As The Hill reports, the U.S. Senate’s “top tax writers have promised
their colleagues 50 years worth of secrecy in exchange for suggestions on
what deductions and credits to preserve” in a tax “reform” bill that aims
to overhaul the tax code from scratch. The system, reports the newspaper,
allows only 10 congressional staff members to have “direct access to a
senator’s written suggestions” and “each submission will be given its own
ID number and be kept on password-protected servers, with printed versions
kept in locked safes” in the National Archives until the end of 2064.
The architects of this scheme, Senators Max Baucus (D-MT) and Orrin Hatch (R
-UT) suggest that secrecy is the best way to facilitate input from all
senators, as lawmakers will know they can make substantive suggestions
without the fear of political retribution. |
