...by thwarting a democratic attempt to repeal tax laws that encourage corporations to keep exporting jobs overseas. Now connect the dots: tax breaks for the rich, slave labor, US job losses, obeying corporate masters, republican politicians, all in one sentence. What a surprise! This total disrespect for the working class barely caused a stir in corporate media. Had the average citizen been aware of this, with unemployment nearing 20%, I suspect there would have been riots in the streets.

We have the most over taxed wealthy people in the world. I posted links to that in the past.

So since half the wealthy disappeared in the Obama Depression, where you going to get these taxes when all the businesses are sucking gas as well? This is insane IMO.

And he is different from EVERY other politician in what way? We have a system of creating law that is the best that money can buy. To be re-elected takes massive amounts of money.
Our system is skewed to rewarding the richest .001%. The working class, the working professional class pay the country's bills. The question is at what point of wealth is it cheaper to hire a flock of tax-dodging lawyers and politicians? I have done well financially, and am finding out that that point is much lower than I ever thought possible, because I am there.
