    Watch Congress turn bodyguards into something you can get a tax break for, like they did for private jets under Trump’s tax reform. In the end they’ll find a way to make sure we pay for it, not them.

      Cool. Then the general public should be able to hire bodyguards for their kids in school for massive tax breaks.

      We don’t pay for it with a tax break. They still pay for it they just get some money back for doing it come tax time.
