Quoted:
CNN The leaders of the Senate Finance Committee last month asked senators to submit written proposals detailing tax breaks they'd like to see preserved once the tax code is reformed and explain why. The point was to help inform committee leaders in their efforts to craft a tax reform bill....
A memo sent out on July 19 promised to mark all submissions "COMMITTEE CONFIDENTIAL. NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION. DO NOT COPY. These materials may not be released to the public from the National Archives or by the Finance Committee prior to December 31, 2064." What's more, the memo said that in addition to the committee's chairman and top Republican, only 10 staffers would be authorized to see the proposals. Only two digital copies of them would be made. Each would be saved on a secure, password-protected server. Paper copies would be kept in locked safes. If "sunlight is the best disinfectant", Congress is in the darkest corner of the basement, under the furnace, with a sewer line leaking on it. Most of their tax proposals will reflect who is their highest campaign donor.

I'll tell my Senator that I don't like it - while I'm at it, I will ask that he stop voting himself increased benefit packages and raises.
^This, is the feeling of law-abiding impotence. |

50 years, so they have to hide what they are doing, our founding fathers would not approve.
