My expensive accountants didn’t bother mentioning the Section 174 changes because like every year since the 50’s that law has been delayed or overridden through other legislation.
Manchin killed the bill last year that would have extended the protection from 174…
- lotsofpulp 4y agoOne politician cannot be held responsible for a bill not passing that requires the votes of many others.
- adamsmith143 4y agoAre you aware of how the Senate has been operating for the past few years? A single Senator can indeed scuttle entire legislation.
- bradlys 4y agoIt’s all a horse and pony show. It’s most definitely not just one politician deciding things - they just want you to think that. Ever notice how the villain changes ever few months? It’s planned.
- goodSteveramos 4y agoThe overlap in donors between GOP and Democrats is insane. Its literally the same few thousand big donors directing policy and the Republican/Democrat thing is just pro-wrestling to entertain the low-information public.
- eclipxe 4y agoNo it's not and no, I don't notice that the villain changes every few months. Example?
- agar 4y agoA single senator and an entire political party OP is right. Manchin gets the blame but 50 others voted against it as well, many who would be willing to cross the aisle but for the toxic partisan environment in this country.

- light_hue_1 4y agoExcept that section 174 was fine until Republicans under Trump controlled every aspect of congress and passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) in 2017. That act changed section 174 in this stupid and extremely detrimental way. So no. It was exactly "one party" (the Republican party) whose fault this is.
- fareesh 4y agoNot sure if this is widely known but none of those people read anything in the bills unless an important person tells them to care about a specific clause.
- ilamont 4y agoTrue. The bills are literally hundreds of pages long.
