Im glad he said it . Guys like CP 3 feed of that shit . Keep feedin him . <| sep |> I ' m not saying that ' s what Democrats should do . I ' m saying that ' s why we ' re suspicious of any innocent plans to open and rewrite the tax code . It ' s like someone wanting to open a bank vault and just promising , scout ' s honor , that they won ' t steal anything while they ' re in there . It ' s asking for a degree of trust that simply hasn ' t been earned in a long time . And to be fair , Republicans do a lot more complaining about the tax code than Democrats do . It harms Republican constituencies more directly than Democratic ones . I ' m obviously not in Congress , but a grand bargain might still be possible if both sides sent good people to the table . Good people who agreed on fair and open rules for what would and would not be done , with no chance for either side to pull a fast one or queer the deal at the eleventh hour with poison pills . I ' d trust Paul Ryan to keep his word , but he can ' t do that as long as he ' s held hostage by his own caucus . Poor bastard can ' t govern like an adult , as much as he ' s always wanted to .
