Is Corporate Bribery Silencing The Voices of American Protesters?
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2011/09/20/is-corporate-bribery-silencing-the-voices-of-american-protesters/

Almost every Republican in Congress made a pledge to a powerful Washington lobbyist that they would never raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans.

This was not a pledge to represent the American people or to protect America’s interests as a whole. It was a pledge to protect Wall Street instead of Main Street.

:snip:

The GOP is putting forth their best effort to brainwash America into believing this is fair by pitching the idea that these are the job creators and you can’t raise taxes on the job creators.

The past ten years have proven that the wealthy are NOT the job creators in America. (Simply put, it’s the middle class that creates jobs. When the middle class has the money to buy products and services, they create demand. Demand spurs job creation.)

1. No! High Taxes are what's eating the protesters!


lol

If we just lower taxes and remove any and all gubbmint regallayshun, those pesky protesters would have JOBS and MONEY and no time to protest.


Lowering taxes also:

*cures cancer and diabetes

*gets rid of bedbugs

*reverses male pattern baldness


and people with lots of money ALWAYS do the right thing...derf-dee-derf :crazy:
