I guess lefties are still hoping for a stagnant economy and high unemployment but I think the Country will prosper in spite of the obstructionist democrats.

I repeat from the OP:
Corker is now being lambasted with the trending hashtag #CorkerKickback. The International Business Times has reported that Corker, other GOP leaders and Donald Trump and his family stand to pocket millions of dollars in reduced taxes under the new provision.
#CorkerKickback Turns Up The Flame Under Senator For His Tax Vote Switch
Bob Corker says he had no idea the perk was in the bill because “I never saw the actual text” before supporting it.
Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) was still scrambling to do damage control Monday after it was revealed that he switched his vote on the GOP tax bill to yes soon after a tax deduction was added that could benefit his real estate investments.
Asked on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday about the late addition to the tax bill, Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) said it was meant to “cobble together votes” to pass the Republican measure. Corker was the only GOP senator remaining Friday who had declared his opposition to the bill. But by the end of the day, after the new deduction became part of the final bill, he issued a surprise statement announcing that he was backing the tax bill because it was an “opportunity” for business. Voting on the bill is expected to begin Tuesday.
Corker had long been opposed to the tax bill because of projections it would add an estimated $1 trillion to the federal budget deficits over 10 years. It’s possible that the latest version of the bill (with the government getting even less money with the new deduction) could mean even worse news for the nation’s debt. Corker’s switch was “so troubling” because nothing about his concerns about the deficit were addressed, tweeted Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.).

There seems to be no honor in the House or Senate. Corker can't even be honorable on his way out the door.
There was no honor when O was stealing trillions from the taxpayers with stimulus and ocare. You didn't care. No one cares. Your wailing is falling on deaf ears.
"Pork" is usually in the form of spending for a member's district. Not a personal windfall.
Wait you guys are turning on one of your favorite republicans...awwwwww.#CorkerKickback Turns Up The Flame Under Senator For His Tax Vote Switch

So your philosophy is that doing the right thing is equal to doing the wrong thing if when doing the wrong thing you're able to point to someone else that you claim also did the wrong thing?

high unemployment
"Pork" is usually in the form of spending for a member's district. Not a personal windfall.
Using tax dollars to buy votes for re-election is a 'windfall'....
Using tax dollars to pay for votes that gets politicians re-elected is a 'personal windfall' when you consider that politician is becoming a millionaire while in Congress (almost all do / are), elevate themselves to positions above the Constitution and / or Laws they pass and impose on others, and all of the other perks they enjoy...."Pork" is usually in the form of spending for a member's district. Not a personal windfall.

No,dope. Using tax dollars that are a PERSONAL WINDFALL to a member to bribe that member for a YES vote.
And all those whining about how people don't pay their fair share / could/should pay more - Nothing is stopping them from paying more than Uncle Sam says they owe. GO FOR IT! (They would, instead, rather FORCE others to pay more, not offer to do so themselves...)The Democrats who are opposed to the Tax Reform Bill should teach President Trump real lesson by refusing to take any of their tax deductions
Harry Reid (D-Nev.) joined the U.S. Senate a pauper, and retired a multi-millionaire. How did that happen?

I guess you missed the part where the "kickback" was actually published a month ago. No kickback, just more bullpoo from the progressive silly people.
It amazes me how far away this is from what Rubio ... and even Ryan ... argued for two years ago.

That is different you see Liberals all know what is best for us unwashed masses and they deserve to get all the perks not those pesky conservativesCorker is now being lambasted with the trending hashtag #CorkerKickback.
I remember when the Democrats had no issue whatsoever with the Cornhusker Kickback and the Louisiana Purchase in the ACA to secure Ben Nelson's and Mary Landrieu's vote. Oh, and they never read the bill either.
Hypocrite.
