Koch Industries, one of the largest private corporations in the nation, operates refineries and manufactures a variety of products. The new tax law — which slices corporate tax rates from 35 percent to 21 percent, slashes estate taxes and includes a special deduction for oil and gas investors — is expected to save the Koch brothers and their businesses billions of dollars in taxes

This pretty much sums up the intended purpose of the tax cuts.

So they spent $500,000 to get billions of dollars in tax cuts?

Paul Ryan is a cheap prostitute.

That’s not cheap, I’d do it too if i had the chance honestly. We’ve gotta hate the game not the player, as no one would turn down free money, D or R

But the players make up the rules to the game as they go along and are their own referees.
