    not ideological

    "Its ideological insistence on cutting taxes for the richest Americans ran up a record deficit."

    There is nothing ideological about it. Ideological decisions are made out of principle, regardless of the merits of those principles.

    But flat tax schemes and lower taxes for the rich are self-serving decisions, not ideological ones. They serve the financial needs of the wealthy base of the GOP, nothing more.
