Be wary of tax bill

Thu., Nov. 16, 2017

Imagine my surprise when our Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers stated on Nov. 2 “The 700 Club” broadcast that our tax code has more words than the Bible but none of the good words. But that does not top the key point she stated: “This federal tax bill has to pass, don’t worry about the details.” Really? The details make the bill, not the good intentions title, which she has obviously swallowed. With that reasoning the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau can be gutted because people that are defrauded by financial institutions are just stupid, like the Wells Fargo clients. Really?
