For My Republican "Friends"

[AldebTX]

1) Why is it a conflict of interest for Public employees to be in Unions that collectively bargain with elected City and State representatives that that they may of helped elect, and its NOT a conflict of interest for Businesses and wealthy donors to political campaigns to lobby for bills and consideration?

2) I might agree to keep the budget at the same dollar amount as 2008 if YOU will agree that each taxpayer, both business and individual pay the EXACT dollar amount they paid in 2008. Not the same percentage of current value but the same amount they paid in taxes. (Yes I know we don't tax this way)

3)Where are the bills for jobs? Show me ONE bill from the House that helped create new jobs.

4)Budget bills originate in the house...why are we STILL waiting for the Republican budget?

1. OOOH OOOH - I know those!

1) "Who the fuck do you think funds our campaigns?"
2) "That won't work. The top 2% can't afford to pay as much as they did in 2008. They need more tax breaks."
3) "Fuck jobs. That was just a campaign slogan to get the ignorant fuckers we call 'the base' to vote for us."
4) "Boner hasn't finished sucking it out of his ass yet."

3. The answer to 1) has to do with how PENSIONS are some of the biggest financiers of

our National Debt, some of the biggest DOMESTIC financiers of our National Debt, which is being added to right this very minute by ALL of the Bush Tax Cuts, while ALL of the financiers, foreign and domestic, are under attack from within STILL due to Bush's Derivative Crash of 2008. So you have a war amongst various sets of the financiers of our National Debt, partners in lending money to the U.S., with those who depend the most upon Tax Breaks (deficit creators), in order to be able to finance that national debt in the first place, attacking their financial partners, the Pensions/Unions, who depend the least upon Tax Breaks in order to invest in U.S Treasury bonds, because their investments are money right out of their PAY CHECKS.

Not sure I'm explaining this very well; Am I making sense here?

4. All of which is going on in a world economic climate in which the foreign investment in

our national debt responds most favorably to downward pressure on our wages and benefits.
