I get the conflict of interest here but how does that work with something like tax cuts? Every lawmaker gets a salary and stands to benefit from a lower tax rate. Yet obviously they don't all recuse themselves.
So then I guess the Russia Tax Cut was illegal, then, because the Conservatives who voted for them all benefited from the cut to the top and corporate rates, including Trump who signed it into law.
Flash is such a lazy fucking sophist.
So?
Flash needs to find BoTh SiDeS balance because he cannot conceive of a political landscape that isn't balanced. His brain cannot process that. It's too much for someone that fucking lazy. He BoTh SiDeS because it's easier than having to do actual work to recognize and acknowledge differences and distinctions.
Really? Not everyone has student loan debt and those that do incurred it by their own choice. The one half of the population that choose to contribute to society by working are forced to pay taxes by gunpoint.
Why must AOC recuse herself, but you say nothing about the Russia Tax Cut that benefitted the wealthy GOPers who voted for it, and the Conservative President who signed it into law?
Oh right, because that would indict an already shitty tax cut and force you to defend it again when you don't want to.
I think the difference under the ethics laws is that tax cuts apply equally to everyone as opposed to targeted benefits. Also, one is forgiving a debt obligation and the other is not forgiving a debt since the money will not be owed under the new tax law. In reality, I think the distinction is more complicated.

She can only recuse herself if she loses the presidency. If she wins she then must sign the bill ( conflict of interest) or veto the bill. You don't seem to ynderstand conflict of interest.
With Trump as your leader, you have no fucking standing on ‘conflict of interest’. Your own fucking leader destroyed that concept. Ain’t that something, idiot?
Who is the half of the population not working?
Children, the elderly, and the disabled.
Who the fuck are you talking about, moron?
You're kidding, right?
The tax cuts don't apply equally! The wealthy got a larger tax cut than everyone else, and their tax cut is permanent while everyone else's expire in a couple years.
Lazy fucking Flash strikes again.
I stand corrected. Romney was absolutely correct when he said 47% of society are makers.
Takers. Sloths like you.
Simple. The tax cut applied to everybody including those who actually paid higher taxes due to changes in some deductions. It did not forgive someone of a debt obligation they undertook when they got the loan. It forgives the debt for an entitled group of college students who think they should not have to pay for a share of their own education. They should pay their fair share.

Gotcha, that makes sense.
What do you consider wealthy? Someone earning $40,000/yr.?
Here’s the deal. Tax and other bills are voted on all the time. Such as Trump’s bill to give preference to the top 1%. Well, who are many members of the top 1%.
Congressional members.
The conflict of interest argument fails. Miserabley
She is not old enough to be president.
