ok, so this is mainly for the mods but I'll put this out to anyone who knows CSS. /u/espressoself is making a RIP Paul Ryan tribute video and I want to make it autoplay really big at the top of the sub when you come to the page. I'm really shit at CSS so if anyone else knows how to do stuff like this, lmk. Otherwise, it's not gonna look pretty.
I kinda want to get a pack of gum.
You're all a bunch of leftists
‘Twas the night before Taxmas, when all through the House (and Senate),
All the members were stirring, in tax policy doused;
The opening statements were drafted eloquently with care,
In hopes that the conference committee would soon be there;
Hardworking Americans were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of bigger paychecks danced in their heads;
Following 41 committee hearings, member listening sessions, and legislation passed,
The time for tax reform is now, public support amassed.
The nation’s capital on the breast of a new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of a fresh start to friends and exaggerated foes.
Then, to our wondering eyes should appear,
A comprehensive tax overhaul by the end of the year.
When, there on the 1986 tax code, there arose such a clatter,
Many sprang from their desks to see what was the matter.
Away to their employers they flew like a flash,
Hoping they’d soon go home with $1,182 more in cash.
Now, Brady! Now, Nunes! Now, Roskam, Noem, and Black!
On, Bishop! On Young! On, Upton and Shimkus—and the senators, the whole pack!
To HC-5! To the conference committee meeting! To the congressional hall!
Now negotiate away! Not for one American, but for all!
So tomorrow at 2 p.m., on speaker.gov/live, tune in,
For the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act conference meeting, live-streamed from within;
When we’ll hear them exclaim, the representatives and senators fighting this fight:
“More jobs, fairer taxes, and bigger paychecks to all, and to all a good night!”
-Paul Ryan
