Congressman Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) who blasted a “physically fit” couple for using food stamps at a suburban Virginia grocery store, collected 370,000 dollars in federal stimulus money for his Oklahoma plumbing company. Mullin who brags about turning the plumbing company into a successful business never mentions the government help he received to make it thrive. Or if he did not need the money to prop up his plumbing firm, he never mentions that his business was “physically fit” and that he did not actually need stimulus money to keep it afloat.
So you're saying the stimulus money was wasted, or are you trying to say that the Congressmen took advantage of the "shovel ready" job bill to create employment?
If the government gives money to a person, it's communism. If the government gives money to a business, it's free-market capitalism. Simple to understand.

That about sums it up, especially if said business is doesn't employ many people, doesn't pay livable wages, and doesn't provide benefits.
Is he supposed to reject what is from taxes that Obama is giving out. The administration decided who gets what. Its like saying those who are against raising taxes should not take deductions.
Did the company work on a job that was paid for by the stimulus or did the company just receive or take the stimulus money as the OP implies? That's rhetorical. The feigned leftist outrage is laughable (as always).
He is paid $174,000 a year by the federal government to perform Congressional duties and runs a plumbing business that gets state contracts.
He has plenty of like-minded friends on both side of the table doing the same thing.
