There's an amazing quote from US Sen. Ron Johnson, R-WI), in the big weekend New York Times story about his opposition to the billionaire-friendly tax cut bills backed by the House or his party's Senate leaders.
Not, he didn't come out against lop-sided favors like the special tax breaks for private jet owners, or others which benefit foreign investors in US corporations.
He's not raising the alarm over the billions of dollars in cuts the bill will automatically trigger in Social Security or Medicare, or to the ruinous elimination of deductions for costly nursing home care or similar expenses borne by parents of children with, say, autism or diabetes or MS,
Don't look for those objections because Johnson is OK with all that. So far, his only beef with the legislation is that it doesn't give bigger tax cuts to small businesses known in accountant jargon as "pass-throughs" like the one in Oshkosh his in-laws let him help run.
Here's the surprise quote from Johnson:
It's not because Johnson has a pre-existing condition - - being without heart.
He's got Voluntarily-acquired Republican malevolence, also known as Paul Aynryanism.
