Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, inserted language into the final tax bill that would enrich three different constituencies: fossil fuel firms, Republicans major campaign donors and a handful of Cornyns GOP congressional colleagues.
Cornyns amendment ensures Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs), which are publicly traded partnerships that arent required to pay corporate income taxes, get the pass-through tax break in the final tax bill. Congressional Republicans have settled on a 20 percent deduction for some types of pass-through entities in their final tax bill as a way to give those businesses, which don't pay corporate taxes, some of the tax relief the bill gives to corporations, which do pay the corporate levy.

Maybe it's not too late to give his seat to Katie McGinty.
