So...you completely disregard the fact that I say no to reckless government spending on defense, reckless oil and farm subsidies. Or how about propping up Israel??? Where is your conservatism on that? And by the way...still waiting on real world data bro? and what's your response to the conservative supreme court justices declaring that a corporation has the same rights as a human? or about Citizens United v. FEC? No response???
Okay..here goes the sponsor of the bill and a brief summary... 1) Carolyn Maloney - Credit card holder's bill of rights mandates clearer disclosure and prevents practices that in some cases charge interest on already paid balances. 2) Robert Menendez - Close Big oil tax loop holes "Repeals five tax subsidies for U.S. oil companies and closes a loophole that oil companies use to disguise foreign royalty payments as taxes and reduce their domestic tax bill. All savings under the bill would be applied to reducing federal budget deficits." 3) Barbara Mikulski - Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act Allows minorities and women to challenge pay discrimination. 4) Barney Frank - Wall Street reform and Consumer Protection Act You guys know this very well by now. 5) Patrick Leahy - The Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act "...enhance criminal enforcement of federal fraud laws, especially regarding financial institutions, mortgage fraud, and securities fraud or commodities fraud."
These states at the bottom of the economic standings have been there for decades. Most have only become red states in the last 20 years, especially on the local level. Even Texas only had its first Republican Governor after 100 years in 1979. The poverty rates are the legacy of the deprived and racist politics of the Democratic party for over 100 years before they became Red states. The discrimination and segregation that led to a racist public education system and a racist economic system. If you measure since 1980 the Southern red states have had the most job and population growth in the country. In fact in the last year Texas has created 37% of all the jobs in the great Obama recovery. If you look into any local town or city with a high level of poverty you most likely will find layer after layer of encrusted democrats in charge.
Chief Justice John Marshall: "A corporation is an artificial being" -pretty strong precedence The Citizens United case is what they call "unintended consequences " of bad law. The McCain -Feingold from the start was a dubious law. Logically the thought that Congress can limit speech in the last 30 days of a campaign is ugly law. Legally this opened he door to review all campaign law. Its clear that to limit corporations and not other legal entities is unfair. If two people get together to form a business why should they lose the right lobby for their interests?
for May 2011, the nation's unemployment rate is 9.1%. The present rate of unemployment rate for blacks is 16.2%. So, while the overall unemployment rate has risen by 1.5% since Obama took office, the rate of unemployment for blacks is 3.6% higher. Seen another way, the gap between the African-American unemployment rate versus that of the entire population has widened from 5.0% when Obama took office to 7.1% as of May 2011. That is a rather huge move in a relatively short period of time. What we've seen then is that African-Americans have had their economic state of life drop at a far greater rate versus other Americans during Obama's time in the White House
American people were really stupid for electing that liar Obama to the white house so disrespecting and insulting those responsible for that clown in the White House is well deserved.
