at least Richard Nixon, is precisely to give special tax privileges and breaks to enormous multinational corporations and to the wealthy, while using social issues as a tool to manipulate unperceptive white voters into lending their votes to that enterprise, because since giving special tax privileges to enormous multinational corporations is not popular, they have to do something else in addition to have some shot at maintaining electoral viability.

And that is precisely, absolutely, and categorically what this is, down to the T.

You literally could not come up with a more textbook example of modern American conservatism than this even if you had a corporate research and development lab with billions of dollars of funding dedicated to coming up with the best possible most archetypally paradigmatic examples of the essence of modern American conservatism.

Not really, the 1986 Tax Reform got rid of a lot of loopholes the wealthy and corporations used at the time as well as raised the capital gains tax rate. That is the most influential tax bill in modern history and even the 2017 bill got rid of some loopholes the rich use and if Paul Ryan had his way we would have had a Border Adjustment Tax added in it too.

Sadly Trump and many tea party types in the house opposed the Border Adjustment Tax so it didnt pass.

They will have a supermajority in January, so they don't need DeSantis anyway if they want to do this.  If Orlando area Dems join in, it would be way above the veto override threshold.

So if I understand you correctly, you consider Tip O'Neill to be the apotheosis of modern American conservatism.  Love
