Are you intentionally ignoring my point? The issue has NOTHING to do with whether or not the Tea Party had any effect on the law one way or the other. Again, NOTHING to do with that.

You said ""and apparently the Tea Party made little or no headway there affecting this Tax Overhaul."

This alludes to efforts of some kind made by the Tea Party to oppose this tax law.

The TP very well might have made some efforts but it isn't even hinted at in the article but you threw it in there anyway in what is an obvious promotion of your own agenda.

Everyone does it here from time to time. What separates those with integrity from those who completely lack it is an acknowledgement of the agenda and their efforts.

((I typed this post very, very slowly......hopefully that helps))

And I stand on what I said earlier, that I never said that they ACTUALLY affected the legislation, just that it was APPARENT to me from the wording that the Tea Party failed to have any affect on the legislation. And, as I said earlier, in New York the Tea Party has become totally identified with the Republican Party and Vice Versa, especially the Conservative Republicans, and they have the Moderate Republicans almost totally cowed, so when a New York article says that Republicans have a problem with something like this, readers understand that the two labels have become code words for each other. You may think that they are NOT looked upon as mirror images of each other, but until such time as the Republican Party in New York announces the divorce from the Tea Party, Democrats and Independents will continue to view the two groups as apparently one and the same.
