Senators set to vote on the GOP tax bill and they can't even read it

We've all been there. You have your assignment printed and ready to go, but are frantically scribbling down last minute additions in the desperate hope that you'll get a passing grade.

This was OK in high school English class, but what about in the U.S. Senate?

After several failed attempts to repeal and replace Obamacare, Senate Republicans are really doing everything they can get a legislative win once and for all with their tax plan—including making hasty and nearly illegible handwritten notes and straight up crossed out sections of the bill.

Their Democratic counterparts have been sharing photos of the absurdity, and they're not too happy about it.

Sen. Jon Tester of Montana posted an angry video calling out his Republican counterparts and their scribbled legislative notes on Twitter. He said he had received his copy of the bill 25 minutes earlier, just a few hours before the Senate vote.

Just an hour before she had to report to the Senate floor for a vote, Sen. Elizabeth Warren also posted a video of her trying to read the messy bill. She couldn't.

If passed by the Senate and the House and signed into law, the tax plan would make a massive cut to the corporate tax rate, give several tax cuts and benefits to the wealthiest Americans, and get rid of the individual health insurance mandate, among many, many other things.

With so many changes to the way our tax system works on the line, representatives should at least be able to know what decisions they're making on behalf of their constituents, because, you know ... democracy.
