Is there a list of the Democrats who voted today?
Giving Corporations the biggest tax break that surely will give incentives of more outsourcing of jobs that will only hurt more working families in the Good Old USA?
I heard 48 Dems, is that correct?

We need to know the names, because of some small projects for their area they sold out on the working men and women of this country.
The burden on us taxpayers are not given a break at all, you know that at tax time but these corporations who have cut benefits and made incomes stagnate are in bed with our politicians.
Corruption in power and greed runs this country and those Democrats should be ashamed of themselves with their vote and deserve to be booted out of office.

1. Heard about it on NPR this evening
Edited on Thu Jun-17-04 10:38 PM by ewagner
Apparently, Democratic votes were "bought" in exchange for a tabacco buy-out plan AND the sales tax exemption in states that don't have a state income tax.

In other words, log-rolling and blackmail.

and they bought it.

14. We've certainly got MORE than
our share of corporate lackeys. First we get rid of the rightwing then we work to purge the party of these whores.

9. Thanks kentuck
I just submit my comment:

Hi Lou,
Thanks for informing us what Corporate America is doing in outsourcing jobs. And how our politicians vote in their favor like today's vote.
Those 48 Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for selling out their party and most of all the working men and women for a trade off.
There's too much greed and corruption in our government which no longer for the people.
America struggles when the Middle Class is eroding and the poor have no hope with millions of people still out of work.
Will they all wake up when America becomes a third country and it's too late or keep doing what they are doing while our government makes it easier for outsourcing like today's vote?

12. What is the government going to do when
most of the people are either not working or working at low wages and no longer pay enough taxes to support it?

16. Exactly what they want
Crumble.

I know people like Grover Norquist are insane, but they do have a lot of power, so we all need to listen to and understand what they say.

We're almost at that point anyway. Corporations basically run this country. If we're not fascist today, then we're in the door frame, and just need to take one last step forward(or backward, depending on your definition).
