Yes, it's outrageous. However, it's even more outrageous that Flake learned of it only AFTER he voted for the bill. Why don't those jerks on the Potomac read the bills BEFORE they vote?

Because then they'd have no excuse for not voting against it. It's all about CYA...

Because they are afraid that others will not allow them to bring home the bacon to their own state. So it becomes a big orgy of self-interest that will destroy this country. The founding fathers had at least one major blind spot--that government would continue to grow and grown and grown. They should have added into the Constitution that governments at all levels (federal, state, country, city) could never collect taxes that amount to more than 10% of the average citizen's income. That is the only way that government can be controlled--cut off its purse strings.
