Incoming Republican Senators Set Out Pro-Corporate Agenda For 114th Congress

Republicans senators, including those already in office and incoming new members, discussed across morning television shows on Sunday what they would like to see done in the 114th Congress.

The suite of issues senators want addressed include a grab-bag of policies sought by the powerful U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which spent more than $35 million to help elect the new GOP majority.

"I would love to see us do something in the area of tax reform," Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) said on CNN's "State of the Union." "I think initially at least, coming out of the gate, things on jobs, trade policy less tax for overseas corporations, subsidies energy policy, energy gives us a very competitive edge, very important to the economy, and that's something that I think the president, I would hope, would sign into law."

Incoming Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.V.) told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace that she hoped the White House could move on the "Keystone pipeline, tax reform, a transportation bill."

those Millenniums who think by NOT voting everything will be hunky dory.

They don't identify with either party by-God.
No party, no vote is their motto.
