The end of common good and general welfare.

I really think that the ultimate goal of the republicans is to end any sense that we are all in this together. Once a tax break is enacted for the middle class it will be impossible to raise taxes on any income level in the future, that is why the standard deduction was doubled. There will be no concern about the deficit because that will be dealt with in the future as an "emergency", then the end of any social programs will begin. The dream of the GOP is to go back to pre-new deal economics and governing.

required the corporation to show "common good and general welfare" for the privilege of tax breaks. Whatever happened to that?
