Still, one durable truth on Capitol Hill is that Congress, no matter how divided, always seems to produce a tax bill. These tax bills often appear to come out of nowhere. But with hindsight, one can often see that the signs and the ingredients for that legislation were there all along, visible to those looking hard enough for them.
